Out of date tax disk probably.  |

| I could be wrong here but I think Chill might also be a VD'er :wink: Maybe I am! Anyway, I've trotted off a letter last week asking why they are exclusively targetting bikes for, esentially, admin offences when they make up only 1% of the traffic in the county. I also asked was this unimaginative p... |

| At loss over this one! Cos seems a bit of a nonsense from way you describe it! :roll: Sure this is unbiased account? :wink: Pretty much verbatim, no plesantries exchanged and he went through a printed list of checks to make on the bike. But if the pull was pure safety issues (and have done those in... |

| No, I think you left as an annoyed biker, and quite rightly so. Just one point on your tax disc, is there any way you could carry the original, for instance, in your wallet, albeit, I totally agree with the photocopy, illegal though it may be. I got stopped on a VOSA check a few weeks back, polite,... |

| (A long time lurker and unsigned_forms group poster here) Anyway, I started a thread elsewhere about a complete sham of a safety inspection at the roadside today, but I'd like some input from here. Scenario is A31/A272 junction big police presence pulling in bikers for a safety inspection. I got pul... |

| As much as I hate cyclists, I have to take issue with a few points: And, of course, they do indeed pay NO tax. Well, they would pay council tax at exactly the same rate as the rest of us, which is what pays for the upkeep of local roads. I'm almost sure that the vast majority of cycling takes place ... |

| Sorry, should have made myself clearer. At any time you can go back and edit / delete a post. The problem is if someone else quotes you, then that is part of their message. I can still go back and delete the original, but I can't touch their quote. |

| It always brings a wry smile to my face when I hear cyclists bleating on about motorists flouting the law. I've lost count of the number of times I've witnessed a cyclist blow through a red light, or ride on the pavement. I've even been shouted at in London for having the audacity to walk on the pav... |

Whenever I have my tyres changed, I need to go to a tyre shop. It's almost impossible to break the bead on the edge of a modern tyre with hand tools. |
