Re: Stopping an auto smoothly

I'm still not sure what the problem is, you must keep your foot on the brake or it will creep. If you have jerking in every car you drive perhaps you should approach junctions etc a bit slower so you can fine tune the stop. You can't be motionless in an automatic without your foot on the brake or it...

Re: Oh dear oh dear ....

How about this. If you look on the IAM website under member rewards , member only insurance services, in the photo next to motorcycle insurance you can see quite clearly that the rider is not wearing gloves or maybe he just took the left one off to take the photo.

Re: Motorcycle airbag jackets

I'll go made to measure if I have to but I do like the AlpineStars airbag system. Realistically, I've only got about 8 years of motorcycling left and it's hard enough now. I'm probably on my last bike or maybe I'll get a proper Superbike to have a last fling next year. I can only ride now because I ...

Re: Motorcycle airbag jackets

Thanks for the video I'll look into that after I've tried the AlpineStars things which I won't buy if they don't fit properly.

Re: Intelligent Speed Assistance

Isn't the real answer getting people to drive with more skill and to keep their speed below that of their ability?
If you can switch it off there's not really any point in it. The good news is it's not going to be compulsory on bikes.
