Can't be bothered with plasma or LCD. My Playstation light gun only works on the good old cathode ray tube.

£3K! Well you certainly got your priorities of life in order then.

Just because you've never heard of a Bangla-Brit or a Greek-Oz doesn't mean they don't exist. Has it occurred to you that maybe these guys are proud of their roots and don't look upon one nationality being any better than the other?

Driving around town, I'm averaging 10-15 mpg! On the motorways, I get 25 mpg if I had a following wind. Probably forgot to release the handbrake. You won't get any brilliant fuel consumption figures because you won't be able to resist hammering the go-faster pedal.

I had a similar problem and solved it by opening the fob cover. There's a small trim adjustment screw. Give it a tweak and then press the button. Repeat until the door unlocks.

Your either wearing crappy shoes or been doing serious mileage or very overweight. I had it a few years ago on my right foot after doing a load of 10Ks, half and full marathons in a year. Stopped running for 4 mths and just cycled. Eventually I was whizzing around at 22 mph average :-). Get some orthotics made up to support the arch of the offending foot and get loads of rest.

Your goal isn't to increase distance. It's to lose fat. You can lose 6lbs/week comfortably by just running 30 mins/day.Then when you're down to a good low weight start increasing the distance. Otherwise you run the risk of stress injuries of back, knee, ankle and feet. 10 miles is the sort of run I do training for a half marathon.

Sounds more like you've got a dose of something. 9.5 miles shouldn't kill you. Did you finish with a cool down and stretch routine? Rehydrate with at least a litre of water. Typically you can perspire a litre (1kg) per hour.

If you've got the right amount, I could be persuaded to part company with mine. More or less standard UK spec TT auto with 62k on the clock in storm blue. Only mods have been HIDs, TRD front strut brace and the Toyota roof spoiler.

I was at a Lotus Exige/Elise owners meet last night. Friendly lot, they had a lot of respect for Supras. And were kind enough to show their cars. They couldn't believe all I get is 15 mpg. Both Exiges and Elise are alot harder to get in and get out than the VX220. 'Slow' they maybe. They're so light and nimble, they get a bit twitchy above 120. But on a twisty Cotswold A road it's a different story. I couldn't keep with up my mate without using the entire width of the road yet he stuck to his lane the entire time and not a squeak of rubber.

After 7 years I realise the Supe doesn’t suit my driving style. I don’t use the max top end performance and get very bored on motorways where you can. As a biker, I spend most of my time on the twisty A & B roads which as many know has been the death knell of many Supes. The other week I had a spin in my mates VX220R. F*cking hell! It’s a 2 seater race cart. It sticks to tarmac like there industrial strength velcro on each corner. We went round twisties at ++ G that would have sent my Supe off into the lush scenery. It’s been tricked-up, kicking out 290 BHP in a car weighing 900 kg, it rips 0-60 in 4 secs. I need one and I’ve got this week off to find either a VX220, Elise or an Exige. Originally I took the week off to test ride Aprilia RSV4, Ducati 1098, Fireblade and R1. It's time to for a change. Hands up who wants a UK Supe?

I developed chronic malignant swine flu. Rang NHS direct. All I got was crackling. Skin broke out in rashers. Trotted off to Boots for oinkment. Feeling pig sick.

I don't know why but this thread reminds me of Tropic Thunder - "Ya never go full retard. Forest Gump, he ain't full retard. Retards can't play table tennis like that."

Car drivers are spoilt with all these gauges for everything. My 2007 Triumph Speed Triple has a warning light and that basically gives you 20 miles of biking before everything grinds to a halt. You should find a petrol station easily before then. As a secondary warning, use the trip meter. Range is about 120 miles/tank the way I ride. Don't bother with this "digital" conversion. Just because it's a number doesn't mean it's more accurate. And remember petrol sloshes around so the level would never be constant. Pointless really. Just buy the bike and ride it.

All I can say is I didn't win it. It was very warm. I finished it in 3 hrs 19 mins and the crucial 27 secs and came 2402 out of about 36,000 runners. It was about 20 deg C at Canary Wharf and loads of runners were dropping down like flies.

Luvverly bikes. A mate had one which he T-boned when a car pulled out from a side road. He never stops talking about it. You buy one and I'll buy the other. At 6 ft 5 in, you'll look a kn*b on any sports bike.

I was whizzing over to Cricklade and back to Chelt past the Highwayman at about 10 am and 11 am but mine's storm blue. Picking up some bits for my RVF400.

A very happy 46. The Supe's paid for. Insurance is only £280 FC full protected NCB. I can afford the petrol, parts etc. And unlike a lot of youngsters, I know how to drive. Mortgage is almost paid off. Life only gets better.

That's terrible news and very sad to read this as a biker. An R1 is a truly awesome piece of kit. It's belongs on the track. There needs to be legislations to prevent inexperienced riders riding R1s, Fireblades, 1098s etc. Having said that, we don't know the full circumstances. The same thing could've happened with a CG125 or even a Supra.

2 hrs!!! Did you run it backwards or in fancy dress? LOL!!! Well done.

I use Protyre in Gloucester all the time. I had a new rear tyre fitted and a repair only a few months ago. No problems at all.

Yesterday I bought a Honda RVF400 for exactly this purpose. I just can't wait. You don't need a mega 1 litre machine to have a great time. The RVF400 (NC35) is ideal. It's small and pokey and bits don't cost an arm and a leg if you bin it.

I vaguely remember this. Wasn't it one of the McCann brother? Mark?
