Asking for a friend, How many times do they need to spontaneously combust or have a small lead pellet pass through them before they will not bother reinstating them.
Many people bump their gums about this sort of heroism, but very few do anything. Anarchy in the U.K. etc etc.Thats exactly what the police say, its in the villages thats the main issue.
I have ridden the Ridgeway the last few years, there are seasonal closures but the rest of mostly open .

Hi, I live and work in the Meon Valley and have a Ducati 749 with a Termignoni, it makes a nice sound without being in your face.
Most of my customers will complain about the noise of bikes at the weekend, they don’t really care about speeding as long as you keep to the speed limits throug the villages, problem is they now associate noise with speed.
The stretch from Mislingford (Sanderson wood yard through to Loomies is a particular problem as the sound of a modern bike with a race exhaust carries for miles, especially early morning 5am onwards when it is deathly silent.
Riders do need to be more considerate of the residents or stricter limits will be introduced. It’s a little like the ridgeway where everyone used to be able to use the green lane with no issues until the 4x4 tiny dick brigade decided that getting stuck and then fking up the lane by using winches and wheel spin was a good laugh. Now everyone is banned.

I went out on the bike this evening passing through West Farringdon towards Loomies in West Meon on the A32. Unfortunately was totally unaware of the average speed cameras until I left Loomies Cafe.
Riding back along the A32 only saw 3 cameras. Are there more ?
There was also a police officer with a hand held gun along the route. Stopped and asked him whether the cameras had been switched on. He was unsure, said sone were on but now all.

Did I hear correctly that a biker died on this road a few days ago near the West Meon Hut?
Further east on the A272 at Langrish on Weds. 25yr old motorcyclist died at the scene after an an incident with an HGV. Road is still closed 3 days later. Driver of the HGV has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving. Police wording of that side of the investigation very unusual. normalbloke said:

Well according to our local Tory member in her newsletter the residents are over the moon about it.
Wonder which ones they're asking. Don't think my Dad is too pleased and he lives just off the A32 Be interesting to see if this does actually make a difference,
