  1. Bloke at work has this one. http://www.trackersecurity.co.uk/buy.html Seems slightly more expensive to run than the datatool, but I like the rechargable battery option (lasts 18-24 months i think) on the proactive so it won't run down your bikes one.
  2. A chap at work had his last bike stolen and fitted a tacker to his new bike. Guess what.... yep stolen, but recovered pretty quickly (same day). I'll find out what make he went for, although from looking into it earlier today Datatool subscriptions seem fairly reasonable.
  3. Definitely this, also I'd suggest the A702 Carronbridge to Elvenfoot as an alternative to the A74M or B7076
  4. So your instructor on that CBT is an idiot, they should have explained what to do, how it works and taken their time with you. If you want lessons on the road, you have to do the cbt. I remember from mine it was a 1 day thing with an optional 2nd day (included) if it was taking you longer to learn. Hopefully someone in your area can suggest a good school for you to learn with who will do the job properly. Good luck.
  5. This one may or may not be cheating: It was taken when we'd ridden the bikes down to Gwithian in Cornwall and is just near where we stayed. I can't remember if we'd been out on the bikes the day this photo was taken or not though. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8312/8000744834_7db1b53fd2_c.jpg
  6. Where is the option for stupid? Like most road users I don't think they do it deliberately, but as the road users (not pavement users) who require least training I think bad decisions and perceived invincibility shouldn't be a surprise.
  7. Seriously? It's the 'older ,ore experienced drivers' who do many of the more stupid things i see regularly, including inappropriate speed. The current 6 points and your out for new drivers already gives a form of your 'advisory limits' and doesn't work. IMO limits are too high in urban areas (well not actually too high, but if they were e.g. 20 then people might actually drive at 30) and too low on motorways and nationals (where the limit really does have no relationship to what is safe)
  8. If you own something for more than a year you don't have to pay tax on it, so that's most likely what happened. I'd see if you can get the cheap stuff shipped in lots of less than £20 which is IIRC the limit on 'free' imports and the expensive stuff in as big a group as possible to avoid Royal Mail's money for nothing charge. As others have said it's totally down to luck. I've had things of similar value coming in with and with out charges for no good reason.
  9. I usually zip together, but it'd be pretty easy to get on zip changed so they match if you need to.
  10. More to the point, a dog that's been badly treated and/or put in a situation where it is scared and knows no better is put down when it should be the moronic owner who didn't handle the situation.
  11. We were pretty tempted by the ghost, but the 240fps on the gopro sold it for us this time round.
  12. Convictions are spent after 5 years. I thought this was interesting regarding drink driving (shows on license for 11 years, but not needing to be declared after 5): http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/p ... ctions.htm
