Rider was wearing the usual black garb with just a yellow sash rather than full jacket. Usual white h...

Re: Police and Partnership camera vans

Out on the embankment in Plymouth again yesterday.

The old silver "Safety Camera Partnership" vans seem to have gone - only seem to see "Police" badged Transits these days.

Re: Is this the truth at last?

dobwalls ? my first thought was notter bridge to landrake ? You may be right - but I'm sure that is/was the section of road at the end of the dual carriageway on the Liskeard Bypass (westbound) towards Dobwalls - just after the small industrial estate on the left. They used to do that for the last ...

Re: Dyno removed

Inept dealers - gotta luv em - NOT!

Just a word of warning for anyone who had the Suzuki K5/K6 1000 Frame Brace recall done by a certain Devon and Cornwall dealer! Mine was done by them some time ago, and nothing thought further about it. However, whilst in heavy traffic on Thursday, the Coolant Overheat/Low Oil Px Light came on. Pani...
