Bude is about 4-5hrs drive from London, Heathrow would be the closest London airport (Stanstead, Luton and Gatwick are all the other side). Alternatively you could get the ferry from France to Plymouth, then its about an hours drive. Good road directions can be found by using the Route Finder functi...

there are some clear pics of the pads at RS Components website, www.rswww.com part number 317-140 and 317-156 the idea would be to make a sandwich; some thin ply for the base (a section of router mat glued to the bottom would give excellent non-skid), then the pressure pad (doublesided carpet tape w...

anyone ever used pressure pads/mats instead of tape switches? i stumbled across a site selling them, the main application is security but apparently they are also used for art installations etc. in the UK you can get a 575mm x 175mm pad (designed for a staircase) for just £7 (US$13). http://www.arun...

happy to be corrected, but i seem to think there were two versions of the 3-ply response. a softer one and a stiffer one. reason i say this is that i've got a 'stiff' 3-ply response and i seem to remember having to specify this when i ordered it. anyway, i weigh in at about 200lb and its ok under me...

Needle nose preferably wanted, but would consider a full nose. Ideally med-stiff flex, but would go to a stiff flex. Apart from that I'm in the UK, though shipping from the US considered for the right board/deal. If you've got one you want to sell pls drop me a line. gavtheoldskater@hotmail.com thanks

not too sure of the specific schedule/dates (can't find the official IRTA stuff anywhere) but they do also test in europe. i'm pretty sure jerez and catalunya are definitely there.
another good site is www.motogp.com theres a brief, but interesting, piece by randy mamola on rossi at sepang.

If he wins on a Yamaha, what’s next - a bicycle? Ducati will be next for rossi, the desire to be the Italian champ on an Italian bike must be overwhelming. and lets face it a salary drop in order to achieve that wouldn't exactly hurt his finances. Apart from that I agree with everone else, this yea...
