    By Royal Appointment

    I was actually looking to see how the NZ election was reported in the UK when I came across this:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4255196.stm

    Not a royalist myself, but good to see that Harry has a Yamaha 125 (the limit for a learner in the UK) while William passed his licence and owns a Yamaha 600 and a Triumph Daytona 600. Maybe things like this and the current fuel prices will mean bikers get a better deal from the politicians.
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    i think his 125 is a dirt bike. So are you saying in the uk, you cant ride what you want on the dirt?, do you even need a motorbike licence to ride a dirt bike? (his bro's yamaha's a dirtbike too)

    I noticed that too! A 600cc two stroke single? Imagine how that would go on a hill climb..
