I'm hoping it'll be the lecture option but TBH I haven't time in my day to fuck with them. Get it done and get it gone will be order of the day.

I took the f#cking with then to the outer edge of wire trim that surrounds the wire itself!Unless of course you’re a retired Victor Meldrew with too much time on your hands
Yes I’m looking at you @DD67
I wouldn't have done so if there was even a tiny chance that they actually had some kinda advanced driving/riding qualifications. Instead of just a CSE in public speaking. For all I know they were selling double glazing the week before!

I can't access the photo but (not that I'm going to, maybe) I'd like a detailed breakdown how 30 is safe and 36 unsafe on that stretch of road. I'm pretty sure they set up the camera where the limit changes so they snag you as you're simply rolling down. The 'safe' option is to brake violently from 60 to 30 when I see the sign, no?I took the f#cking with then to the outer edge of wire trim that surrounds the wire itself!

Stop trying to apply logic Chas. I absolutely guarantee you that the camera will have been set up as you suggested. Not because 36mph presents any real danger to anyone. But if the limit changes from 60mph to 30mph & they set up shop just inside the 30mph limit. It's very easy money!I can't access the photo but (not that I'm going to, maybe) I'd like a detailed breakdown how 30 is safe and 36 unsafe on that stretch of road.

Touch wood I have never been done for speeding which actually rather amazes me and I hope that my good fortune will continue. Closest I came was when I went haring into a 30mph zone from a 40mph while doing something like 70mph. The copper was walking along the road to his car from wherever he had been set up and all he could do was point the gun at me as if it was a pistol and make like he had shot me
A mate of mine was close to losing his licence many moons ago and so he decied to throw together a ramshackle 250 scrambler from assorted bits in a bid to create something that he simply couldn't speed on. The first time out on it he got done coming through an area that had been a forty for years that they had changed to a thirty the week before. Sometimes you just can't win!

Disgraceful, should've been locked up and the keys threw away. Not for speeding but for having a Jawa. Hold on I had a Reliant Regal

I vaguely remember them, did they advertise the combo in the bike magazines of the day, or am I imagining it.

Was it called a "Javelin" because you could throw it faster than it could go under its own power?

Did you get in the tradesman's box, did you sir?
Is that Fatima (does my cock look big in these shorts) Whitbread?
Which reminds me of a joke...
Fatima Whitbread goes to the Dr
Dr, I've been taking steroids & I've grown a cock.
Anabolic?
No Dr, just a cock for now.

Bloody bike left me stranded at the clinic with a flat battery. Had to push it in the last 1/4 mile and as I was there for a BP monitoring hardly ideal (yep, I did record a PB )
Looks like there's a break in the charging circuit, unless the genny has given up. Thought it cranked a bit slow this morning on the way to work, looks like I was running on battery only today.
I'll do the usual genny output checks at the weekend, forecast storms tonight so I'll be using the car anyhow tomorrow. Hoping it's a failure on my repair of a couple of years ago on the fuse box rather than the genny. I'd rather eat some humble pie on my fixin skills and pay for some solder and a bit of time than the phyrric victory of paying for a new genny and knowing my repair was sound

Ideal for camping, stick a light inside and a sleeping bag sorted
