    Back to the title, and incorporating the drifts; ---

    Our bonnets have quite a good flattish surface area.

    Convert to ev, and have solar on the bonnet.

    As some of us, are approaching old codger status, and driving much shorter and less frequent distances, such an approach might be ok for the occasional trip to the end of the road, or maybe the drive if you have a long one. ðŸ¤...

    Sunshine----Am watching the Santos Tour Down Under -Ladies race on telly---It's 35C today, bit warm for bike riding but they're going quite well considering-- Women's road racing has really developed/taken off here over the last 3-4 years, it's good to see. -now if these riders had solar panels they could have AC on their bikes--lol
    I notice that 250w panels seem to be the go over your way, the...

    The Kumhos are only T rated which is almost certainly why they are not on the approved list for motorsport. Also it isn't the scrutineer who decides the tyre isn't suitable for motorsport but the tyre manufacturers themselves who put forward their suitable tyres to the tyre committee at Motorsport UK. The scrutineer is there to ensure the safety of the competitor, officials, marshals and spectat...

    I used a narrow section of old radio antenna tubing on the wire to prevent the woven strand wire kinking. Works well. The other aspect is to check the tension of the return springs to the carburettors. One of mine was stretched beyond useful operation. That said, the 'piano' wire suggestions sounds a useful modification.

  • C Mee18 January 2025

    Thanks for the info on the Kumhos which will probably be very useful for some people.

    I would happily have gone for Kumhos as I know folk like them, they're just not on the MSUK's list.

    I could probably get away with it as I'm never likely to be troubling the front runners but I don't fancy chugging all the way up to a Harewood hill climb to be refused entry by a picky scrutineer ju...

    “ it's all about control not convenienceâ€

    Indeed. They’re selling it as convenience and Gen Z-ers are falling for it.

    Apparently, our old friend Tony B-liar has been pushing very hard for digital ID.

  • GuyW18 January 2025

    So Bill, for less than £1000 you could upgrade your system to a 5.6kw with new panels! You would also need to replace the inverter but could probably recoup at least some of the cost selling the second hand parts.

    The caution isn't necessarily about what current authorities might do, irrespective of their political Party. It's what might be enabled should a different form of State become established in the foreseeable future.

    National ID card?. The FEDS already know more about me than l do....it's all about control not convenience...

  • anamnesis18 January 2025

    UK set to introduce digital driving licences.

    "The virtual licences could be used at supermarket self checkouts, The Times said, allowing customers to verify their own age without waiting for a member of staff."

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgkjjkjy4p8o

    Not expected to be mandatory.

    Good or bad?

    Prelude national ID's? -- that would be mandatory?
