  1. Such a shame to be missing out on this but I've looked at the route and it's two hours for me to even get to the breakfast meet up point (four hours onto the day before the fun even starts). Have a great time and I really do hope to make one next year.

    Where do you draw that line though?

     

    A pedestrian can could damage your car and stroll off without being identified or have no insurance and you'd have to pay out for repairs yourself.

    The only answer is to register all humans... no, wait, all sentient creatures and make them display identification at all times.

     

    Or, you know, just avoid creating situations where someone/thing else would want to damage your property....


    Don’t get me wrong, not a fan of Digital ID by any stretch of the imagination. Nor of insurance to be honest, but it would be nice if all road users played by the same rules. 
     

    Avoid creating such situations you say… by keeping cyclists off the roads…? 🤨 If this country is serious about cycling they should look at the Netherlands, cycling there is a pleasure. 

  3. I signed a petition to parliament requiring cyclists to pay tax and have insurance for the benefit of other road users. Not sure if it got anywhere.
     

    I do feel quite uncomfortable that a cyclist could damage your car and pedal off without being identified or have no insurance and you’d have to pay out for repairs yourself.

    You would think they would want to move over to allow cars to pass for their own safety.


    Exactly this. Unfortunately I feel that the changes to the Highway Code have emboldened them further. Hopefully it will be reviewed when the roads are littered with more dead or injured cyclists. 

  5. I think Brembo are quite funny about putting their names on callipers once they’ve been taken apart by a third party so perhaps that’s why. 
     

    Good luck with the fix 👍

    Hey mate, things are good at my end, still saving my pennies, has the gearbox made a difference?


    It’s a nice direct shift but I’ve gotten used to it now. I think the diff bushings made a bigger difference. Looking at taking care of the paint/bodywork when I have time off in March.
