    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's assuming there is an EU27 a few years post Brexit. Sure isn't guaranteed. One of EU's big worries is others following suit. No matter what happens post Brexit... There will always be an England... and Italy... etc etc. EU is another matter. UK is fighting to leave EU, E U is fighting for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course not. It's negotiating best deal. They are playing poker. All of them. Both sides must give impression they are willing to go to wall before giving in to others demands. Hence our planning for no deal. Come on OG, you must have negotiated at some time.

    I was on GT Timberline, then a Proflex. I, d guess around 93 ?? Might have been later. Once had a short on burglar alarm battery, wires glowing orange in dark, set paint on fire on Timberline. Rode back to Ringinglow in pitch black. There were more signs than now requesting mtb absence. Don't...

    Come on OG he has a point. The EU are putting principles (experimental ones at that) before their own, and our, fiscal welfare.

    Fair point but both comments taken somewhat out of context. The night rides were about 25 years ago...And don't think there is much chance of going break neck speed or crashing into walkers at 2am in middle of moors. I used the dongle for a week and removed it. (As explained) The morning ride...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The worrying aspect about Corbyn is not to do with his opinions about Jews or whether he is racist or not. The bloke plainly is neither a racist or anti semitic in its accepted meaning. His issue, and he does it over others, is the very fact he, s embroiled in all this lunacy. Its always been...

    I like night rides in Peak District. Go on as many prohibited paths as possible... Don't tell anybody tho. Bit spooky at times. Modern lights are so good but make everything out their beam look black as ink... Used to use a car reversing lamp, minus lens plus burglar alarm battery... More a good...

    What's spec of your bike SW? At one point thought you were off to church... Perhaps not.

    Kangaroo burgers for me then. We could even bring in Crocodile sausages from Vietnam. Snap crackle and pop takes on a whole new meaning. Dont knock it till you, ve tried it OG.. What about snake and pigmy pie ? Old ones are the best... But more chewy.. Let's just hope it's organised for next...

    Peak District has same signs. It can and does however lead to more confusion. I always keep to left of larger tracks as do most other track users, except those who have read the sign. They walk down middle oblivious with attitude of I, m not moving to either side. Which I suppose is one meaning...

    Agreed fair point. Probably it takes an Ebiker/pedelecer to know difference. In States they had this very argument and came down against emtbs on many tracks. For a while Ebikes were banned in NY,ban lifted recently but not on mountain bike tracks and they have thousands of miles more tracks...

    I don't do the road bit, go up behind road to Lockerbrook Farm. The road is not the issue. The problem is the tracks and not even the single track ones. The mixed use ones around Lady B this year have caused head aches for wardens. In places 10 mph speed limit signs appeared but were taken...

    That's exactly the problem SW. Plod won't or even can't differtiate , hasnt got time to go waiting around corners at Lady Bower or wherever. They will simply put up a sign. No Ebikes, pedelecs or anything like them. They can do that and I, m telling you it will happen. I don't understand...

    I posed the question , the clue was in the question marks in the title. My only point is we should be careful to safeguard our privileged position, re using pedelecs in Peak District etc etc. That right could easily be removed as it already has in parts of USA. Yes, Il De Re might be...

    A lot of years ago I used to drive boat for Wake board competitions. The normal procedure was to put 500kg fat sack of water in back of boat and then load the thing up with youths as mobile ballast ..to give required big wake. I turned up late for an event and said youths had got boat ready...
