How to make an application for the retention of a vehicle's original registration mark If you own a motor vehicle whose registration mark is not held by the DVLA, you may still be able to successfully apply for the retention of its original registration mark. To retain the vehicles original...

NOW SOLD, THANKS :D (I already mentioned this in Mutley's thread, but thought I'd give it a heading of its own). Herby is a green 99'er with a mere 16,000 miles on the clock. (5 MOT certificates to confirm this) Always been garaged & trickled on an Optimate. It starts on the button and...

I love animals in general, wild or tame and I particularly like dogs. We have two here: both rescue dogs and, more importantly, both mongrels. I recognise that some pedigrees are impressive animals and they were bred for a task:but those tasks are now often no longer applicable and breeding is...

Yes, I know you're all experts on paper, and like farmer Brown, outstanding in your field, but that's not what I mean. I mean, anyone know anything about quality paper. I'm after a really top quality paper to hand write certificates on. I may end up printing on them, but at the moment I'm...

I will keep this post updated with the latest position and news - a single source of the truth about this event. Changes will be highlighted in italics and colour. Latest Edit 10/07/10 at 13.30 The Scottish forestry commission have just given me permission to lead a group of Adventure...

FALCON BIKE INSURANCE Don’t buy from FALCON BIKE INSURANCE without being very very clear about what you are letting yourself in for. Read their T&Cs carefully before you commit. My 18year old son took out a policy with them. Their on line engine said the policy would be £170, and the...

I have just been listening to the news reporting the sacking of six social workers in Birmingham and am appalled. Surely this is scape goating of the worst kind in a beleaguered profession. Are we truly to believe that a service can claim to have recruited SIX members of staff who were...

Yes, sadly :rolleyes: starting uni in Sept so I need to get a more practical form of transport. 1996 XR400R TAX and MOT run out start of april, it WILL fly through the MOT and tax is only £33 Quite low mileage, cant be exact due to using a cycle speedo when the cable snapped a month ago...

Morocco Trip April-May 2009 Bike is an elderly Honda TransAlp with 47,000 miles on the clock which I had serviced and checked before departing. I had the tyres filled with green gunge to stop small punctures as I had read numerous accounts of tyres blowing on rough Moroccan roads. My tool kit...

On March the 20th last year I insured my brand new FMX with fully comprehensive insurance on the telephone to one of the major Motorcycle insurers. A couple of months later I bought my Africa Twin, phoned them up and asked for another policy for that bike as they do not do multi bike policies...

Waddya think? :D Here's the idea. We set up our own approval and validation system for marathon rides. All those taking part in and completing a TLD event get automatic membership :thumbright: on donation of £10 to the justgiving website for that year. Those copying the run at any other...

Hope this is in the right section. Isn't so much a biketech question so thought it would be better here. I got a replacement MPH speedo from ebay a while back as I'm sick of the KMH one and those little stickers, and finally managed to find some time to fit it to the bike yesterday to give it a...

Just wondered , has anybody made any attemptes with the iron-butt association to get validated for the longest day(end-to-end) and if so what type of response have you had.... I had a conversation with robster at lands end about drafting our own xrv certificates to mark the occasion if we...

I was just wondering if there are any other RoSPA advanced riders on the site. I have a question regarding certificates I need clarified before I rant at Edgebaston.
