Not bad for a motorcyclist.

I’ve just found a load at the back of a cupboard, best before August 2012.
Big ride planned for tomorrow, so will scoff them then.
Will report back if I die.

I wish I didn’t open this thread.

I switched to them about 6 months ago and have had no issues.
Seems more reliable and better speeds than when I was with talk talk, and I’ve had no need to speak to customer services.

It depends if I’m aroused or not.

My local branch has bike stands reduced to £14.99 too.

I used to enjoy watching old top gear with my boy (which is who it was aimed at), but new top gear is just dull, dumbed down TV without the funny bits.
No more for me until they replace Evans.

Religion.

edit- reading… 😳

Spokey dokeys.

Walk the Ceredigion/Pembrokeshire coast path, and camp along the way.

AM41s here.
Currently £60 from CRC with £10 off if you make your basket up to £75.
2 year guarantee too, so better value than cheap skate shoes in the long run.

What’s not to like?

So where does the ‘hi 5’ now fit in?

Push her off a cliff, Cliff.

Coke and hookers.

Tell her to jog on, Yvonne.

We’re meant to actually ride them??? ❓

Things will come out of holes.

Depends on your budget.
I’ve got some 65mm carbon ICAN rims on the way.
Will be building them with El Guapo fat hubs from Planet X- which look great for the money.

I phoned the court to query it, and was told that this is now policy (in Wales at least)- rather than a fixed penalty notice, speeding fines are now sent to the magistrate.
So a £100 fine becomes a £200 fine.
This was relatively minor speeding with a clean driving licence, so beware when making progress. 🙂

Turns out that I drove off with a nearly new Met Terra lid (with Lezyne rear light on the back) on the roof of my car like a massive knobber

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one.
Gloves too!

Never clean it.

We’re you offered/given and did you accept a ticket from the cop who stopped you?

He just took my details and said they’d be in touch to let me know whether it would be a fine, SAC or prosecution.

If it’s all legit it’s probably going to be more hassle than it’s worth getting rid of the extra £100, if that is even possible.

I suppose I don’t really have any choice other than to bend over and take it.
But at least I’ve stuck it the man by having a bit of a moan on a mountain bike forum. 😉

Because it was above 46mph?

Nope. Below 46 you wouldn’t get anything. Above 46 could be either the £100 fine + 3 points, or speed awareness course.
There is a 10% + 2mph threshold, in order to prevent people from having to obsessively stare at their speedoes so they can pay more attention to the road.

You should have received the first letter asking for the name of the driver within 14 days.

That’s only if you are caught by a camera. I was stopped in person (by an unmarked car incidentally), so the ‘NIP’ can be given verbally.

Minor?

You were doing 22.5% over the limit. That’s not even remotely close to minor. And with most speedos over reading you were probably doing an indicated 53mph maybe?

The policeman who pulled me over told me I was doing 49.
And according to NPCC guidelines it is ‘minor’, and eligible for a speed awareness course.
I’m just a bit miffed that they’ve added an extra £100 on when I’ve complied with their requests.

Sounds a bit fishy…..as above, I’d have expected a letter…..

Are you sure it’s a legitimate e-mail? 6 months is a long time too….

Yes, definitely legit unfortunately. I filled in the original forms online- which I didn’t get until 5 months after being stopped.

any points?

Yes, +3 points.

Cut down on coke. And hookers.

Sounds like a good excuse, go for it.

Booby trap your house, Home Alone style.

I own most of the PSAs.

Bike mayhem

I had one of these in my student days. 8)

BOOM!

Are you ‘sit-downers’ mid transition?
