Ermmmm, probably best not to mention that to too many people!

71 mph is above the limit but within the law as I believe we are aloud 10% plus 1 mph.

Tell it to the judge!

It doesn't help at all but that was funny!

Have you tried CapriGear, even if he doesn't have one he may be able to offer some help/advice.

If it's good enough for Bear Grylls....

Andrew.

Sounds decidedly dodgy!

I can only imagine, I get withdrawal symptoms if it's only been a couple of weeks!

Cool looking bike Paul. Wasn't it great to just get out there on your bike, nowhere to go but just ride for the fun of it.

Ignore them, and see for yourself I would say. I'd wager you'd have no issues, like me and many others. Good luck with your progress, bet you can't wait to get driving.

I was keeping up with the cars so probably 40 ish. It was a Puch Pursuit racing bike. Do Puch still make Bikes ?

40mph on a bike, frightening! Good times though I bet, such fun.

Just standard for me, honestly don't have an issue at all.

Excellent Mags Kids round our way used to improvise with various things in the spokes, to make as much noise as possible.

That's so true Nick, absolutely bob on. The thing is, no matter how much they sting us for, we just put up with it. They know people won't ditch cars.

I didn't realise you could do that with a dynamo?! You must have been travelling at some speed.

Hehe of course Such a terrific idea I always thought, free lights, no messing around or buying batteries, at a time before LED obviously.

There must be a lot of people who don't know what this is.

I had issues with mine whereas the car would randomly cut out. I would have to disconnect it and reconnect for it to restart. Put the original back on and all ok. Used to be someone on here called Jim, he had issues with them too, as do others as I've discovered. And now you too!

Goodness me is that how much it is. They must be raking it in.

It was! Good to know Paul thanks - is there a decent one you'd recommend? I have a Lucas at the moment but the negative connection is rubbish for the condenser I can't really recommend one, but I had loads of issues with a brand new Intermotor one, and as I researched it I discovered that others ha...

When i can register her historic later this year I'm sure i will not have to pay ULEZ as will be exempt but this will probably change.!! Thanks for your reply Nick, fair enough :) As regards to the above though, I really wouldn't be too sure of that, I have heard rumblings that it may change, as yo...

Bleedin Hell chaps you're taking as though you actually live under Khans spell. Spare a thought for me. :wave: :lol: Trouble is Nick, it's spreading. There are ULEZ notices all around where I live, including just a few yards away, drive a few yards from your home and pay for the privilege. Recently...

Dumpy's Rusty Nuts, that's a blast from the past, brill. And great story there Andy.
