Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick). There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too. |

LOL.
I have to admit to being guilty as a cashpoint cripple. Took the SV to the nearest town last weekend, rode down a pedestrian precinct, parked outside the bank. Used the ATM (as I wasn't going to go into the bank wearing full wet gear - hassle of taking helmet off etc), got back on, rode the rest of the pedestrian area, and out through the bus station. Got a few strange looks, but it made me chuckle. |

 I've never understood that sign - how can you hide a dip in the road ? We came across a couple yesterday - it bl**dy obvious there's a dip 'cos the road just appears to stop & then start again a couple of hundred yards away - even OUR highways agency isn't moronic enough to leave a patch of empty ground between 2 stretches of road - are they ??

But to park in a disabled space and deprive those who genuinely need it is just soooooo wrong in my mind.

I'd never ever think about parking in a disabled spot, in the car or on the bike. I'd just put the bike on the path next to it.  I have been known to put my Ford Galaxy bumper touching the bumper of another car parked in a way I didn't like it as well. I don't recall anything in the highway code that states how far away from another vehicle I must park!(As a side note, riding through bus stations - that happen to be close to a university, is a great place for ornithology.) |

I'm sure that they must have those disabled signs at Brent Cross shopping centre.
