Out of curiosity ... does the driver in the UK get points for letting a passenger be transported without wearing a belt? Rishi ...

Not as far as i'm aware, unless the passengers are under 14, then it is the drivers responsibility.

Here in Canada, I would be fined as a driver for letting a passenger ride without a belt.

I cant understand why the only British bike ( mc ) you can buy now is a Triumph.I remember when,wherever you looked you would see Triumph,Norton,BSA,Aerial,Royal Enfield,AJS/Matchless.

What happened ? did a metor strike the earth and wipe them all out,like with the dinosaurs,or what ?!

Essentially yes, they became dinosaurs.

My first bike was an Aerial 500,then I had 5 triumphs over the years.In between I have ridden a BSA Road rocket,an AJS and an Aerial square 4 and they were all great rides.IMHO they would leave any Harley for dead,for speed,comfort and just the feel of riding.

Why does VT now take me to the bottom of the page when I click on a page number or the NEXT button?

Happens to me periodically on my tablet. Not sure why but it's only an occasional issue.

Either your cache is ****, clear it.
Or you have this setting wrong.

The plot thickens....well, maybe not thickens but coagulates:  The setting is correct and the behavior is the same regardless of which computer i'm using, seemingly ruling out the buggered cache theory.   On the bright side, it's a lot faster to catch up on a thread when you only read the last post on each page.
