I went to Squires Cafe.

I was going to take my granddaughter (12) with her new kit ..helmet, gloves, jacket etc ...she was so excited ... so excited it seems that calling her mother a bitch and her sister (11) a slag she had forgotten about consequences .... 

Grounded !

No ride out with grandad ... serves her right ...

So i went by myself ... pleasant 3 hours on the bike ...

Yes but you could buy a speedo healer from HealTech https://www.healtech-electronics.com/products/sh/ 

Happy birthday @Tiggie have a good day

[Sarcasm On]

Thank you for being the best mod the forum has got and not messing about and keeping things on the straight and narrow 

We don't know what we would do without you

[/Sarcasm Off]

Hi and welcome to the forum 

Good luck with everything 

changing the gearing will give it more acceleration and lose top end but who needs 150mph+ on the road?

also remapping could give you some gains too

Nah, it's pretty much just deleting spam accounts, trying to keep @rennie awake, stopping @Bender from making people flounce and to be honest I'm not exactly sure what @Stu even does 

I make bad decisions like making people mods........

Hmm, wonder who that might be

Not me that's for certain! 

We had two turn up then passed some other lads from work at the side of the road who also decided to try and show off by riding as dangerous as they can to catch us and pass us

Morning all 

Bike day with some lads from work! 

I have a feeling we have a show off coming along

Happy birthday @fastbob  

After @Bungleaio raised his frustration in a topic he had just written I have added undo/redo buttons in to the editor 

If you're working on a computer shortcuts work too 

Ctrl+Z = Undo 

Ctrl+Y =Redo 

might help anyone if they accidentally delete the text in a post 

Great write up and pics  

All the right way too

This year I made a promise to myself to take as many photos as I could when out on the bike as I am shit and never do 

So in light of that here is some pics 

That's almost all the photo's I have taken  

Yes I am still shit and never take photos

Me. Sitting here wondering when the courier will deliver my new mirrors, so though I would check the order status on SBS. The bloody order had not gone through fully, a c**k up on my part, so they had not been ordered. Just redone it so will now get them tomorrow 

I hope you used the bloody link on the forum

I could push him into

I would stop this! you can't push someone in to it you have to let it happen over time pushing will make things worse 

Why not ASK him if he fancies the NEC bike show in November for a start

Gave the big girl a good clean down, and prepped her for a lie down until next year put fuel stabiliser in the tank and hooked up to the trickle charger. 1st time I've owned a bike and not rode it through the cruddy season. 

All the best for the Op and rest up and take it easy

probably because he reckons he has waited long enough for this and by god now he is going to grab it with both hands 

Prince Andrew did that and look where that landed him..............

I too have one of those and can't complain about it 

RIP Lizzy!

Yes and no, the fact is the world needs to reduce reliance on focal Fuels. Wind and solar energy have a part to play.  Ideally renewables should be the only solution, however that isn’t going to happen for along long time.  
 

Presently it would probably mean massive changes in lifestyle that we would not accept, so no government is brave enough to do…. 

 

They do it by pushing forward though electric cars, just like wind and solar are developing but not quite there yet. Putting cart before the horse?
 

Instead they make daft decisions like stopping selling 125cc motorbikes ICE bikes first probably the cheapest most efficient form of individual transport.  Should they not start picking on the most inefficient polluting motorbikes? 

As with cars stopping the vehicles that use the most energy/ fuel / produce the most CO2 first?  Or can they not afford to upset those that can afford to pay the high taxes..  

 

If someone developed a car that could do 100mpg with with less than 50g/km CO2 should that not be allowed as a super low emissions ICE vehicle?

 

It would almost certainly be more environmentally friendly than an EV.

 

On the bright side the uk is leading the world in certain areas:

 

 

https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/
 

We have a global environmental record our CO2 per capita is low (1/3 of ) and  reducing quicker than any other country.  I am guessing that is not going to be without some significant cost to the economy.

 

I have never seen that in the press….

 

 

 

You're going too far off track here the point I'm making is they advertise 100% renewable energy when it's not so in essence m bills shouldn't be increasing like they are! 

If you paid by debit or credit card then approach your bank about reversing the payment 

So it's all false advertising and bullshit then

I can answer that, cause its all tied to the fecking price of gas ie the most expensive cost, eurupoe has same system and are looking to break the link. 

But how? 

It's supposed to be wind and sun that supplies their electric not gas!

As I know little about her I've done a bit of google

 

Truss worked for Shell, during which time she qualified as a Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA) in 1999. In 2000, Truss was employed by Cable & Wireless and rose to economic director before leaving in 2005.^[19]

 

 

I wonder if she can answer the question of why shell energy has increased their electricity prices despite claiming that they use 100% renewable electricity
