Re: Terminally Embarrased
A friend of mine has the same problem, the air pump machine made a big difference but the first one he go kept his missus awake with the noise. He bought one from somewhere that is almost silent, so now both are happy people.

Re: Speed limiters mandatory from 2022?
Why would we need it to be a private forum we are all promoting driver/rider education if we are critical of an organisation we have first hand knowledge of we should be able to say so, as long are it is not libellous, and a mature organisation should listen to and consider all feed back.

Also,if you are driving smoothly then you should not be...
