... Actually Yamaha say the TMAX has a seat height of 795 mm and Honda says the Wing has one of 740mm. Making the Wing considerably lower and (as I recall)...
All interesting stuff, speeds on the M-way are usually for me about the legal limit by GPS IE 75/80 indicated off the M-ways around 55/60 but I tend to keep on...

I like the concept very much... and every time I see it.. too bad it never caught on, but I think you are right about the image thing.... Lots of attempts have...
While I note your concern about collecting points on the licence, personall, i'm more concerned about being "run down" by othe rtraffic, who have no concept of...
Hi Ralph I ride a Swing and when on the motorway i tend to stay at the speeds you mention, sticking between an indicated 75-90mph. At those speeds i get an...
It's surprising how the situation re speed enforcement is done round the country, round here we have very heavy enforcement Blackpool had I think 57 fixed and ...
... Ian is right about the seat height, Andy is talking through his own...'seat'. ... The fuel tank location, and particularly that fuel filler design, is one...
A combination of a newish Swing and increasing speed cameras meant that my previously clean licence was shot to pieces in about 2 years. Ian (and my wife) will...
Some interesting stuff in TAG/T&G this month (shock!). There's a new, almost certainly Chinese-built, TTW on the market. The 150cc MetroBike looks like a...
Andy Tribble <tribbikes@...> Tue, 2 Jan 2007 14:17:24 ... He pays attention? ;-) Seriously, I'm sure we've all been caught out when we didn't see an ...
It's true you can see the fixed cam's but the Mobile's are a bit more tricky, they sit up side turnings on a bend or in a car park against a wall, they can see...
My plans are coming to fruition for France 2007. To view the best free entertainment in the world (Tour de France) Sunday 8 July leave Doncaster early and camp...

... You must be lucky then... I've read a couple of tests on this stuff, which suggests it's all BS and doesn't help a bit (in Holland at least). Can't imagine...
It happened today!!!! I picked up my new 2007 T-Max. Already I think it is much smoother than my old Mk1. More observations to follow over the next weeks. Oh...
That's some of the songs I was playing on my mp3 while I was riding, so 4me it was appropriate to put it on my photostory. ... share ... San ... Santa...

I don't think the new cameras use flash - or at least I don't think I've seen a camera flash for a long time now that I think about it. I used to be able to...
