That's very OLD news from 2020 and anyway a 900W battery on today's bikes will definitely not get you 290km more like 90km!

Don't be like that, think positive. This could be your opportunity to stop a miscarriage of justice and declare some poor asylum seeker innocent after the police grabbed them off the street and forced them to sign a confession for some heinous crime, without a solicitor or translator present, having been told it was their document for permission to stay in the UK! People can end up in Crown Court because the magistrates implicitly believe everything the police tell them regardless of how unlikely or improbable the so called evidence might be and a jury trial will be their only real opportunity for justice!

I have one of these fixed in the stem of my bike and for multi-day tours I also take a puncture repair outfit, pump and tyre levers and a spare tube if space allows. Other than that a Swiss army knife is more than sufficient.😀

Nice one, even got the 2 small side lights on the nacelle, love it! How are they these days for oil leaks, Ive seen a few twins around (Interceptors I think?) that had no oil under them when parked! Back in the day I was very much a BSA man (DBD34 Gold Star with lots of Eddie Dow cafe racer stuff on it) but I did own two British made Enfields a 250 Crusader and a Meteor Minor (500 Twin), very very solid unburstable bikes but oh both pissed out oil from everywhere.

So over and above all the science is this something that can or could be used in a commercial alternative to to a Lithium ion battery, i.e. better, cheaper , safer?

I was going to mention that as a follow up and yes agree with you entirely on the localised cloud, umm isn't Chernobyl well to the east and of the Lake district which is known for it's predominantly westerly winds?😧 I had just moved to Germany when the Chernobyl accident happened and here in Bavaria we weren't allowed to pick or eat local mushrooms for many years but other than that no need panic.

Sad that given the UK was the first to build nuclear power stations back in the 1950s though I believe one had a serious leak that irradiated much of the Lake District albeit not a danger to the public, according the the government at the time!🤫

Do you have more info on SMRs last I heard they were still experimental. If the Chinese are building a new nuclear power station every 3 weeks how come Sizewell C is taking so long? Or is building not the same as commissioning and bringing them online? What is China doing with all those coal fired power stations I seem to remember they were building one something like every 5 mins?😉

Also on that I have no idea how Americans heat there homes these days, it used to be oil for heating and electricity for cooling just about everywhere as even large towns and cities had no distribution system for gas. So unlike Europe low demand, low prices???

Check out what price you have been committed to pay for electricity from Sizewell C if you are concerned about subsidies!

I have no idea but as an observation, from several visits to the USA in the past, their power distribution even in the larger cities is almost entirely overhead and people there complain, the same as here in Europe, about the gas prices at the pumps despite much lower taxes!

I assume you must be wearing glasses similar to those used by the famous Zaphod Beeblebrox, you know the ones that go completely opaque if you see something that contradicts your beliefs!😀

Much the same here, we can get vacination for Pneumonia and Shingles at 70 though and a booster for the Pneumonia around 5 years later, Covid and Flu yearly. I didn't need the Shingles this year but had all the rest including RSV which I'd never heard of. My father had Shingles in his early 60s and suffered vicious pain from it till the day he died, I didn't want any of that!
