Essentially traffic lights for people.I meant traffic light controlled crossings. You have to wait for the green man but on other non traffic light controlled junctions you no longer have to wait
This is rather like covid rules, child discipline etc…If only there was a new rule to make others think like this!
additional rules are not followed by those who don’t follow the existing rules.

No, but the extra publicity surrounding the new rule changes have reminded drivers of their responsibilities and from what I've seen so far if seems to be having a positive effect overall.This is rather like covid rules, child discipline etc…

The brilliance of that comment was in the double use of the word Grifter (as to how your bike became worth more than most cars). I thought it was my greatest moment, but if I have to explain it, maybe not. Top 5 though.Did you progress to a Chopper?

I found a Grifter in the local brook that was obviously nicked and dumped. I took it home and hosed it down, and my dad did the honourable thing of reporting it to the police. After 14 days he got a call back from the police to say it hadn't been reported stolen, so I got to keep it.The brilliance of that comment was in the double use of the word Grifter (as to how your bike became worth more than most cars).

I ended up completely stripping it down, cleaning it and fixing it back up again. Even the 3-speed Sturmey-Archer hub gears. Took a while and a bit of research (old school library books on bike maintenance), but it was well worth it.
I remember that thing being the weight of a small neutron star, but it was a great bike. Sadly long gone.

Yeah, Grifters were not built to fly, which was a pity because Evel Knievel was popular at the time so they had to fly! Heavy landings, bent/snapped forks, hospital visits, great times had by all.I found a Grifter in the local brook that was obviously nicked and dumped.

Ah yes flying through the air like evil knievel until the landing! Snapped forks over the handlebars and the customary broken collar bone!!!Yeah, Grifters were not built to fly, which was a pity because Evel Knievel was popular at the time so they had to fly!
