Copper SV could be Pedro, met up with him on tuesday at Bill Smiths in Chester, he,s well but been working away for some time now, said to say hello to all who remembers him.

I had a blast yesterday, very little traffic anywhere. Didn't see any unmarked policetypes, but on the cat and fiddle there were 3 different mobile speed cameras. Talk about unnecessry :rolleyes:

Went to Bakewell yesterday, traffic was fine, but the town was packed.
Been to Rhyl today & it is quite busy. I can't believe that most of the major superstores are closed, I can't remember that happening before.
I will see what the weather is doing tomorrow & might venture out again :)

I got mine (bike) out and went to Rivington Barn yesterday, loads of bikes and too many cars there, easy to get in at 11.30, not so easy to get out at 13.30, why do they allow the cars right to the barn? Saw a yellow pointy, didn't think yellow made it to the pointy though? saw two red pointy's as well, no curvy's though, apart from mine?!?!:D

Had a ride up the cat and fiddle today loads out saw a few sv's on the way and loads of coppers marked and unmarked, camera vans and a very sly green transit van with no markings but did have cameras in the back! and they had there new speed detection thing out, black box by the side of the road, works out if its a bike then when you pass the next one it works out the time its took and your speed :(
