    Limits on rural roads to be cut

    WHICH THEY ARE ALLOWED TO DO! we all pay road tax, we all have licences to drive. Volvo driver mit caravan can drive at a speed suitible to their vehicle and conditions. LGV's have different speed limits for NSL roads but you don't seem to be picking on them. The big issue would seem...

    Limits on rural roads to be cut

    Wow there are some childish attitudes here! Put simply, drive at a speed in which you can safely stop in the distance you can see. As a biker this means rolling back the throttle as you approach a corner, looking for clues to where the roads going and looking for obsticles. If there was a...

    A word of warning!

    We'd sooner not, always go for the overtake if possible. People aren't used to cars passing them on the left but generally people don't know what to do when you come at them on B&T's anyway. If the traffic is static or slow moving then filter between parting traffic but if its flowing, cycle...

    A word of warning!

    blah blah illegal, blah blah stupid. Glad you came out of it with only a dented pride. Pull back into lane one and sit at 10 to 20 degrees (shallow) to them so that your not in their blind spot, you've got braking distance should you need it and when they realise you're there you can swap...

    Tan Hill, Sometime?

    We just do it for the stupidly steep hill coming from the south. It's a 1st gear job in a 2cv and in snow it can be soooo much fun. Can be a killer as it's something like 60miles from Leeds.

    Tan Hill, Sometime?

    That place gets stupidly busy and the car clubs book it up yonks in advance. Would be simple enough to meet up there tho. Make sure you don't crash with a rival club or something. I know the mini club go up and there's a big biker thing going on. 2cvgb have already had ours this year...

    VERY angry driver and passenger try to beat me up!

    He's a muppet then. Pick up the phone and call it in. NOT to 999 unless it's happening at the time, but to your forces local non-emergency number, that way it's logged onto the system and if other similar incidents come in it'll get passed to an intelligence team. Police out and about aren't...

    what can be done with an auto

    It's a shame it's a K11 Auto, the three-speed K10 Auto's were like pocket rockets, you just had to know how to handle them and you'd always be in the right gear for a bit of fun. I don't think much can be done to the e-CVT of the k11.

    Should be a laugh. We had a couple of B Roadsters when I was younger. I can't see the pics at the minute (at work) but has it been resprayed? it doesn't seem quite as glossy as it should be. Just don't get any smart ideas like dropping a Metro Turbo engine in it or anything daft like that.
