WOF Question?

[eldog]

I bet some tosser fell off while demonstrating their own brakes, then tried to blame the testing station. That's why silly rules get enforced.

Your communicating with the cause.

My last three cars have had electric power steering and did not have the issues you read about in one of your imaginary articles. In fact all three firm up when on the open road.

Have they got colour tv down where it lives yet?

must have just finished using the horse and cart

MrsB's Golf has electronic - set up vary depending on your speed. Being able to vary it will be why they run electronic - not cost.

Hydraulic systems have had variable speed for sometime. My son's Golf GTI with an electric power steering is not really any different in feel than the hydraulic pump system on my Jeep. Vagueness in steering can be truck load of things, with nothing to do with the pump. New Jeep Cherokee is electric power steering as well, anyone that says its feel is numb has not driven it (just read made up articles in LalaLand Publications using their numb brains).

How difficult is it to stay on topic on any thread?

You would have had to experience driving a brand new car with old hydralic power steering to understand what I am on about or do some internet research on the subject. An article I read said that cars with firm steering are less tiring to drive and therefore safer.

who would have a new car with OLD hydraulic power steering?

Haven driven vehicles with and without power steering, it’s a matter of adjusting to each type.
but when the power steering fails for whatever reason you know all about it then.

just as easy for me to drive firm or light steering, usually they are geared about the same. Some more so than others.

so for me, NO it doesn’t affect being tired either way. So not safer.

but try an older vehicle without power steering and try a lot of slow speed movement, it will take much more effort. Still doesn’t affect safety.

all about driving to your skill, the surroundings, the situation, your attitude/frame of mind etc

would be nice for you to post a reference to a least one of these ‘articles’ or are you too lazy?
too old, not intelligent enough, shy or what ever excuse.

maybe it’s time you where banned from KB?

How difficult is it to stay on topic on any thread?

Deflection/change the subject/not being able to quote sources/don’t answer questions/not admit fault/evade direct answer etc. All modis operandii of a certain KB member

for the rest of us, the occasional deviation is usually short lived.

I was wondering how long it would be before someone disapproved of me talking cars and not bikes.
Maybe a site administrator will get the non bike specific posts of mine removed to keep you and others
who dont like non bike chat happy.

You are an idiot. Whether your off topic trolling is on bikes or cars doesn't matter, they are off topic for this thread or any thread you pollute. You start your own thread on the merits of electric vs hydraulic power steering systems.

I know, it would be great if admins could intervene suitably and remove said person from posting anything in future unless on topic.

[eldog]

Look up the articles yourself but I bet they would not convince you I am right anyway. I agree that without any powersteering at all slow speed driving is not easy. I only ever drove one car like that and it was only at city speeds which when out on the open road may have even been better than hydralic ps to drive.

Go on get me banned for non bike chat!!

Myself I don’t have anything against non bike stuff as long as it’s reasonably relevant to the thread.

what I object to is the constant reference to articles, posts, web sites with no way for the rest of us to look at what your looking at.

its a no brainer, ban yourself.

ah yes, a no brainer.....

[Jeeper]

What an idiotic overly sensitive muppet you are. People even discuss the election on KB did you know???? There must be some others keen to deviate from bike chat otherwise they would not have reponded to me with their views on the topic?

I seem to have hit a nerve. I didn't know nerves could exist without a brain. KB discusses many things, but in their own relevant sections and threads. If you don't have the decency or intelligence to understand that, then you better stay off KB thread hijacking with nonsense posts.

I could understand your argument if I introduced the topic of pornography.

Are you going to provide quotes or references or photos or video you are involved in?

i suggest it would be in another web site altogether

[FJRider]

I could understand your argument if I introduced the topic of pornography ...

It might increase your popularity ... if it's found that is a subject you know something about ...

Katman invites members to suck his cock an a regular basis ... seems to have made a few friends too ... (probably just a coincidence )

I have had brand new cars with hydraulic power steering. And as I said the electric ones are quite firm on the open road. And the article you read only exists in your head*

*Was going to say brain but not sure if you have one.

Cassina, this thread has got nothing to do with power steering of any type in any type of car. The OP was asking about local rules at his WoF tester for bikes bigger than 250cc.. The answer to that is simple, he should go somewhere else and keep doing that until he finds somewhere that does it right.

On most of the Internet groups I follow any statement quoting something someone read will be immediately followed by a request for a link to the source .

Maha, I can't figure out why you went back to the place that fucked you around. Please tell me you'll never darken their doorstep again.

Y'all, it's like the old (Arab?) saying. "If a man takes advantage of me shame on him. If he does it again, shame on me."

I bought up the bit about lose power steering in response to a post about the WOF inspector doing a check for lose steering on a bike. One story can indirectly lead to another and I really do not understand the hang up you and a few others have as its not like launching into a discussion on pornography where if I did I could understand your dislike.

Cassina Start a new thread on pornography. As you are an expert on all subjects it will be very enlightening.
