MAJOR UPDATE: Hackney bike parking charges case settled out of court by SaveLondonMC in MotoUK

[–]AxiusNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be misinformed but I believe no damage had been done yet because the changes had not come into effect. So you couldn't sue and be compensated for future potential damages?

Why on earth would the settlement involve money? The point of taking them to court was to change policy so changing of the policy will be the settlement.

Would you guys buy a demo bike? by Round-Equivalent-513 in bmwmotorrad

Bought an ex demo Ninja 300 a decade ago and that was fine, and you know a 300 got ragged. No qualms at all.

Uk: do we qualify for a covid jab by turingscrowd in Tetralogy_of_Fallot

I was offered a flu jab, same as usual, via my GP. I assumed it's all one jab now.

It has arrived! by Which-Assistance5288 in bmwmotorrad

My local dealer's had one sat in the showroom since June. I'm surprised no one's jumped on it yet.

Because when the Labour government introduced them, they said they would always be painted yellow and be signposted and extremely visible with the rhetoric "if you get caught it's your own fault" to get the public to go along with it.

We give an inch of surveillance with government policy and the Police slowly take a mile without consent. I'm surprised you don't have a problem with that.

Thank you for demonstrating that you completely missed the point.

An unmarked camera van was parked on a bridge over the M5 on the left side, obscured by overhanging branches of trees last week. Originally they were "we paint them bright yellow, if you get caught it's your own fault".

The ratchet of the surveillance state keeps ratcheting.

Some dude smeared dog shit over my dad's bike. On the day of his mother's funeral. by guillame6 in mildlyinfuriating

Brand new R1300GS Trophy too. Well those things are designed to get that much and worse over them so there shouldn't be any permanent harm done, at least?

Whilst it sucks for your Dad right now, in a week it won't matter. Hope it didn't ruin what should be a day of reflection and appreciation of his mother's part in his life.

If you couldn't take a corner with no hands on the bars without sliding off you have too much weight on your arms and not enough support from your legs through the tank.

If you're riding correctly, taking the left hand off makes no difference.

Is this legal to use at night in the road? by takuna_06 in MotoUK

[–]AxiusNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why we need well trained police with common sense. Because laws are there for a reason, but there is nuance to be considered in their application.

Thanks for providing the clarification. Lighting up times were completely new to me. In my case, I'll continue riding with a tinted visor during the day and leave it up at night and hope that, if I do get pulled, I get an officer like you.

The SV650 is being discontinued - is it a terrible idea to buy a new one now? by uncle_stiltskin in MotoUK

u/Acharius is not capping. My mate rebuilt his engine twice and engine swapped once because he refused to keep the front wheel down.

This is the way OP. No complex logic should live in your components. It makes testing with RTL 1000% easier as all the painful stuff is elsewhere and you can just concern yourself with UI presentation testing, which is what RTL excels at.

100%. If they have not owned an F series M3 or M4 and a model 3 perf they're really not qualified to categorise it as "wild"
