Re: Fat pcso with a gun near leigh

With regards to weight. The Plod are thinking of tightening up on fitness. They are thinking of reducing their wages if their fitness does not meet a yearly fitness level.

I agree, but don't forget with so many people out of work these days, if workers don't comply, the co...

Re: Insurance for modified bike

Man, sorry to hear that and I sympathize as I have a bar in my leg amongst other problems. I know how it feels! But on the bright side, I'm back out riding again. Time is the healer for body and spirit :thumbup:

Apologies everyone, Don't want to get of topic anymore.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

That's something I will have to take into consideration when fitting, may use some washers to pack out a couple of mm. I noticed even the standard rubber grip when but up tight against the brake lever body gives me a sticky throttle. I have just given it a little tug away in the past which solves it...

Re: Petrol

Apologies for the out of order language. That's fine with me. Don't re-call you using any foul language though. And as for the rest of us, including myself. We don't use any either, as it's left for one to fill in the blanks. :lol: The cost of filling it in Dubai would have been £8. In Saudi he ha...

Insurance is a bit like betting, b...
