Or the right bike [GRIN][/GRIN]. Cheaper insurance, less space more economical, more dangerous, more fun and you get to wear leather.

Awful news. Condolences to all families and friends. [sAD][/sAD]

Get yerself a mid 90s Suzuki GSXR 1100. Loads of fun. Probably more than a Supe. If you like fast cars then you'll love fast bikes. Out accelerate most things on the road and combine that with the high adrenaline pumping risk that you can get killed simply sitting on it. [sHOCK][/sHOCK][GRIN][/GRIN]

It's not about max power. It's power to weight ratio. It's the same way an R1 weighing on 175 kg with only 160 bhp can mop the floor with all of you. [GRIN][/GRIN]

Yeah I know now! Most of the 'buyer' never eeven showed up. The four viewings I did get, I had to show them around myself. What estate agents about? W-anchors!!!

This suspiciously like what happened to me. It's an old estate agent's trick to get you to sign up with them. I enquired at a local estate agent in Cheltenham to sell my flat. I was only after % commission quotes. Anyway left a few details. Still shopping around. A few days later I get a 'frantic' call from this agent saying he's got a buyer who wants to see my flat. Okay! They come round and this old biddy says she'll buy it. Then she leaves. The agent says as he's found me a buyer I better sign up the contract pronto. Okay! But I point out do I really need a 12 week contract when he's found me a buyer so fast? He says it's just a standard contract. Merely a formality. A few days later the buyer pulls out. I get about 4 viewings in 12 weeks. I complain asking to be let off but all he does is wave the contract in my face and even pints out I hav eto give them 2 weeks notice I want out. A 'mate' from a rival estate agent tells me it was the estate agent's mum and was just to get me on their books. Bet he never knew his dad. BASTARD!!!

It's cos these days, they're the only ones with enough $$$$$ to pay for big productions and big film stars. Can you imagine what kind of war film we would make with Hugh Grant, Kenneth Branagh, Helen Mirren, Rhys Ifans and the other luvvies.

You'll know who they are. They probably walk pass your house every week from clubbing. Just wait up next week and bottle them.

She was probably in a hurry to get home for a sh1t.

PMSL!!! [GRIN][/GRIN]. He may as well have done a full round house kick and launch the nipper up into haberdashery.

Honda Fireblade/Yamaha R1 for for the skool run, shopping and business and a Hillman Avenger for social, domestic and commuting.

The bureaucrats introduced red tape in 2005 that stops you from doing any elecrical work like this unless you're a registered sparky-nician. If you do the work yourself you have to find one who will certify it as a job well done. Apparently.

£6 for 100 is still a rip-off. I use to play in a paintball shop tournament team with sponsors etc and we use to buy a box of 2500 balls for £15 off the team captain who owned the paintball shop!!! And he still made profit. And that was back in the last century. Mind you I still use to through 3 boxes in a tournament. [GRIN][/GRIN] Still great fun. Where is it and when?

[sAD][/sAD]Christ what a day it's been! I've never seen so many cars get totalled in less than 24 hours. Next Japfest I'm staying home.

Your Rex 7 was brilliant! I couldn't believe it when it caught fire at more or less the same place as the light blue zen Scooby only the session before yours. The marshalling was diabolical! The Scooby driver had to stand there and watch it go up. Where were standing we could see two extinguishers in the marshals pit just opposite us. So when your Rex pulled up at the same spot, one of the spectators ran out across the track to get the extinguisher.

I was there too. That was an awful crash.

Exactly my thoughts. In both instances the nearest marshals were just sunning it up about a few hundred yards away at Camp Corner (I think it's called that). For safety reasons, the 'emergency' services had to drive clockwise around the entire circuit when it was only a hundred yards from the start grid. The unmanned marshals pit was inexcusable but fortunately a spectator had spotted the two extinguishers when we were talking about the first Scooby fire. To be fair to the marshals they were probably still getting over the activity of the first fire and were looking for full fire extinguishers when the second fire happened.

I was standing in the spectator area next to the starting grid. The session before a light blue Scooby with ENT went up in flames. The marshalls were so slow to act. Incredible! All the driver could do was watch as what started as a trickle of fire from the front driver's side got bigger. Then the very next session the drift boys with the Whifbitz RX7 went on and during the first lap at same place you could see smoke and flames from the rear nearside of the Whifbitz RX7. He stopped at more or less the same spot and the driver jumped out and stood helplessly as the fire got worse. It was deja vu all over again. Fortunately a quick thinking spectator saw two fire extinguishers in an unmanned marshals pit. He ran across the track and grabbed it. Together with one of the other drivers the put the flames out. WHERE WERE THE MARSHALLS!!!!??? [sAD][/sAD]

Took 4 hours and lots of coffee yah cheeky barsteward. Wanna demo?

Not this again? Last time it was Jake now it's V..... What's the point spending hours bashing away on a keyboard getting a hi-score through talent when some computer geek can hack in and put whatever scores he likes? [sHOCK][/sHOCK]

Some kinda tropical fruit. So yam yam must be two tropical fruits.

Don't forget you're hyper extending the knee joint by squatting which unless your job is a power lifter you're not going to do this very often. Most of these posts are about clicking joints in light general use which is different.

42.8 KW? [sHOCK][/sHOCK]Is it a lawnmower?

Sounds like knee cancer to me. They'll operate and remove yer knee caps and replace them with a universal joint. [GRIN][/GRIN] Nothing to worry about... really. In most cases the clicking noise is a vaccuum void which forms and collapses (cavitation) as the ligaments are stretched. In other cases it's terminal. If you're not in pain, then don't worry.

Very grim day. I was coming back from Gloucester to Cheltenham on part of the A40 called the Golden Valley which crosses over the M5 at jn11 and about half way on the westbound lane heading the other way towards Gloucester, I suddenly saw a huge cloud of smoke billowing out like somebody's blown an engine. Then there's all bits flying in the air and a flash of rear tail light and I realise it's an accident in full progress in real time! Christ it better not bust through the armco or I'm going to cop it. I slammed on the anchors. As I rubberneck past, I saw a dark grey estate spinning up the verge and go smack into a sign post. The back end explodes. The rest of the cars carried on. I pulled into the layby and ring the emergency services. Amazingly they must have cameras cos they said police were on their way. I hope the passengers were alright.
