    Replace your stock reflector with one that you can use as an additional brake light, they work good

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Yep more anti biking bullsh1t from the RSA
    As with almost every xmas gift motorised or otherwise the user must be aware of the dangers and take the appropriate precautions.

    I can't find quads or scramblers on the list of the 10 most dangerous toys of 2017

    Not anti biking IMO, if you're thinking of a bike or quad as a toy you're asking for trouble.

    No idea why it's on a biking thread as we DO know better

    People have sports car's, motorcycles and quads as toys, it's not the toy's fault :D
    Why don't the RSA have warnings for skateboards, pedal carts and bmx bikes ? all of which I've seen kids have serious accidents on public roads ?

    There's no substitute for stupidity and common sense ain't all that common ;)

    I would imagine this is aimed at the dubs who will get them for christmas and bate around their estates on them.

    Best part of moving down the country was the trails which admittedly I rarely use anymore. New years resolution. More off roading.

    That helmet is beautiful fair play. Ive lusted after one of those for ages but just couldn't bring myself to part with that much cash!

    I booked a couple of places in the Ron Haslam Race School for next year for myself and the brother. That's my Xmas and birthday presents sorted! Really looking forward to it
