I don't think it makes much of a muchness personally. For the opinion poll I'll vote out, mainly as I've not been given any concrete info of either side other than fear tactics/propaganda, I'm willing to take a gamble. We won't stop trading because we left the "treehouse club". We don't really get dictated to, we choose to accept guidance and enshrine it as our own law/regs. If you look at it, it's not very often (not as often as made out at least) the ECHR overrules us and I don't think it's a bad idea to have an extra pair of eyes making sure things are done right. The conservatives... Hmmm... Now I voted for them. However since then I've seen them demolish (services) my local hospital, (in preparation for selling off-I presume) remove the Highways Agency from crown responsibility and turn it into a government owned company which allowed a known asset stripper take over the majority of its tendered contracts- just happened to 'strip' the guy who taught me my trade and is the nicest and hardest working man you will ever meet, more years continual service in this country than I've been alive. No loyalty to this country or any other. But I do think closer to the equator wouldn't be a bad idea... I'm still waiting for this damn global warming to increase the temperature! Might go outside and burn a plastic bag, do my bit etc.

I'll admit I'm a bit of a jessy with weather... And I don't have waterproofs, 10degrees and it went on the Oxford charger, and that's where it'll stay till march at least!!

I'd say negative first on account that it is earth, so if you short it to earth/frame etc then no harm no foul. Just put an acceptable IP rated single pole rocker switch inline from live and mount somewhere accessible, heck if you feel a bit crazy, put a kinda fighter pilot flip up cover ROCKET switch in!

I thought you could on a 125 now? They changed the rules this year or last didn't they? I don't know exactly what they are but they changed it! -

My apologies for coming in late! And mr denz? One word.... Awesome!!! Can't get enough of it, I've been trying to get thunderpantz on the job but I don't think he likes me... lmao. I've clocked up 300-odd miles so far, my furthest ride was into Brum down a38 from Lichfield, then I got lazy cus it was dark and I wanted my tea so used the back roads to frankley services and up the motorway, felt like a bit of a Wally when I realised I had another gear when joining the M6.... I have my daughter this weekend so nothing doing for me, however I'm on nights wed &thurs, which means I'm available during the days, if anyone's about, yes you too mr pantz! -
I've had my ER6 since the start of this month, and while I know it's not the biggest bike in the world or most loony, but by Christ it's plenty for me, I've been taking the softly softly approach to running it in, with a few episodes of f*ck this s*it, I'm bored- and letting her open (but not fully), it just pulls at any revs? I pull back and it just goes?! I had the front wheel up in 4th I'm sure? Maybe 3rd or 5th, I never know but that'll come I'm sure, it was a split second but that was my cue saying "alright now ya penis, reign it in" I've done 250miles on it so have a long way to go before it's "run in" according to the guy at the shop, just need to find nice runs to take it on without too much high speed road, found the joys of horse poop on a bike joeman... It's slippy! Good job I play it extra careful when going to my mums, and my dads, and the grandparents. I personally ride so I'm going comfortable round corners, I don't rev the nuts off it and I don't let it splutter, probably around the 4k mark? Redlines at 10 or 12? But she ain't gonna see that colour for a long while yet!!

Bike theory questions >>
SamboRambo replied to a topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
Just make an ISO of it on another PC/mac and play it through poweriso or demontools or whatever on netbook, and as for the point of making em for PC? I whole heartedly agree. Since windows 8 where they copied OSX for some god knows what reason? That's why windows was popular, because it didn't suck like apple. But now it's all the same were destined to have no diversification. Rubbish. -
Bike theory questions >>
SamboRambo replied to a topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
The theory and hazard perception for bike is tailored for a bike rider, that's why you get a different theory cert, otherwise you'd be able to use your original. That said from a car driver of over 10years and done more miles than the average will do in a lifetime I can honestly say that it stumped me on quite a few things, don't be complacent. Learn the weird things, the odd things like the 50billion types of tropical bird named pedestrian crossings, learn national speed limits for different types of roads, and more recently they've added in ATM & MM Active Traffic Management & Managed Motorways, the types of solid/broken and both lines, when to use certain lanes, colours of "cats eyes" for different lanes. Hazard perception can be failed but I don't really see that happening. It's fairly straight forward click when you see a hazard emerging and click again when the situation changes with say another hazard etc, personally I'd have a look on torrent sites for the software.... Wait. Can I say that here? I'm sure it'll be blocked if not.
