Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

How many people these days actually read the new highway code whenever it comes out?! I know we should, but I seriously doubt there are that many that do. So I reckon most people won't know about...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Well, having taken them out of the box earlier they seem pretty good. I've now charged the batteries for the required time and given them a quick indoors and they seem very good. Although the battery...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

This is your point of view and you're most welcome to it, whether I agree with it or not, but please don't snip out my reasoning for not having proportional representation when quoting me. I feel...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

And you think the proportional representation idea of the Lib Dem's is better? Because it wouldn't be, we'd get even less done as a government/country because there just be even more arguing,...

Here here!


Brexit has happened and there is nothing that can change that now, as the people voted for it, whether by fair means or fowl (depends on your point of view), but it's done now. So...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Having had my 2nd AZ on Saturday, I can say my reaction to this one was nowhere near as bad as the first one. I was floored for 48 hours with the first and the second I felt crap in the morning after...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I'm afraid I don't believe it is, it'd be damned awkward without the ability to drive (I definitely know this), but you can manage. Also that is why I think everyone should have to go through some...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

We also should make the driving test FAR more difficult, driving is a privilege, NOT a right and people should only be driving/riding if they're of a good enough standard! People that are very...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

You're right, I reckon I almost certainly did, but there was also some kind heartedness in their too. Just makes you wonder why everyone can't be like that!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I think it's mostly to do with the drivers. IMO new drivers should not be allowed to drive on motorways until they have passed a second part (and wholly separate) of a driving test. Like a mandatory...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I'm afraid that I'm naughty (and lazy) and I undertake people constantly, in the vague hope (and I know it's very vague) that they might realise that they can change lanes.... but I do make sure/am...

Why would you want a naked on long trips though?! Yes the S has clip on bars which might be a little more uncomfortable (but I've never owned a bike with flat bars.....), but the biggest thing for me...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
