Dip Stick
Dip stick measures where the surface of the oil is. Doh! Yes it does. Quite obvious when you think about it

Aeroscreens
Havn`t used a bike helmet yet, but i know that after maybe 1.5 hours motorway driving, or like in the picture.. 14 minutes in February. I would be happier with one. I personally think an aeroscreen adds excitement to the experience, though after a while I do get knackered. Originally I wanted to go for screens and side screens but now I wouldnt change it. This time of year (rain not included) Good sunglasses, and lightweight jacket under the seat is ample

Dip Stick
Sorry to answer a question with a question, but the topic is something Ive been thinking about. I have a shortened sump and was wondering if that would affect the ideal level for oil on the dipstick?

Radar
http://shop.instant-shop.com/Snooperdirect/product50186.html Does anybody have any experience of snoopers and if they are effective? As a safety measure obviously.

Hope It Snows
Ok so maybe there are`nt many bends, and the fire ants are a problem, But no litter, potholes or pedestrians really make up for it.

Newark Show
Not long got back from camping in East Berlin.... Yes!!! East Berlin..! it was an old soviet training and relaxation base in a big park in the city center. (http://www.tentstation.de) We used these pop up tents that are amazing if you cant be bothered with pitching. They really do take 2 seconds maybe 3 (that was the one we had) to put up and are double skinned and totally waterproof. Best camping gadget ever LINK http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/touring-tents-13801414/#

Hope It Snows
Eat like an American (when in Rome) Ponderosa restaurant... All you can eat breakfast for pennies. Sonnys BBQ Pit............ Unbelievable ribs and steaks. The Golden Coral......... Al you can eat full on American food, again pennies compared to here. These places litter FLA. Oh yeah and if you drive through a huge swamp in Paisley Ocala forest say howdy to my brother who thought it a good idea to buy an acre of swampland and live on it.

Legalities Of Drive Blocking
Some git over the road has 4 cars, he has recently purchased a big merc van which he parks in front of the dropped kerb of my garage/drive. I have asked him 4 times to move it and even got a do not park sign on my gate (after putting a dent in my rear wing trying to squeeze out) Anyway he was there again last night so before i declare an all out war I was wondering if what he is doing is illegal???

Stoneleigh The Show
After camping Sunday night to leave the show at 9am today to get to work, Jeez! the rain on the M69 nearly took the skin off my face cos of the aeroscreen (maybe full face helmets are in order for the rain)..... Found the RHOCAR register but couldnt find the camp area, so had to make do with a mixed field right at the back. But 1st run out to a show and had a brill time, cant wait to do some more.

Spare Wheel
Yes many years ago I was stuck 300 miles away on the coast in a Fiat X19 after a puncture and the spare was punctured too (just brought it and failed to check) anyway the large royal type of recovery company said on the phone they could not touch it if I hadnt looked after the spare. They sent a contractor to do a road side repair if possible, whereby he just lifted me up and said "get in, youve got two flat tyres and a flat spare havnt you?" Gotta hand it to some of these guys.

Spare Wheel

Notice Of Intended Prosecution !
NIP! Yes I got one a couple of weeks ago in Leicester, I could see the yellow cameras and white speed markers a few hundred yards away and thought mmmmm 30 mph limit. I was just over and so decided to touch my brakes well before the white markers and straight away another camera went off that works off 2 very thin hardly noticeable strips across the road (as i said earlier, well before the white speed markers). Anyway I got booked for 36mph, BUT, I have been given the option of paying £60 without the 3 points, as long as I attend a speed awareness course, so not so bad. Regarding speed control, I have heard that in Europe, (possibly parts of Spain) that when you get clocked by a speeding device it will change the very next set of traffic lights to red and make you wait. You dont get penalised apart from a) Being even later for work than before. Having a long queue of angry late motorists behind you. I think that would work a treat, but some do say that here in the UK that they like extra revenue. Dont know how true that is?????????
