My uncle got knocked off his Honda 50 on his way home from work in the early seventies, A Yank on the wrong side of the road from U.S,A.F Upper Heyford. He spend 2 weeks in The old Radcliffe Infirmary and lost his big toe. he was pretty lucky to be alive. It was between Middleton Stony and Lower Heyford (Just down the road from Croughton) .Ordinary G.I nothing special. G.I was shipped out before Police could do anything. It was pretty much accepted back then, that if a yank hit you that's what happened. seems some things never change.

I pop in here once every couple of months. Been a member on this site around 10 years now. There is only so many times you can see the same crap come around. Most of the people I know from this site are on my face Book friends list and all the banter that used to be in general is posted on friends pages. Most of the old members who used to be active here are pretty much the same as me. And don't really bother coming here much anymore. The world moves on. If Facebook bores you that's coz you with to many pictures of peoples dinners, you have boring friends and not Facebook's fault. When I first joined here,l the general page used to be 3 pages the turnover was so large. Now when I look there is still stuff on the front page that has been there from the last time I looked.

As usual VNA has it spot on. Just another Tory in the same mould, but this outcome has been arranged to fit in with the surprise Brexit outcome. 'Gove stabbing Boris in the back then standing down', 'Leadsom a serious contender ' - did you really believe all that rubbish! The Tories are making the best of a bad job. If we are out of the EU within 2 years, or even close, I'll buy everybody a pint :-)
Gove meetings with Murdoch, Before Boris announces, Gove seeks MPs support to get Leadsom out of race,So just him and May on the ticket, Murdoch rag trashes Leadsoms chances. Gove history of saying never wants to be prime Minister. Who chooses our Prime Minister Again ? And if May does turn out to be Maggie 2.0  unity is the last thing she will be achieveing

Cornwall and Wales voted out both the largest recievers of EU grants. both still want that cash when we stop paying the EU. So I fully support the independance for Wales and Cornwall campaigns and wonder how soon we can get shot of them. Then we may stand a chance of getting some of this cash we are supposed to be getting back from the EU to spend on the health service. Then we have just got to find a way of stopping the subsidies to the farmers.  with the drop in the markets looks like there are going to be plenty of pensioners wanting to earn a bit of cash so we can ship them off to the east of the country veg picking to replace are those eastern Europeans that will will be kicking out soon  https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/mar/14/tory-minister-wanted-uk-pensioners-to-be-low-wage-fruit-pickers

One trip up the drive to the farm I live on and it wouldn't be so clean.  Even riding the roads around here it wouldn't be. Unless I van the bike for 5 miles until I get to roads with out field gates where tractors are forever bring the field to the road. Muck is just how it is around here, trying to fight it is pointless

I wash my bike about once or twice a year. sometimes bits get accidentally cleaned when being replaced or checked I live on a farm and have about a mile of dirt track before I get to Tarmac. so washing it is pretty much a waste of time. I did pressure wash it off the other day, so there is now a space between the exhaust manifolds and the engine block again. forgot the oil filter was down there  , it's been so long since I've seen it I take a pride it the filth on my bike purely to wind up the people who spend more on trick bits and polish than they do on what they put in the petrol in the tank

I started as Razi the Spazi at school. Which I then managed to get shorten to Razi around the time of Happy days being on Telly. I'm just plain Raz now. Had a mate called Bandit coz he lost an arm in a bike accident. but that's a common name for one armed people

Sorry guys not going to make it,
Just got grabbed by my landlord he's been let down by a bloke and needs somebody to drive a tractor for him getting bails of hay moved.
Have to take work when I can get it,
plus seeing a grown farmer cry and beg, does pull on your heart strings a bit.
Hopefully be able to make the next ride out

If it's jumping up and down when the bikes stood still,
It won't be the speedo rotor which is the part that the tabs break off from.
Sounds more electrical,
I'd start checking for loose connections and frayed or damaged wires

Oh it was a Muslim joke I read it has a black joke about the callousness of the DWP and their Tory masters. Maybe I've been reading too much about people having housing benefit removed after the death of anrelative. Every death saves the tax payer you know

51 year old former Hod carrier, groundworker general building site donkey,
Now felling trees cutting hedges and doing fencing work.
Just spend 9 hours with a pole hedge trimmer in my hands plus the bending and picking up involved with clearing up.
I can't list the aches and pains, It's easier just to say my whole body hurts.
I find the bike is quite easy, apart from that arse muscle that seems to twist funny and hurts like hell when I first get on sometimes, but getting off and remounting usually sorts it.

You could try appealing but i don't reckon you'll win, especially as they offer free motorcycle parking anyway. Councils count on this type of apathy, you have nothing loose by appealing. Clearing the warden was just another jobsworth with a target bonus.
Let's not be blinkered here, it's in writing that you cannot park a bike in a pay and display car bay so they will simply refer to that.
What appeal can you make? I don't think that " I couldn't see the bike bay, because of parked cars" is going to wash very well?
And why was the warden being a "jobsworth"? He was just doing his job, it's not like it was personal.
Unless You cannot park a bike in a pay and display car bay was on signage I think Ginge has a good case to appeal. do you check the internet everytime you go into a town to check every small detail of the local bylaws

Lugershall Bike Night is on the 6 July this year. Very hard to find the dates for Cassington and Lugershall if you've got a memory like a sieve
