    But we can't make bike headlights that don't point skywards when going
    round bends. If one more twat sticks their lights on highbeam to dazzle
    me just because I'm going round a left hand bend, I'm gonna ram the
    fuckers.

  2. I think you'll come off worse :)

    Have you tried shooting them instead?

    Yeah, replace the headlight with a machine gun - you can easily follow
    the tracer in the dark, and when you go round a left hand bend, there
    won't be anybody to flash you ;-)

    Statistically, I shouldn't do. I've hit three cars, all whilst riding
    an R65, and all SMIDSYs. In each case I rode the bike home after, but
    only two of the cars survived. Perhaps my logic's a bit flawed though.
    I'm not sure that's legal.

    Surely that's a bit extreme? I reckon he should turn off his light any time
    he comes to a corner.

  6. The way I read it was that you were going to ram them head on but I
    understand the motivation behind the thought.
    It isn't but it doesn't hurt to imagine some things sometimes :)

    Nice plan! Wonder if I could make it auto-target speed cameras too.

    Ah, I see what you mean. Ramming anything head on other than Beatles
    (good launch ramp) & Trabants (cardboard) may not be such a good plan.

  9. It shouldn't be hard to knock up something that seeks out and points at
    radar.

    Machine Mart or Screwfix probably do something and you can get the
    electronics from Maplins.

    If you're going to suggest something, try to make it at least *vaguely*
    sensible, ffs.

    Wotcha.
    other than Beatles

    You'd better hurry up then - there's only Paul and
    Ringo left ;-)

  14. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember "Preston Kemp"
    There's only a couple left. Better get one while you still can.
