  1. I get the same problem not so much much now as they have throttled my speed back due to BT's cables being shite, still happens occasionally tho, I was with Virgin for years without problems then one day they just decided to piss me about so after about 3 weeks of no internet and some desk jockey telling me their engineer didn't know what he was doing I told them where to stick their broadband where the sun doesn't shine, hence being with Plusnet now and the service I have received is fantastic.

  2. In Spain the (MOT) inspector compares the specifications of the bike closely with those recorded electronically at the time of first registration. Any new mods means that you have to get a new tech inspection (Engineers Report) done before the MOT equivalent. Typically 200 euros a time!

    Every mod has to be E-marked or otherwise type-approved. The engineer's report is required to update the registered details of that particular bike and no other. The engineer doesn't actually comment on the roadworthiness of the bike, that's done by the MOT tester in the usual way. All the details from the type approval are on computer and any deviations from that are also recorded against the VIN of the vehicle/bike.

    The tester has a hand-held bit of IT which enables him to call up the details of the machine in front of him. Show up for a 2-yearly MOT with obvious differences to the vehicle and the tester can insist on another technical inspection and report to update the system before he will proceed with the roadworthiness test.

    MMM is what the EU have in mind over here with this anti tampering bollox and this 2 year MOT suggestion that is being banded about, would make everything fit into place!

    Top up oil and run it. See what happens as its not unusual to get some oil in the line. You should drain the tank after every use.

  4. Voxan was created in 1995 as France’s only modern-day motorcycle manufacturer. Ultimately an unsuccessful venture, the company was purchased by automaker Venturi in 2010.

    Several different French engineers were involved in bring the first Voxan bike to life at the company’s inception. Three bikes models were presented in 1997 at Paris’ World Motor show, generating a flurry of excitement in the French press. The country was so enthusiastic about having its own motorbike manufacturer that the Dassault aeronautics company invested money in the product line, and the French president asked for a private viewing of the cycles in 1999.

    So fervent was the demand for Voxan bikes that the models themselves were rushed into production before they had been fully tested for design flaws. As a result the company’s first bike, the ’99 Roadster, was a victim of a delayed release date and an improperly-executed marketing campaign.

    Even under the best circumstances, Voxan would have faced stiff competition from popular Italian and Japanese bikes already on the market. As it stood, the Roadster suffered from poor sales that doomed the company from the start. By the time the Café Racer was released in 2000 and the Scrambler in 2001, Voxan was already having trouble paying its workers and was considering bankruptcy.

    The company was saved by entrepreneur Didier Cazeaux and the Société de Développement et de Participation, who bought Voxan and ensured the company could continue producing motorbikes. The new influx of capital gave the company the ability to rehire Sacha Lakic, the designer of the ’99 Roadster. Lakic produced two more models for Voxan – 2004’s Black Magic and 2005’s Charade. These were minimalist naked bikes designed around an engine and chassis unique to Voxan.

    The new models could not save Voxan from its financial troubles, and the company was one again on the brink by the end of the decade. This time, philanthropist Gildo Pallanca Pastor purchased the company and merged it with his Venturi automobile division, which he had saved from a similar fate in 2001. Pastor had worked with Sacha Lakic to transform Venturi into a specialty car company focused on electric and solar powered cars, and proposed a similar future for Voxon in 2010.

    The remaining gas-powered Voxon bikes are already considered collector’s pieces, as the company abandons their previous models in favor of a new product line powered entirely by electricity. Voxan predicts a three-year wait for the first of this new generation of motorcycles.

  5. God visits a man & tells him he must give up smoking drinking & sex if he wants to go to heaven
    Man says he'll try
    A week later God visits man to see how he's getting on
    "Not bad" says the man, "I've given up smoking & drinking but when my wife bent over the freezer I had to give her one from behind"
    "They don't like that in heaven" replies God
    The man says "They're not too happy about it in Morrisons either"?!!

  6. You can only please some of the people some of the time!!!


    At the end of the day if you think your post may offend then add a line to the tittle telling people, It's the posters choice.

    It states it on the forum description as many have said, It's no good getting the hump over something that's not personally directed at another forum member if it is then that's a different kettle of fish.
