Phone checks will not be done for a simple speeding offence. And in any case it would just mean that the phone was in the area not with the bike as the system is very inaccurate. There is insufficient evidence to prosecute. The operator could have wrote down the number wrong, no facial image so impossible to say who was riding it. Regards the 172 how can you say you were riding the bike when there is no number plate or photo evidence to support it. Personally contest it, fpn's assume guilt and the alleged guilty party decide to pay as the penalties at Court are higher. Anpr will again only say your vehicle was at a specific location NOT the offence location. Personally I think if u did it man up take the fine and be honest. I guess that's why the country is in a mess you can't trust anyone because of a lack of honesty. I've been done before and took a speed awareness course. I guess unless u have lost someone through a speeding caused rtc none of us would truly understand how Important it for us all to try and not speed, easier said than done I know.

Yeah plastic prick !!!

I'd love an Africa twin but my budget wouldn't stretch I'm trying to over pay my mortgage buy seems like from what everyone is saying the Honda dcts are great. I'm hoping to do a few test rides next month and take it from there

Belt drive would really be a great idea for the nc. I am tempted to look at a new nc in the v near future. How do you find the seat comfort?

Test ride them all first but as most say the Honda ticks most ur boxes especially for those miles

Yep I agree with the comment if you did it just have the points I guess the legal system is at bursting point burdening it more if ur guilty don't help. Its not the worst thing 3 points. I've been a little more careful since I may have got pinged.

I know it's smaller and a twin but what about a cbr500r great little sportster

Just be careful s172 road traffic act they can ask you who was driving at the time of the alleged offence and you are obliged to respond. Potentially do experian checks and if they get you're phone number do checks to find out where ur mobile was triangulated at the time. What's the chance of the operator writing down a reg number which matches the bike on the photo? Is there anything distinctive on the photo matching yours? Is there an anpr camera in the area which may have pinged ur plate these take photos and does the rider match the one on the speed camera???? Just take a think before sending a response it may not be worth the chance for 3 points or a speed awareness course. I've got to wait 14 days to see if I got stung on a speed van I think I was doing about 34-36 in a 30 Just worth a thought sometimes not worth making it worse than it is

Nooooooooo! I'm sure Xmas stuff will be on the shelves by September tho lol

Hello all I'm looking to upsize my bike. My RE Himalayan does all I need but with my wife enjoying being pillion more than even she thought I need something a little bigger for those longer rides. Currently I'm looking at the Tracer 900gt, Vstrom 1000 or a bmw f800gt. I know they are all different beasts. I'm looking to buy new and going to hang onto the bike for many years. I will have around £3000 as a deposit. All three have Good finance deals at the moment hence why I've reduced it to these 3 and I'm looking to test ride all 3 next week. Just looking for people's views, at present I like the tracer and I think the only thing I would need to add is a decent top box its standard level of kit seems quite comprehensive. As for the bmw as per I thing most stuff is an optional extra but the list price is less so I figure price wise there won't be much in it. I'm sure it will come down to the test ride but it's nice to get people's long term ownership views as it's one I want to hang onto. Thanks in advance, mike

I can't help but always introduce a bit of childish humour. Oh well if I've got nothing constructive to say I may as well have a laugh

What about fat bots or hairy bots?

Haha love it, but how the feck am i gonna fit a volvo to the bike Now there's a thought I'm sure it could be done in some wierd kind of way

Get one if these state of the art ">

My wife and mother in law worked at Cadbury for many years. Yes the chocolate is noting like what the Cadbury family produced. Sadly most people local to the factory think the same too. Lindt for me and green and blacks is some of the best

Yes elderflower champagne is v nice love the taste of elderflowers. I'm always on the lookout for elderflowers but have to get there quick before someone else picks it! Mead is another cheap and easy one. But once bottled best left for about 5 yrs to taste its best

In all fairness I drink less now I brew my own just spend less on it. I have a job where I can't be drinking the night before work which helps. Its just nice to make ur own stuff sometimes but I guess if u have no will power etc homebrew Is not for all

Hi piggy, I regularly make beer and spirits and occasionally wine. Beer from decent kits and partial mash. If interested in partial mash buy a brewing book by Graham wheeler it's really good and tells you all you need to know. I made my own beer boiler which is perfect for the job Spirits wise I bought a still spirits distiller at 130 quid seems pricey but if you use it a lot it works out really cheap about 2 quid a bottle

I had a bullit 250cc just one minor issue other than that it was a good capable bike and well built

F800s I also love and the belt drive has some clear advantages quite economical bikes

I'd love a tracer at some point as well! my 07 is the stepping stone to bigger things. That being said Id struggle to part with it, we seem to get on pretty well haha. That's the same as me with my RE Himalayan I can't part with it but may well make an addition to the garage next year

Elizabeth I'm glad ur pleased with ur purchase. I think from all of what I've heard yamaha have really got the nail on the head with the mt07 and tracer great engine and price very versatile twin, I think for the money you would be hard pressed to beat it. I know people rave about the 790 duke but it costs a lot more. I love the mt09 and tracer 9 lovely triple.i hope you keep enjoying it, that's what it's all about.

I can't help you there I'm afraid, like most things though I would imagine it may not currently be worth as much as it should be. If you can I would keep it and look after it, I'm sure in years to come it will only go up in price. Just keep all original paperwork to prove its an authentic Jordan. It looks stunning, I used to think the f1 Jordan Hondas looked great in that scheme

Honda nc750x I know a lot slate them but sips the fuel and effortless to ride
