Marvellous idea Boris, just so long as security of the machines is also considered . A relative has just had his £400 cycle pinched in Manchester , they cut the chain/lock . Boris is certainly ahead of the game .You land in your Airliner on Boris Island in the Thames Estuary , pass through...

Meteors based at Manston downed 14 V1`s by the end of the war .They were restricted from flying over Germany and German held territory, as they did not want to risk them being captured by the Germans or Russians, should they be brought down .

Do what the Aircraft Industry has always done for the first Test Flight , send up a chase plane . Have a cycle available to ride with or alongside , if they make a break for it do what the Meteor jets did in the war to the doodlebugs (V1 and V2 ) ,put your wing , read foot, under them to lose...

Dave you would end up on the local `Wanted `list wearing one of those .

I`ve been wearing my Aldi snowboarding helmet for a few months now . I can tell you it`s warmer , more comfortable and more substantial than my cycle helmet . To some untrained eyes you are on your Motorcycle and they might want to charge you for petrol when buying milk in a Petrol Station !

I want one of those Dave , but at £3,000 it`s a bit cheap and therefore can`t be much good ?

Interesting pictures John of Chinese built Honda 50/90 clones in Morocco . Riders of Yeovil have the nearest to that . They have 50cc and 110cc models which are very nicely finished and of course are Chinese . In the crate are £925 and fully built are £1250 OTR . The details and pictures are on...

A lot of it comes down to price for something that looks like a glorified pushbike . Motorcycles have been around a long time and if looked after will outlast cycles . My Suzuki X7 and Suzuki Roadie 50 are 31 years old and my modern Aprilia Leonardo 250 is a mere 10 years old . All have needed...

At the end of my 22 mile ride on my Batribike Folder this afternoon, I found a slight downside of these fancy Snowboard helmets .I called into a Co-op Petrol Station to buy 4 pints of milk and the Assistant asked me if I was paying for fuel . I had kept my helmet on as I was a bit cold with the...

Fordulike they are so last year . Didn`t you know that we are all on Lidl or Aldi Snowboard helmets now ? I bet even Lynda has got one by now . If you do get that Avanti you might be mistaken for a Lycra lout !

Hatti I hope you have ordered a few thousand of that model, as it`s sure to fly out of your warehouse . It would be fitting to rename it the WOOSH Eddieo in memory of a fallen Poster . I`m sure that he would love this model and take back everything he ever said about Chinese machines . I...

I bought my Wife a steam iron for her birthday one year, which everyone thought was hilarious . She had melted the carpet with the previous one . After I cleaned up the mess on the iron`s sole plate, she continued using it and in the end I gave the new one away . We eat off Portmeirion plates ...

That machine looks a mess Jeremy and the two-stroke engine would make you really popular with the neighbours . Much better to go for a nice Honda Vision 50 twist and go Scooter that will give you 150mpg , is enclosed in sleek bodywork and costs a reasonable £1650 .

That`s why it is essential to keep throttles , walk or run alongside and use the throttle .It worked very well with a Honda 50 in the 60`s for me and if I should ever get a puncture in the Batribike Folder , it would be my way of getting home . Of course I suppose I could always ` phone a friend ` .

One of two machines at this price point , the other is the Woosh Sant Ana . The Woosh replacement batteries are very reasonable and the Pro Rider people lose their credibility by claiming theirs is a £1500 Ebike . I suppose the support for their machines would be a plus point , if they are as...

Reminds me of something that happened in our street several years ago . I was cycling and on approaching home I noticed that a horse had deposited a large pile in the road . Knowing that horse manure was good for roses I quickly ran to get a shovel . There was too much for one shovel so I...

Another chance to get your head into one of those lovely Snowboard/Ski Helmets , Lidl have reduced them to £16.99 . Might come in handy ,as several weeks of nasty snowy weather is forecast . After using one for a few weeks I can say they are barely draughty at all, when compared with a normal...

I have had the Halfords Bike Hut Pannier Rack Bag on my Folder`s carrier for over 2 years . It is an excellent bag with loads of zipped pockets and a yellow waterproof cover which you can pull out and cover the bag . A good safety feature easily seen . It comes in grey and if you want to see it...

Lynda I had heard of these iPods , I am still on the 2nd Generation Mobile Phone , the one that can send and receive pictures . Mine doesn`t, because when I rang the nice man in India to register it , I couldn`t satisfy him that it was me , so I am on my original Sim card . It doesn`t matter...

Keep away from those fires Geebee . Shame those Canadian Waterbombers lying idle a few miles from here aren`t in Australia with you . Here`s a suggestion , have a word with Julia Gillard your Prime Minister and see if she can get things moving . She was born in Barry where I live , in fact about...
