Call for motorbike speed limiters

I've had some rapid colonic movements after eating Cornish Pasties -
does that count?

Ever since I got my own boarding gear (about 10-11 years ago), I've been
waiting for the chance to snowboard on Dartmoor.

Still waiting.

 

Not going to happen though is it? Too many people to process, too much extra
work. Easier and cheaper to let a few hundred people die each year instead.

"16. The Minister told us that the premise behind the Government's
Motorcycling Strategy is to "mainstream" motorcycling. When questioned, this
appeared to mutate into a commitment to encourage motorcycling."

Right. So they've written something in management-speak, and they're not
doing so well when asked to explain what they mean. Honestly, I could bluff
my way as a junior minister at this sort of level without even blushing.

Well of course. However you're clever.

 

guig () gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying :

Only if you make all those fuckwits with current licences resit the harder
test, too.

(and, fwiw, I agree with you - the test *should* be significantly harder,
and people *should* have to resit it regularly)

 

Not that clever. I post here, don't I?

Do you ride a moped or something?

All 3 of my bikes do less MPG than the diesel Passat, and I suspect a
couple do less than the Porsche.

 

Well, as soon as I manage to sell my Honda CRX, I can proudly say that all
my bikes do use a lot less fuel than the cars.

Mind ewe, this *may* have to do more with the fuel consumption of slightly
warmed over rotary engines than my bikes being extremely fuel efficient.

 

I first started skiing in 1975 and people were whinging about the lack
of snow back then. "if you'd have come last week you could have skied
back to the village but the warm spell has melted all the snow" - they
told us. If we hadn't have been told that we'd have been quite happy
with what there was.

 

So when was Dartmoor moved to Cornwall?

My first season skiing was in Terminillo, only 100km from Rome 30 odd
years ago. When I arrived early Jan there was no snow at all (I was
working in Rieti).
At the end of that month it snowed, and we were still skiing, admittedly
in slush, at the beginning of May.
Hmmm, just like this year !

 

Very expansion-minded these Cornish. Before you know it London will be
in Cornall and we'll all be saluting the flag of St Pirran.

Only got a few years to go on, but comparing this season to last,
certainly anywhere below 1600M in the local area had a worse time of
it than last year, but up here at 2100 it's been almost identical week
on week. If anything, I'd say March has been consistently better this
year.

Who said that it had?
