The turbo-c**t who thought that women and children at a gig are viable targets in a phoney war over who's invisible man in the sky is better.

Very worried that if it happens to be a guy from near where I live (Oldham) then the whole place could erupt... we've had riots before over much less.

How long is the exhibition on for?

My first car insurance was with Swift, who were reasonable enough for a year. Otherwise I would just jump on moneysupermarket for a new policy.

Right then, weather has been shite but forecasts currently show no rain for race days.

I will be up at the site from about 2pm on Friday, and sat in front of tent with beer from about 2.30

Should be fine its a big field

Good stuff! Wasn't sure as I got turned away from a few places in North Cornwall in 2011.

Good grief... my family tent is about twice that size, I'd go spare if I rocked up at a campsite and they refused it

Congrats to Micky D in the superbike race yesterday, obliterating the lap record in the process. I was there in 2014 when he won 4 TT's, my money's on him doing it this year.

Unreal speed, first sub-17minute lap wasnt it?

Super mystery tags... choose 3 locations in an area with a 4th one in the vicinity (or on the route) that links them all somehow.

For example:

Grosmont Town + Hole of Horcum + RAF Fylingdales = Goathland, AKA Aidensfield from "Heartbeat"

Daft i know

 

WTF!!!

we are only bikers you know

OK How about this:

Went to the doctors for a checkup, he asked me why I had a steering wheel down my pants..

...SO i told him it was driving me nuts.

Cheers Guys

Seems I need to bite the ballet

 

I'd stick with biking and give the dancing a miss.

Well there may be trouble ahead....

Think you can donate then to the fire brigade for their training.

Very sensible, worthwhile and community focused, i approve

Or turn them over and use them as plant pots

But I would still this

Love a good strike the French do... TO THE BARRICADES!!!

Well that's just escalated quickly.

Booked weekend camping

Me on my own with the kids

Practice for Scarborough Hope y'all have a good weekend.

Pulp Fiction theme?

DOES HE LOOK...LIKE...A BITCH???!!?!

It boils down to force Policy, that's all. Some cameras are painted yellow to be seen, and they can recover a certain percentage of revenue from fines. Same for camera vans. Some will put signage out, some won't. Some will actively declare where they will be on their website beforehand. There's no hard and fast rule about being sneaky.

On a side note, a few weeks back I was shooting down the A14, towards Cambridge from BSE and couldn't quite believe what I saw on the opposite side slip road. A marked police vehicle almost buried totally in a hedge with a copper trying to do a sniper spot with his speed gun. Even as a copper myself I thought it was bad form and was appalled. If your gonna do it as a marked unit, then do it and be visible. Leave the sneaky stuff to the unmarked patrols.

How accurate are those speed guns in terms of target at a distance? I rounded a corner about 15 over the speed limit and saw a copper pointing one towards me about 500 meters away. Obviously slammed on the brakes, I was over the limit when I saw him which meant he saw me. Was expecting his pal in the car to pull me. They ignored me, which I thought was lucky and odd.

AFAIK they need to be a certain distance in order to be reliable and accepted in court, depending on the model of "gun". Google tells me that a laser-gun has a range of about a mile, whereas a radar version is only effective up to 300yrds.

Also - a motorbike at speed is a slightly harder "target" than a car. I am also of the firm (eg. naieve ) belief that many traffic police are "sensible biker friendly", which may have helped your cause

Ok, so rapidly going off the idea of riding to work now.

Why?? Just trying to help you avoid those nasty little tea-leaves. Most big cities have secure bike parking facilities these days - which you seem to have identified. But even without those its a case of carrying a decent chain or disc-lock in a rucksack and being aware of any damage or changes to the security or chains etc. Don't let this put you off

If you are going to park in the same place each day can you leave the chain there locked to something. Often see that in bike parks. Saves carrying it each day.

The local council might take exception to that, mine did at one point

31 Days until Cock o' North

I'm arriving by train (advance party ) with tent, kettle and a few tins on the Friday afternoon and will be available for tent-erection and beer-drinking support should it be required.

I am still waiting for another game to get stuck into, I seem to get bored very easily. So if anyone else wants to recommend let me know.. at the moment I am stuck on playing Dota2 or Arma3 while I find another game. Black desert online looks good, but I don't have that much time on my hands these days. I've heard good things about Overwatch too.

I try to get on with my Ps4 but i always end up back to PC gaming.

Stellaris is good if you are into your turn-based strategies (ie. Civ 3, Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron etc).

I've lost weeks to Football Manager, Civ and Age of Empires over the years

Civ games are great, and they have just announced Civ 6.

Civ 5 is a bit transparent for my taste, but a really good introduction to the game.

Stellaris

Paradox are utter utter utter gits

RIGHT that's it. I was thinking yesterday about how my bike still doesn't have a name, and this settles it.

My bike will henceforth be known as Badger.

Time to buy some decals.

Yeah I'm stealing that...

D'Yer Mak'er - Led Zeppelin

I'm based to the west of Manchester (Saddleworth), but work abroad most of the time.

Should be back on two wheels by the summer so will be well up for some rideouts by then - dates permitting
