    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sorry, should probably back up my statement about project fear predictions coming true with another statement from today. This time from Ford's finance arm. http://news.sky.com/story/fords-giant-financing-arm-weighs-german-move-after-brexit-10793601 But yes, its going to be better for the UK...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I didn't say that those that didn't vote would have voted remain. I think its logical to assume that a lack of motivation to vote assumes a modicum of satisfaction with the status quo, but as you say we'll probably never know. But you can't say its 70% in favour of leaving. It isn't and if...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    See, you would think the job is now to convince the 70+% of the country that didn't vote for this, that it is a good idea. Not sit back, be smug and think you've done the job. Its not complete... complete is making a success of it!! Delivering on the promises made. If you / they can't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well it looks like we're starting to reach that point when / where the pro Brexit groups have started to argue with themselves, which is logical seen as how they can't win an argument / debate with anyone pro remain ;)...

    The dangers of buying on-line.

    you've just discovered the warning ;) There isn't enough fluid in the system to cope with moving the pads the increasing distance because they have worn out. So new pads will solve it, or topping up the fluid. Either job is a lot easier than riding to the bike shop.

    They are making less from us, and I suspect others, the reduction in the value of the £ means we're bringing less into the UK.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Back on with some facts.... More great news this morning, what were people saying about the EU collapsing again?? Germany and France are experiencing an economic resurgence, driving the eurozone to grow at its fastest pace in almost six years, while UK companies appear to have lost some pace...

    The dangers of buying on-line.

    As neither Shimano, Scott or Wheelies, I hope I can step in with an impartial response. If you had a faulty brake (a manufacturing fault ie warranty) its normally apparent immediately Shimano brakes are excellent and a completely sealed system, if you had a leak the brake would be totally...

    Really sorry to hear about this. I'm afraid we can't do a mail out to our dealers when bikes get stolen, its a sad state of affairs but it happens too often. Sorry. However we can suggest you contact all the local bike shops, not just the KTM dealers and let them know the details of your...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A great many real people will disagree with your assessment. I know 2 real examples. A bosnian refugee who came here when she was 3 to escape the war. She's been here 20 + years now, but she's well aware she is/was a refugee, and she's Muslim. But she's white and blonde, so no one gives her...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The intelligent, educated MPs who didn't want this to happen you mean? The vast majority of the Government, Parliament and Lords, all thought this was a bad idea.

    That's the problem right there... people thought / still think it is / was a simple question. It wasn't.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    your blind optimism really does know no bounds.... I'm intrigued, by it. I'm quite happy to admit that if Trump / Brexit turns out to be for the good of the US / UK, then I'll support it. I'll happily back down if I'm wrong. Is there anything that anyone could show you that would make you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Does this sound like a threat? From the current team in the US. A billionaire investor who said Brexit was “a God-given opportunity” to take trade from the UK has been confirmed as Donald Trump’s Commerce Secretary...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you do realise many if not most of those people selling on Amazon and Ebay, are UK small businesses..... don't you? And do you think leaving the EU is going to mean we leave Ebay and Amazon? You really are doing nothing for the case of showing that people who voted leave knew what they were doing.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ok, lets look at bike shops as an example. Even those who don't sell oversea's benefit in many ways. Big shops can afford buying teams, Wiggle for instance have a team of buyers based full time in the Far East. Being in the EU, allow UK bike shops to buy from suppliers across the continent...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    He's a UK small business that has benefited from the tender. So you're example is nonsense. But onto the wider point that small companies don't benefit from the EU membership. Well I'll give you 500 examples. FLI and all our customers benefit, in a shost of ways. I can't actually think of...

    But I think we've just proven that a small UK company did benefit.... just not yours.
