Re: The Northern Monkeys are back

Wife went for a walk around Barton Waterside country park today. The only parking allowed near the café building is for staff and disabled. The main car park is some 400 yds away on gravel/grass-so need a congregating area if two groups are meeting up?

Re: How brake shoes are made.

That's exactly why UK business cannot compete. For us, so many hurdles in safety, welfare, emissions etc to protect the work force and environment. For them, you are easily replaced, sod the planet and paid pence. :(

Re: The Northern Monkeys are back

I would have to go the long way round for that as its only 17 miles from my house :lol: What do you guys normally do on these? Just meet up for a brew? I would need to go a long way around too, as its only 6 miles from mine. I just need a new knee to hold my RT up with confidence, but I can at last...

Re: The Northern Monkeys are back

Next week I get one knee operated on. No idea where the other one is on the massive NHS operation backlog, to get that one fixed. Hoping to get more than the paltry 50 miles I managed to do last year! Fingers crossed, back in the saddle joining the Northern Monkeys for some ride outs in the summer ;...

Re: CitNOW Video ?

This is a BMW car thing. They have been doing this for years. Every time the wife took her Mini in for a service or any workshop stuff they sent an email video. Plus they used to give the car an inside and out valet. Jaguar do the same video and full valet, but I'm sure it's all built into the serv...

Re: full beam. Why?

More or less what Steve said. Use your common sense when using a high beam. The dipped beam with 2 low powered daylight in yellow stands out. It's called the light triangle. It has been proved that this light setup is more noticeable to oncoming traffic and in a vehicle's rear mirrors. As for LED h...
