hmm, does seem a bit overcautious. I can't believe it's to wind you up. However, imho everyone shd use radar lot more than they do, best every time they go out, so to be super-good at using it in fog. Though mebbe bit excessive to have it at all if permanenetly on the thames...

Quite simply because it does the Radar good to be run up and it means everything is thoroughly warmed up by the time they reach open waters.

I actually bought it after seeing strapped on to the swim platform of a boat in Poole Harbour. Seems like a good way of getting around to shop, but at 70kg, it won't float. Better chance than the other bike, though...

well spotted, Sherlock. Nope, it's a Suzuki Intruder Volusia - 800cc and about a ton five tops, two up. SWMBO extracted a conservatory as a concession for me buying said toy, and conservatory has now grown into a full blown extension...

My Dad might beable to help you with this one. He once got asked at Caversham lock if he really needed to have radar on the Thames by a jogger with extremely laughable stick legs looking like forrest gump. I'll either leave it up to your imagination his reply or he can tell you himself, not on the forum though!
