In windy weather we get a vibration noise that comes from the plastic guttering. The wind must channel down the guettering dependant on direction and it makes a flutter/ vibration noise.

Were you not on a test drive with owners consent :wink: then you might have been covered.

Would it be better to develop lights that are capable of picking up all approaching road users and if no other traffic around defaulted to green? Or even more part time signals for when it is busy?

Elf you stopped because that is the rule and you know right from wrong. Did it upset your journey? The only effect this time was the one it had on you. Well done.

8 years you say thats not retro the 2 in the pic are retro the pine mountain is in use at the moment and the owned since new 1988 Saracen tufftrax (recommended to me by Brant Richards) just needs a new crank and was in use uptill last year.

TJ not a problem, just because it is easier doesn’t justify it neither does better, being round traffic comes with the territory. Safer, I can see your reasoning but without actually riding the junction a few times I cannot honestly comment whether it is or not. Some peoples actions impact on cyclists as a whole just like responsible MTBers get upset when likened to the less responsible ones.

I have looked at your link and I can see what you are saying. Could it be that you feel a little anxious/nervous when trying to manouvre in and around traffic and as so compensate by jumping the lights? Looking at the junction I would take up a slightly wider than normal road position when setting off or possibly signal to indcate moving over this would give a clear indication to other road users of your intentions. As for the IR signals have you tried speaking to the highways department or is there the oportunity to walk round the junction?

In my opinion jumping a red light makes other road users think cyclists are unpredicable. This in turn puts cyclists in a bad light, and the other road users try to overtake and get out of the way as quickly as possible because they feel safer not driving next to an unpredictable cyclist. If we could try to avoid flaunting the law instead of thinking it doesnt matter for ME im sure this would help. People on hear don’t like it when cars enter or park in a cycle lane, maybe the driver is taking the same view as the red light jumpers “I deemed it safe to be there”

The windings are usually quite hefty, prosibly faulty regulator.not caused by flat battery as not enough voltage wont excite it and regulator should control things. The other possibility is a breakdown of the insulation and short circuit between windings you talked about driving through a puddle water electrics dont mix esp with pos poor insulation.

I have some clear liquid given to me by a Romanian truck driver for repairing his wagon it had to go in a hip flask cos the plastic water bottle it was in went a funny shape.

Make sure earth strap from engine to chassis is good had one a bit ago with same symptoms. You have checked to make sure the belt is still on?

Completed thanks for the heads up may see some of you round sometime.

International Jewel Thief. But when thats slack I convert vehicles into Jiffy Trucks and now campervans. Can be interesting now and again. But for the main it’s putting beans in the tin day in day out.

I thought it also meant that if you manufacture a product consistantly it could have a CE mark whether that product be consistantly crap or not. Not a Quality mark was my understanding

I’ll pop in to the second hand market on Thackley old road tomorrow and a few times next week for you.

Getting a full weekend with my wife and kids as opposed to the 1/2 day last weekend and making the most of it by visiting Studley Royal tomorrow then Otley farmers market sunday and then a walk through Danefield woods.

The title got me. We use the term regularly at work much to the amusement of our younger collegues.

Im still firing full fat for now but a friend had it done twice cos it didn’t work first time and another spent 18 months **** until he got the all clear. Other than that the others I know seem it have had no ill effects.

Rib (scopema) do some single folding seats that utilise the driver and pasenger seat but they don’t look very comfy as they have lots of seams and knee bolsters to contend with.

Again a break down of on and off road would be helpfull.

Give tim @ GTcampers a call he did one last year for a friend sounds exactly what you describe.

I like the “it’s an animal not a person line”. As if it isn’t human it doesn’t matter. Think of the emotions that would run through you if I was to nick your bike. It’s just an object.

My daughter (13) came back from seeing Rihanna on sunday with an ear trauna because it was too loud for her. She has sensitive hearing even in the car she complains if the stereo is too loud and she “can’t have my ipod as loud as my friends” A lesson learnt for next time may be some ear plugs for her.

FBK, thank goodness someone else is on the same hymn sheet

oliver, the guy who found our cat did right, I was stating what I would do if I found an animal without a collar.

Your comment of ” you should always try” Do you have the skills to identify if the animal has or has not a chance of survival? I know in some cases it would be obvious. If you cannot dispatch the animal quickly and humanely don’t try you may prolong or even make the situation worse by increasing the suffering.

If you can’t, you can’t but you should always try. I’ll remember that if I ever meet you.

Didn’t realise so many vets frequented this site? Everyone’s an expert on how terminal the animals injury is.

We lost one of our cats a year ago, a guy round the corner found him in the gutter dead and couldn’t leave him so took him home and wrapped him up and rang us as he had a collar on. If I had been in the situation I would take it to the vets and see if it had a chip so the owners could be contacted.

Happy days.

google thinks I meant to spell paulo nuttini?

Try Andy a shipley mot centre on Brigate. Or alternatively Adrian at M F Taylors on Thackley old road. Both resonable and wont rip you off.

The virgin sturgeon is so urging thats why caviar is my dish.

CSW just a No5 with pointy end. Mrs Sturmey thinks a locking version would be a good idea sooner rather than later.

All the best think positive.

That the STW massive think my parenting skills are ok even if the rest arent sure. Cheers. :D

No asked the guy next to him what was on the end of his line and he shouted to me very excitedly ” I’ve caught a bollock”

My son shouted at me once he had caught a bollock

Thought it was a pillock, sprat is a small fish

If ever he gets into trouble and has to be told off even for minor things he feels his world has caved in and is very upset with himself. So I’m confident he won’t be daft with it and hasn’t. It sits on a shelf in his bedroom and he always asks us before he shows it to a friend or wants to use it. I guess the title could have said ” is it still ok?”
