I don't think that armour is entirely compliant.

Maybe they have some steep hills to climb. Another thing - they may have some heavy cops riding them. Heavy rider - steep hills - you need that little motor to operate at suitable revolutions, and the gears on the bike allow that with a crank motor.

You amaze me.... He fired six or seven shots. One of the bullets passed through his ear three inches from the centre of his brain. Others hit several other people. Funny way to try and ensure his re-election. The idea you suggest is ridiculous. Trump is lucky to be alive and he knows it.

He's a loner nutter. What more to the story can there be? The profile fits almost all of the US mass shooting sprees and has done for ever and a day. Narcissistic, sad, socially inept loons do this all the time.

Got out my allen keys and removed my throttle this morning. Don't need it. Don't want it.

I uninstalled my throttle again last week. I could not get it to work powerfully enough up to 6kph for it to be of any use in making a quick start anyway. It was pretty feeble even though the settings allowed the bike to use up to 15 amps. I think the soft start parameter limited it for so...

And in this case, that difference allowed the sniper who ultimately shot Crooks to be unaware of the threat long enough for the loser to get off six or seven shots, to wound Trump, kill a bystander, and critically injure two other people. The handing over of part of the critical area to local...

It's 'elf and safety' - too dangerous to put a man on the sloped roof. I just heard the female head of the secret service say so on the Today Programme. The quote is in that link above. No conspiracy theory needed. EVERYBODY knows that Presidents in America get shot at. There have been plenty...

My BBS01 never gets even warm on climbing three and four hundred foot ascents with as steep as 20% gradients. I'm riding hills like this every other day in summer and rising to 800 and 900 feet above sea level. I am not that heavy - just under 12 and a half stones (174 pounds) and I do put a...

Kimberly Cheatle, Head of the US Secret Service said today when asked why no secret service were on the roof that Crooks used to shoot at Trump, "That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point, and so, you know, there is a safety factor considered there, that we would not...

As for Shangri-La, I've been there and these days it is not all it's cracked up to be . Too many Irish bars and roughians. I prefer the Auvergne myself.

I thought he'd already done the 'enlightenment' thing.

Where will you be going touring and when? Exciting reports expected.

Strange that the USA has something in common with places like Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.... Lunatics trying to murder political figures and killing and maiming ordinary people in the process.

I was puzzled about how the policemen managed to convert CO2 into methane and I found this on Google: I am not sure how they could manage to create temperatures of 300 to 400C, except that since it was a curry house they may have had a very hot vindaloo. Where they got the hydrogen, I have no...

If you watch that footage of the shooting carefully, and turn your sound right up, you can hear a voice when Trump is hit. I listened to it carefully several times. I am sure it said. "Donald - Duck!" And he did. My only excuse for this piece of execrable bad taste is to say if you don't...

We can NEVER move to other planets, though we have discovered many thousands outside our solar system. Anyone who thinks we can transport ourselves to extra solar planets has no idea how far they are. Even the nearest star system to the sun would take almost the whole time Homo Sapiens has...

The front rim on my partner's Pendleton has worn a bit and the surface is pretty rough and noisy under braking. I was messing about with the brake blocks yesterday trying to silence the front brake. There were particles of aluminium embedded in the rubber friction material and my efforts to...

This is true. It is perhaps something built into the core of our nature. We come after all from a creature that wandered all across the planet, constantly searching for somewhere better to live - for a while - and then move on. Quite amazing that 48 to 50 thousand years ago, modern humans from...

I reckon the ideal place for me would be a house on a hill top or in a big forest, so that there are no neighbours at all within perhaps a kilometre. That would suit me perfectly. Crazy or inconsiderate neighbours are a curse.
