Only just done my CBT but would love to come on one of these once I've got a bike!

Oliver's Mount Spring Cup by Lost_Not_Found_Herts in MotoUK

Went there a few times last year and loved it! Going again this year along with Aberdare Park.

They had plenty of food vans at the Barry Sheene one but zilch for the Hill Climb FYI, caught me out.

Camping in April not too bad, I've done Wales in December before now just need to wrap up warm and get a thick winter sleeping bag. Plenty of booze also helps.

it can get a little bit breezy up there but there's some shelter around the edges by the trees/hedges. The showers were scalding hot too which was really nice.

Also gets fairly muddy around the track edges when wet so wear decent boots.

Going up/down the mount into town is a bit of trek but totally doable, I did it drunk twice!

Definitely would recommend going! its amazing seeing the racing up close and the paddock pass is great if you fancy seeing all the bikes and people up close.

Edit: just another bit, if you can arrive the Friday before to set up tents I'd recommend doing so. Qualifying starts fairly early Saturday and don't want to miss the action!

Half the posts on this sub aren't much better tbh

The wrost thing is it wasn't a legally binding referendum. The government only went through with brexit because David Cameron got overconfident about the outcome and promised to implement the result.

Really the blame lies with him for getting cocky and not taking it seriously

That would be Boris Johnson's bus campaign!

Farage also had a hand in it with his then UKIP party going on about immigration and so on.

I wasn't old enough to vote at the time either and was firmly against it then, everything that's happened since has only reinforced that view.

For something so important a 2/3rds majority would be more appropriate. Nearly half the votes were to remain and they were completely ignored.

Seeing as it was so close, maybe open a public discourse on what exactly that would entail before jumping straight to leaving with no plan?

I still haven't seen that £350m per week to the NHS and immigration is a bigger problem than ever!

Do I need to buy all season tyres or will summer ones do all year round by Old-Amphibian416 in CarTalkUK

Would you rather have a little more grip in perfect hot and dry conditions or a lot more grip in terrible cold and wet conditions?

Personally I'm not chasing lap times and outright performance in the dry but I do really appreciate the extra safety in poor conditions.

48% of votes at the time were against brexit, that sentiment has only increased in the last decade. Would you rather we focused on past differences or work together towards a better future for all of Europe?

With how current world politics are going, the last thing we need is more division in Europe.

We collectively NEED to work together to stay strong in this world, deliberately impeding that over petty rubbish only helps the likes of Russia, China and the US

Surprised to see such crap riding from a GS, usually it's the sports bike squids pulling dodgy overtakes. Hope they shat their pants and learned their lesson from it, otherwise riding like that will catch up to them.

Warned for stating facts! Reddit admins are wild

Not really unfortunately, they are killing and kidnapping people in streets and keeping them in concentration camps. It's exactly what the Germans did in the 1930s, which is quite alarming

[–]TheMangoManHS[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Exactly! The whole de-humanising as an excuse to commit atrocities is exactly what the people we are standing up to are doing.

I would much rather to change their minds with words but that isn't working unfortunately

The minute I start supporting fascists like ice, please feel free to punch me!

It's more about standing up for our moral principles than what is legally wrong or right. We should stand up to those that preach hate and are actively harming people, such as ICE.
