I don't doubt it is very effective.....it's just that it's a new thing to me and will take a bit of getting used to.

Yeh.....to sniff!

I'm struggling to get used to this ABS malarkey actually.....cos I'm used to nearly 50 years of locking up and drifting the back wheel. Now I just get this pulse thing through the pedal. I could turn it off but I just get a big warning light flashing all the time.....and I find it distracting.

No.....that was a demotion. And so were a number of others as I recall.

You sure you got the bottle Fro? What you reckon @Clive?

Weren't you in the Crew that got banned from that Expat Forum after we stormed it after they banned me? I've been banned from 3 Expat Forums by the way.....I think that particular raid was on British Expats.

I dunno.....I'd say that losing your license is actually serious Pedro! You're a crazed speed freak on a white knuckle ride into oblivion via Death and Dismemberment Boulevard! Tell him @Tym

I've got a varied back catalogue of infractions! 1. 1972 Dangerous Driving......racing a Bonnie on my Triumph 3TA through the centre of Swansea and his motor exploded! Showered pedestrians with oil actually. Police showed up and then some twat pedestrian came up and accused me of terrorising him all night! We got a good brief and got it down to Due Care......think it was a 15 quid fine and 3 points. 2. 1973 on a Suzuki Hustler 250! I got charged with 17 offences in 15 minutes (including using the roads as a racetrack). Plod pursued me across a golf course and then the promenade on Swansea sea front. Pedestrians were actually jumping off the promenade into the road to get out of the way. They cornered me eventually by blocking my exit off the beach. Had the charge sheet.....it was like a telephone directory. A couple of weeks later all charges were dropped. I spoke to somebody who had contacts and it eventually transpired that Plod had broken all the Laws that I had in their pursuit. And people had even put in complaints against them! Bit embarrassing for them to go public with that so I lived to fight another day. 1975 Speeding in Llanelli on my GT380. 45 in a 30. Put in a bullshit sob story mitigation letter and ended up with a 5 quid fine and 3 points. So I lived to fight another day. 1980's......clean sheet. I hadn't much altered my riding or driving habits.....I just got lucky. 1996.....Speeding in Bicester in a Ford Orion.....40 in a 30. Couple of weeks later I got a letter saying charges were dropped. No idea why! So I lived to fight another day. 2005....Speeding on a TDM 900 on the M4 in Wiltshire....70 in a 50. But I'd only just bought the bike that day, and I remembered at the time quoted that I was actually somewhere else. With someone who's a member here! He confirmed that in writing to Plod.......so I lived to fight another day. 2013.....Speeding on an FZ6S Fazer on the A92N Autovia in Almeria.....140 in a 120. No way out of that one so I had to pay a €50 fine and no points. So I lived to fight another day. God knows how many times I've been pulled and warned over the years.....and bullshitted my way out of it. Upwards of 50 probably! It's still happening over here now actually......but now they don't say....."Who do you think you are Sonny.....Mike Hailwood?".....it's more like "Who do you think you are Señor.....Marc Marquez's Grandfather?"

It appears that PM's are being monitored by going through the database entries in PHPmyAdmin......very long winded and time consuming. From my POV I don't have the time to waste doing things like that, and secondly I don't think it's ethical. Those are supposed to be private........it's a question of trust as far as I'm concerned. There may also be GDPR ramifications as well these days.........I've got no idea. Bit of a grey area! What I do know is that GDPR is not something you want to breach......the fines are enormous.

Posted by an NHS professional on Twitter today...... "A Couple on the ward dying from Covid. Been together for 67 years. We have rearranged the ward so they can be together & hold each others hands, we have put their favourite music on Glenn Miller so they can spend some quality last few hours together".

@Buckster......do you think that @Swagman should be part of The Wrecking Crew here now?
-
And I should get an earner for taking the old twat as well!
-
1970.....not my kind of music either. Back then (and still the same now) it was more like......
-
The Temptations!
-
That CB650R for sure!

As I understand it, his account has been restricted or suspended so he can't post as normal. Maybe his Colostomy Bag burst all over the "Good Morning" thread or something? As for Rich, maybe an incomprehensible PM would straighten him up. @Clive tried sending him one here but he even confused himself writing it.

Losing the plot? There's a Plot? Why wasn't I told?

1920 x 200......bike must totally fit in that height and be front viewing.
-
I didn't know you had any other attributes apart from being a cunt Chris? Has @Buckster authorised this new attribute?
-
I don't think it even reaches that level Pedro!
-
That's over 40lbs heavier than my Beemer, and not far off the weight of a Strom.
-
Give em time Tym.....they've only had 35 years to get their shit together!

But it's guaranteed to last till it wears out!

Difficult to get people to comply when they see the people issuing the directives blatantly flaunting those same rules! Did you know what the pecking order to have the vaccines was? 1. Rupert Murdoch. 2. Bozo's rule-breaking old man. 3. The Queen
