  1. Ya boo sucks was a particularly good reason.
  2. A photo of the set up in action would be good. I am waiting for a Kryptonite chain and disc lock. Neither crop proof chain from Almax or Pragmasis will fit through the ground anchor I have. The Kryptonite is on the list of insurer approved and I live in a low crime area.

  4. x2 . This is the most prolific start to a challenge yet. The good weather is getting people out and about. Tomorrow is to be cold, dry and clear up here.
  5. I have ended up with various stick on and magnetic LED battery powered lights. Fine for the occasional use that I do.
  6. Great list GOG, I like the way you have altered the regions and not stuck strictly to borders, so Jedburgh is in with north English tags. I can see me doing the whole of Scotland this time as the very northern tags were a long way for 10 points.
  7. Er, had you gone somewhere?
  8. Don't you mean a day with ice or pouring rain? Thats the days muffs are for.
  9. Do a running commentary as OhJay suggested. This is an extreme example of what a commentary is like, a high speed run in a police car https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p ... VtQ4NN5_-Q but it gives you an idea of how the driver is always on the look out for hazards and anticipating issues. As you ride up to a corner you would be saying to yourself - that you are approaching a right/left hand bend - there are/are not any warning signs or slow markers for the bend - the view is clear/obscured through the bend - the road surface is good/potholes/dry/wet/oil - there is/is not another vehicle coming the other way and nothing at all about bushes etc on the verge as that does not matter.
  10. I got a t shirt which has a kevlar lining and pockets for body armour. Come on the summer!
  11. Is anyone planning on doing Scotland in 2015?
  12. That is what I was thinking, they can't use that video to help out their pall as it will end up getting one them into bother.
  13. Hopefully that is one of those on line videos that is used to prosecute the riders
  14. I watched some and mostly the accidents were the biker's fault.
  15. Register here viewtopic.php?f=12&t=55353 by choosing a number, put the number on a piece of paper so it can be displayed on your bike when you are stopped. Ride your bike to the tags that are places of interest all over the UK. Photograph your bike with its number and the tag. Get 10 points for each tag completed and bonuses for completing regions. Enjoy riding new roads and seeing new parts of the country.
  16. I had a Punto and it was the most reliable car I have ever owned. It is fun to drive as well.
  17. To those who registered and did not complete any tags, why not do your own area or the pubs? Finding new routes on your own backyard is one of the best things about the challenge.
  18. Fourth to third to second, but I cannot see me being able to make it to the top spot next year due to a relative lack of holidays since our holiday periods have been changed. Top 5 will do.
  19. The helmets I have had have been varying degrees of noisy. I would not say any are quiet. Hence earplugs and the cheap foam ones work for me. I wet them and put them in thick side in to get the best fit.
  20. That or the US forum is your best bet for an answer. The Versys is a reliable bike, you have been unlucky.
  21. It must be time for a 2015 registration thread. Can have number 2 please
