Re: Sinead O'Connor

This sums up up perfectly for me.

Tim Burgess, lead singer of British rock band the Charlatans, wrote on Twitter that "Sinead was the true embodiment of a punk spirit."

"She did not compromise and that made her life more of a struggle. Hoping that she has found peace," he said.

Re: The electric car revolution

In my opinion its a given that a some point we will all have a maximum carbon footprint to use which we can sell to others where we don't need it all.

Give me a decent option to driving and i would use it every time. I hate driving. There are far too many vehicles on the road now.

I suspect there is an element of fear from Nationalists in Scotland after all the bad press the SNP have had.

Re: The electric car revolution

Its storage of hydrogen that is the problem. To get sufficient into a fuel tank it needs to be a minimum of 5000psi and kept cold.

It will take massive steps forward in technology for it to be viable for bikes i would have thought.

I like the look of them.....their proportions are much more in line with a true vintage Triumph rather than the current range of retro namesakes. I disagree wholeheartedly ECCE793B-81DB-43B6-8BC3-F34D305261EB.jpeg Such a great looking bike. Going to treat myself to a retro classic Triumph for my Fr...

Re: Baby Triumphs

The Scrambler version looks great.

You do see a few KTM 390s and the BMW GS310 about on the roads. This will be a thorn in their side.

I do like that road.
I prefer it going Ludlow to Bridgnorth than the other way.

No idea why it just seems to flow better.

Good day out round Wales with Cookiemonster.

Llyn Brianne and roads around there. Lunch in Llanwrtwd Wells, the smallest town in Wales.

Did the A481 Builth to New Radnor which is a cracking piece of road and the B4364 twice.
