    Isn't there a "boy racer" law that forbids pouring diesel onto the roads? :spudwhat:

    Doesn't this law apply to these vehicles pouring deisel onto the roads?:spudwhat:

    After all, bikes are getting done for "excessive acceleration" and "loss of traction".

    What say the lawyers on this site?

    A few mates trucks have had to have the seals replaced, its an expensive exercise. One lost a half tank of fuel in a day before he noticed (only leaked while the truck was moving). Its not a problem with the fuel, its a problem with seals. Hope my trucks going to be okay

    The fuel is not ''pouring'' out,usualy a regular drip as the engine is running and will be in the centre of the vehicle - always a good idea to ride in a wheel track,and take extra care in the rain after a dry spell....in other words,ride as per usual...but take care on roundabouts where vehicles are crossing lanes often and at lower speeds,spills will be more evenly spread.

    Then why hasn't it been picked up before this?

    I noticed some big patches around town and had to modify my route because it was so bad in a couple of places last week.

    Great more pollution - All the good things Stage Coach and Howick and Eastern Buses + other diesel's need - Hope they tune the engines while they are at it - the foul shit that comes out of those buses is discussing.

    I'll second that.

    Since I got back on bikes I know I have become a more alert, switched-on driver... although I drive as little as possible now, hey why drive when you can RIDE!!
