This is the site for the Official Monster Raving Loony Party Shadow Transport Minister ( Baron 'Pete' Von Thunderclap ), and also for the Sussex Branch of the Party

ELECTION SUCCESS JUNE 7TH 2001

I SUCCESSFULLY FAILED TO WIN THE MID SUSSEX SEAT

I SUCCESSFULLY FAILED TO BEAT ANY OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES

I SUCCESSFULLY FAILED TO SAVE MY DEPOSIT

MY ONLY FAILURE WAS MY INABILITY TO STOP 601 PEOPLE FROM CASTING THEIR VOTE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUCCESS UPDATE !!! On the 1st of May 2003 not only did I successfuly fail to get elected as a local councillor, but I managed an all time low of 36 votes. However I had stiff competition from the Labour Candidate who only managed to double my number of votes!!!!!

5th of May 2005. Unfortunately I could not afford to contest the General Election, but did stand for District Council. I polled 692 votes, which despite moving to a different area is exactly the same number that I polled last time I stood for District Council!

Some of our previous policies are already law. Not a lot of people know that the party was originally called 'The National Teenage Party' and amongst things that Lord David Sutch was campaigning for were Votes for 18 year olds, and independent local radio stations. The then Prime Minister Harold MacMillan said 'If you think that any of these will ever become law you are a raving lunatic'. The name stuck and those are some of our many policies that are now on the statute book--the latest one of ours that was scoffed at when we proposed it was 'Passports for pets'!

Current polices that I am campaigning for as Shadow Transport Minister are things such as

1) The abolition of all Volvos

2) The reinstatement of the rolling 25 year road tax exemption--plus ensuring that the road tax is spent on the ROADS not put into central funds.

3) All motorcycles will become tax exempt, and the anti loud exhausts legislation will be repealed. The later point will negate the 'sorry mate I didn't see you' excuse as favoured by Volvo drivers when they pull out in front of bikes.

4) Bikes will be allowed into bus lanes and the stupid motorway bus lanes will be abolished. On the same point John '2 Jags' Prescott will also be abolished.

5) Since my bike is comfortable at 110 mph the new national speed limit should be set at 110, with a reduction to 20mph round schools at chucking out time.

6) The current law which states that cycling on the pavement is punishable with a £500 fine will be rigidly enforced and all funds generated from this will be put into cycle tracks. All new developments will also be forced to include cycle tracks.

7) Joggers will be banned from the roads and instead will be placed into giant treadmills which will generate free electricity for Old Age Pensioners

Since most of the above are so sensible that they will in all probability become law one day here are some other less likely proposals that the Loony party are putting foreward.

1) The creation of Metric time whereby we will have 10 months in a year each of which will be 5 weeks long. Each Week will consist of 10 days (5 of which will be called 'weekends'), each of which will have 10 Hours, divided into 100 minutes which will in turn be 100 seconds long.

2) We will introduce two new Bank holidays--0ne for England only on the 23rd of April, and one for the whole UK on the 24th of October.

3) We will create a sanctuary dedicated to saving the Dodo, and breeding pairs will eventually be released back into the wild.

4) We will set up and fund an English Sub-Aqua Hang-Gliding team in readiness for the next Olympic games when we will be pushing for this to be recognised as an Olympic sport.

Some mutual link swopping! http://extrema.members.easyspace.com It's a good site and well worth a look.

A really good Motorcycle Boot manufacturer (personaly recomended by me as they hand made me a pair of size 13 and a 1/2 boots excellent quality and only charged £156.24) are Altberg in Richmond http://www.altberg.co.uk

After years trying to find a supplier of decent bike kit for my young son I found a firm called 'Babybiker' who sell everything from bibs printed with 'my mum/dad/brother is a biker' to race leathers for 12 year olds with almost everything you could want in between. Not only that but it's good quality gear, fast delivery and cheap as well. Only wish I'd tried http://www.babybiker.com years ago.

http://www.motorbike-tyres.com have just supplied me with a pair of tyres for the K1200 for only £145. That is less than the price of the rear tyre only from some suppliers! They are decent Avon tyres, and that price is actually LESS than they charged me for the same tyres last year. next day delivery as well -- an excellent cmpany, highly recommended

A couple of good bike sites www.captsmurf.co.uk and www.wozwolf.co.uk

The most important link of all -- my business site http://www.Hmanwithvan.co.uk

Anyone else want to have their site links posted?
