It's just a vintage Euro style front plate. It has nothing specific to do with a Brough. In addition to other Brit bikes, you can also see them on old BMWs and other Euro bikes. Some people mount reproduction ones with the model and year. Running a vintage Euro front plate is probably no more illegal than keeping a Euro rear plate. Obviously you still need a current and legal plate for your jurisdiction.

If you cut a pedestrian in two, you're probably liable though.

I don't know why I thought one or the other. Of course I should keep the original back plate and just have a replica on the front. Thanks

I'll look into purchasing or producing my own plate housing for my bike.

>>919201
I wouldn't do it unless it's a prewar bike.

I've got no interest in trains, but I did look at taking the cross-Canada tour (I live in western BC). It was going to be around $6800 before fees and taxes to go one way.

>>919040
you sound like you're not in europe or japan so

grab a southwest flight to chicago
ride cta and metra all day
check out the four major train stations chicago has - union station, ogilvie transportation center, la salle street station, and randolph street station

take amtrak's empire builder from chicago union station to glacier national park and check out the park. or just to wisconsin dells and play at the dells for a day. or whatever. from chicago you can go pretty much anywhere.

>>919065
$6800? Are you sure? That's a huge chunk of money.

Yes, a brakeless fixie with a fashion helmet drooped over the handlebars is deffo the way to go

Don't forget to wear headphones so you can't hear anything around you, and practice riding hands-free so you can text on your iphone as you ride

>brakeless fixie
You should get your eyes checked before you continue to ride over small children and knock over old ladies on the greenway.

It's a SR Suntour XC M-75 fork and XT-derailler, Aheadset designed for Cane Creek, magura HS11, deore hubs amd racing ralph's,

tree fiddy.

Problems I observed:

1. Very little public transportation infrastructure for such a big city
2. Redundancy: a lot of the routes run in the same direction, as opposed to going in different directions to cover more area
3. Extension plans "derailed" by big car corporations on a daily basis

lel

Also LA has been built around automobiles since the 1920s. Nearly every suburb in the county since the 1920s has been built with automobile transportation in mind. It's not like you can go back to the Red Car days of the 1900s in any meaningful way.

> comparing a country to a continent

What?

>>918455
They are just as favorable as magnesi frames, and a little neater than plastic.

>>918465
how are they on the materials side of things? ride quality, stiffness, weight etc.

Bamboo bikes were a big fad about 5 years ago - by all accounts they're plenty strong enough for hard riding, but they're somewhat heavy and usually quite flexible (lots of variation between frames though). Take away the cool factor associated with the aesthetic and easy DIY frame building and there's nothing special about bamboo frames, which is probably why the trend has waned.

I think this crash is interesting - it shows how little any road vehicle means against a heavy, fast rail vehicle. Milejów , Poland, 26.06.2015, train hitting a defunct truck and throw it onto a house nearby:

>Railroad crossing accident in Studenka, Czech Republic
>Three passangers died; twenty were seriously injured, some of them with lifelong consequences. Polish driver survived without any major injuries and is currently waiting for a verdict from the court.

That lowlife scum had apparently driven only 1000 km in his life, had a truck driving license only since 2012 and already done 19 traffic offences. Still for some reason this guy is allowed to drive trucks in Poland.
And his boss supposedly told him to stay out of motorways as much as possible to avoid paying toll.

Thank you, Poland. I think building a wall isn't really that much of a bad idea.

>>918314
Why bars come down only about 15 sec before train comes? In Poland, it is usually longer, and the "right" one usually comes down before "left" so even retarded driver like him could survive.

As long as you have a speed sensor on your wheel, yes. But the roller itself has no Ant+ connection.

>>918028
yes

No. The trains in GE999 were figurative devices to begin with, and the Galaxy Railways spinoff that takes them somewhat more seriously as technology is completely absurd - the whole point of rails is to distribute heavy loads, sp there would be no advantage to rails in a zero gravity environment, and in practice would needlessly complicate space travel.

The 999 TV series is still one of the best anime ever made.

>>917907

Eh, I figured the same as well once I thought over it for a while.

No reason to blow off presumably trillions of dollars on something that will render as quite ineffective in modern times.

Still though, you have to admit it would seem rather cool to see those mile long American freight consists speed throughout the skies , hauled by dual ES44AC Road Switchers or ||>Insert popular locomotive here<|| whatnot.


But yeah.

GE999 rules over all.

What might work are some kind of space tugboats or pushers.

Any VTOL aircraft. Never needs to touch a road, unlike most aeroplanes, which need a runway, which approximates a road.

Damn, isn't it dangerous as shit riding so close to the next rider in front?

Nope, it's on my bucket list. I did the Redbull fox hunt in Rostrevor a couple of years ago, that was pretty fun. Unfortunately I am currently bikeless.

Spend a lot of time on airships, huh?
