Considering just how many rules and regulations we have here in the UK, and in India they seem to have none - but not one single crash.

Now I would organise a ride and to go to a cafe for a bacon roll but I always pick days with rubbish weather and I am not good at route planing.
Also a Sunday is good for those that work mon to sat so it gives everybody a good chance to come out.
If you think it is a good idea and have some input as to cafe's and routes then pop them up here.]]> I was thinking that maybe a East Sussex ride could be thought out as it is in the middle of West Sussex and Kent.

An unmarked Police Car was following 2 Moped riders. They were only doing around 30mph, but were riding 2 abreast, and did spend a lot of time looking at each other and talking.

I was not surprised when the Rozzer pulled them over. He was friendly towards them, and said he could do them for ‘undue care and attention’ but was more concerned about their safety, so gave them a friendly lecture.

During the lecture he told them that as they were doing 30mph, if they collided, their impact speed would have been 60mph – well that’s me educated!.

Would love to have been a ‘fly on the wall’ in the Nick, the day after the program was televised.]]>

When checking that I had the latest Firmware in my Netgear Router, I came across a site that was recommended, which, with your permission, probes your system to reports any weaknesses.

I can well imagine some ‘bad guys’ setting up a site which pretends to be helpful when it is only out to cause you trouble, but when I saw the web site’s name I remembered that I had used the site a few years ago without problem (using older equipment), and also ‘Googled’ it in case others had found problems.

Should anyone else want reassurance, it maybe worth your time trying…

and choosing the ‘SHIELDSUP!’ option on their ‘Services’ tab.

My passed all their tests, with the added reassurance of my Netgear Router sending me a warning email that a ‘Port Scan’ had taken place.

Just a thought.]]>

A lot of people moaned about it last year but I enjoyed it. I always come back with some little trinket for me or my bikes and as the tickets are a gift I'm really looking forward to it. If anyone's going we can maybe meet up for a coffee, but better bring your biggest wallet. Food and drink can be pricey there.

At the moment I have a VFR750FV and as much as I love it I have been thinking about a change.

I also have a 6r b1 Kwak that I've not ridden for nearly a year because it is so gutless compared to the viffer.

I am considering selling the pair of them for something that can be used for tear-arsing about AND commuting/ taking the mrs out at the weekend but am not sure what I would change it for.

My criteria would be:

Must be a minimum of 750ccs.

Must have a sensible seat height similar to vfr as I'm a bit of a shrimp.

Must be enough fun for sunny solo sorties, yet be comfy enough to cover distance with pillion.

I'd also prefer it to have a minimum 180 mile tank range.

I would pay 8k tops.

Does such a bike (that is not a VFR!) exist or have I answered my own question?

Any ideas gratefully received....]]>
