I have been out of testing for some years now but remember that Bulb horns are only legal for bikes registered prior to 1st August 1973. If you got to:-

You can read the official testers manual to find out what you can and cant do

The cops in West Wales are bad enough, but that evil barsteward who used to run North Wales constabulary, Richard Brunstrom aka "The Mad Mullah of the Traffic Taliban" was worse by far! I remember when he used a photos of a dead biker in a press conference to show just why he was down on bikes, the poor sod was hardly cold in his grave and there's Brunstrom showing pictures of the guy's decapitated head (without his family's permission) to illustrate a point!  >:(

I remember hearing about that, absolutely disgusting he could do that. The angel is still open yes, not sure if that's a good thing though. I have lived here all my life and can't remember there ever being an army surplus store, my dad reckons that might have been shut for 20 years!! I don't think there is an alternative to the graig as everything is steadily shutting down it's becoming a real ghost town.

Mud is the answer to all your problems.  During the summer, in the countryside, thousands of people come up from the towns to rip it up on our twisty roads on their shiny metallic rockets and to be honest I can understand that the local police get annoyed; I have seen some pretty irresponsible riding.

However, if your bike is caked with mud, you're wearing the uniform (tweed and gum boots) and you have either a lamb or a sack of pig food bungeed to the back, you will be recognised as a local lunatic, saluted and waved on.

I was recently pulled over for going, in the officer's opinion, too fast.  The first thing he asked me was if I was local.  When I told him where I lived and apologised, admitting the foolishness of my actions, he advised me to ride more carefully in future and sent me away without further to-do.
