    I had exactly the same issue, the only thing I have changed is to narrow my stance a little – about 1cm difference on the binding mount. I run duck too, not quite as aggressive as you (+15 -9). However if you where to widen it and force your backplates up a little it would make you bend your knees!!

    Legal Number Plates
    The law states that,

    You must not alter, rearrange or misrepresent the letters or numbers
    Characters must not be moved from one group to the other (e.g. A242 ABC must not be displayed as A242A BC).
    Offences may result in any or all of the following:

    A fine of up to £1,000
    The registration mark may be WITHDRAWN
    The vehicle may FAIL the MOT test
    Full details of the requirements are included in The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001

    All number plate suppliers will need to see at least one document from each of the lists below. This will allow the number plate supplier to confirm your name, address and entitlement to the registration number. All documents must be original, not copies THIS IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT.

    Documents to confirm your identity

    One of the following:

    driving licence, whether or not issued in the United Kingdom (UK) (with or without a photo) – this is preferred because it’s a secure, government-issued document showing both name and address
    a bill issued by your electricity, gas or water supplier, a landline telephone bill, or a council tax bill (current within the last six months) or rates bill (in Northern Ireland only)
    a bank or building society statement
    a passport, whether or not issued in the UK
    a national identity card issued by the government of a state or territory other than the UK
    a debit or credit card issued by a bank or building society
    a police warrant card
    an armed forces identity card
    Documents to establish your entitlement to the registration number

    One of the following:

    vehicle registration certificate (V5C or V5CNI) – these are the preferred documents
    the new keeper supplement (V5C/2 or V5C/2NI) of the registration certificate
    certificate of entitlement (V750)
    retention document (V778) (not applicable in Northern Ireland)
    vehicle licence renewal form (V11)
    temporary registration certificate (V379) (not applicable in Northern Ireland)
    authorisation certificate (V948) with an official stamp from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) or Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA)
    a letter of authorisation from a fleet operator (including lease or hire company) (not applicable in Northern Ireland) – the letter must quote the document reference number from the registration certificate, not the vehicle identification number

    IA makes a good point there, most insurance companies offer the same. The difference been that your insurance company will sort out the supply of the new car as well.

    Gap insurance is a good product if you aren't paying too much for it. It usually gets offered to you at around the £400 mark for 3 years cover. Just doing a quick search online I have found a cover underwritten by AXA for £155 pounds. They will also fight it out with your insurance company to get the best price for the write off. As with any insurance though, you will only find out if it's any good when you come to use it. I think the only time they will not pay out is if they can prove that you have deliberately written the car off.

    There are 2 different types of GAP.
    1. is return to invoice (does exactly as is says, put you in the same position as when you bought the car.)
    2. will pay off the finance in the event of you been in negative equity.

    What sort of riding do you want?

    Based in Chippenham, there is easy access to a lot of different places. As llama has said, heading off to the west can take in countless villages, bloody big hills, loads of bridleways, plenty of cheeky trails. Within half an hour riding you can be in Box woods, (small but varied) or heading off to Sally in the Woods and all the other Bath trails.

    If distance is more your thing then the No. 4 cyclepath heads off from Chippenham, west towards Calne then onto Avebury from there you are out onto the Marlborough downs. Heading out from Calne in another direction and you will take in Cherhill, Roundway hill. The Ridgeway is also quite easy to get to, along with Wansdyke.

    Been riding this area for 3 years now and still finding new places to go.

    The trail centres in South Wales are easy to get to from here too, plus there is all the Trails around Ashton Court, Leigh Woods in Bristol.

    I’ve seen it on the news a few times – very moving & dignified

    Wasn’t their some sort of attempt to have a local road renamed ‘Heroes road’ or something like that?

    They want to rename the road between Lyneham and Bassett ‘Road Of Heroes’

    I drove through one morning before a Funeral, quite moving to see them all there.

    Have you blanked out the reg plate on the photos? If you haven’t they will already have enough details to get a HPI done, this will then give them all the details for the car.

    Sounds a little dubious, but I would want to see everything before commiting to buy.

    Flexifoil Forum[/url]

    Have a chat on the forum, go and meet with a club. Most of the club members will be happy to let you try different equipment (as long as you can fly a 4 line kite).

    When you want to buy something, much the same as on here, look to there forums first.

    Try the other smaller clubs. SWATK[/url] was the site and club I used to use all the time until I did my back in and came back to Mountainbikes.

    It was a road FFS. I braked and tried to avoid but had no time!!!! Good job I wasn’t a car. They are probably the same people who put logs and such across our favourite trails. I’m not trying to give us a bad name, if I was on an FP I would expect to be riding with a bit more caution and be ready to stop. I just wasn’t ready for her movement. I didn’t see it coming, Perhaps it will make me more aware in the future…

    Because I had loads of time to get out of the way didn’t I???
    What I didn’t say was she was probably only a couple of metres in front of me when she took a deliberate step to her right to try and force me over…..

    Had a similar incident yesterday, only difference been I was on a road between trails. We were riding side by side on a single track road, my friend on the left and I was sort of in the middle of the road. Two walkers coming towards me, when the one closest to me deliberately moved into the centre of the road, full eye contact made. She let out a hell of a scream when she collected my right elbow somewhere aroungd her right t1t……

    Wrong. There is no limit for white vans

    Again incorrect, all white vans are limited to the speed of the car infront, at which they are flashing their headlights!!!
