Very kind comment Flecc. It is true that I have been known as relentless in my search for justice over many issues in 70 years but in this case I got strength from the support from you and many others on this excellent forum. Knowing that we were not alone regarding this...

Well it is true I have had Raleigh in various forms since 1959 but I would be the first to admit that they wouldn't be flavour of the month these days. However with an auto engineering background I have had a look and I can see nothing at all wrong with this Motus, regarding welding or fixtures...

I suspect I will get slated for this but my experience for what it is worth is that my "less than able" sister in law did a bit of local searching for less than two weeks and came up with what appears to be an excellent Raleigh Motus off the shelf in a local company who had just taken delivery...

Been using this method for most of my 70 years on many transactions. IMO a sledgehammer rarely works, subtlety has worked though. Get the deal sorted hopefully to your satisfaction and only then do the shredding. (In my first life, 32 years man and boy in auto engineering dealing with lethargic...

If we are not already listed, we are in Lisburn Northern Ireland UK having just returned from a 32 mile adventure to the Titanic Quarter, one of our favourite routes.

Hi Sam, we are in Lisburn and are in and out of Hanna's from time to time so will make some enquiries with him. Keep us updated with your plans.

Excellent post young man. Informative and detailed as always. Look after yourself Flecc. Thanks from Anne and me for all your help and support with our nightmare.

Anyone?

Hi Guys In the light of the recommendations on insurance requirements from Dept of Infrastructure here after their decision to make ebikes legal as in the rest of the UK and Europe can I ask what cover you folk have (Personal and public liability as well as theft). Are there any companies you...

I'm sure this is familiar to many out there. Saw it when we lived in England. Just found the photo again.

Hi Gazwald Sorry for the delay but I have done a bit of research and although it maybe of no use to you – or you already are familiar – or it could be too expensive. Either way the trike in question was originally bought by a local man about five years ago from a company called Ross Cycles in...

New chains fitted. General bout of fettling and we are out again. 33 mile round trip via the towpath and the Titanic Quarter. Splendid. Gazwald, give me a bit of time as I have some info which might or might not help you.

My wife when shopping has seen an electric trike in Lisburn some time ago but she didn't have the interest in examining it. She would have not been able to ascertain if it was a kit or a "production" unit. As I am now back out again I will keep a look out for it and as I will be on my ebike I...

Ah there you are young man. Well now not only can you cycle past the police station each day but you can wave at them as well. In a nice way of course.

At this momentous point I would like to say that the moral encouragement came from you guys but the political pressure came primarily from a certain Ms Rachel Woods MLA from the Green Party. She is the person who I often referred to in previous posts as my “trusted MLA”. We have been in...

Can I say many thanks to all our friends out there in Normal Land who gave us support, advice and encouragement throughout this ludicrous nightmare. Take care always and everywhere to be ultra safe. Ted.

Indeed but as we know there is a lot of hot air circulating around the Hill and until I see the ebike regulations here to be exactly the same as the rest of the UK and Europe I will always remain suspicious. From all the Inbox load of replies I have received in the last three years of...

Many thanks Gazwald I have just had a mail from my trusted MLA who is hoping to be allowed to speak tomorrow on the subject of e-bikes in N.I. She sounds very confident but Mr Suspicious feels that there will have to be something annoying introduced to justify the three year delay. If it indeed...

From what I can see in the "proposals" there are a few things which will need some clarification - for me anyhow. I have read this before in a previous post and the "information plate" (for want of a better word) attachment plan may / will make us different to the rest of Europe and UK. Someone...
