I won a backmarker and everyone laughed heartily.

Quote from mrbogeyman :

He isn't allowed out of his cage unfortunately.

I shall be reporting his keepers to the RSPCA for treating him in this way.

An animal shouldnt be locked up for life, he should be allowed to roam free like the rest of us!

Why isnt kidcodea on the list?

I'd like to meet him, he seems like a very nice guy.

Im a great runner. But only when the police are chasing me.

Quote from danowat :

Just got word from Lings, she has been on the phone and is now denying any responsablitiy, saying I was overtaking a van, what a load of BS.

Not suprised one bit that the silly blind cow is trying to wriggle out of it.

Happens all the time "yes, it was my fault" while your stood infront of them, soon change their story once they realise they will lose their NCB and their insurance will be going up.

People wonder why most car drivers are hated by bikers, you've just found out why.

Quote from danowat :

they didnt actually say much, not really much they could say really.

They were just being polite.

You can be certain that they called you every name under the sun once you'd pissed off.

Quote from Tristancliffe :

Did you have your headlight on?

Makes no difference in most cases, still pull out on you...

Quote from v4forlife :

at least it wernt your bike, lol.

Thats next months post.

Your driving instructor should teach you everything you need to know.

Anyway, my advice/pointer would be - Try not to crash...

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

That must have been hard, for ISI to make rFactor more Arcade-esque.

Making arcade games comes naturally to ISI, wont have been too difficult for them...

Bit of T-Cut and it'll be good as new...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Night Chris, you big hairy hunk of love

Get a bloody room.

Gelled back hair, black leather jacket, MX5, bit of a poser.. Should have seen it coming really...

Stadium truck, and a few tracks to go with it, or a buggy of some kind. Something built for one reason only, to go across very rough terrain as quickly as possible.

We already have enough fast road cars for now imo, time to get something different in there!

Rofpmsl.

That'll be £100 please, labour charges.

Vain needs a visit to his local fishing shop for some better bait.

Quote from micha1980de :

there was a vid about some golf3 (?) with 2 engines too 1 in front 1 in the back (trunc)...

looked funny how he let his opponent get the headstart, and overtook him in preety short time..

Did it have two exhaust's coming out the back, just underneath the hatch/boot? Sky blue colour?

If so, its a mk2. I've seen it IRL at a VW trackday me an my old man went to a few years ago. Fast as Fcuk, sounds awesome too. They did a twin engined mk1 also.

Btw, heres a small video of the "Smartuki" on the track. http://www.flurl.com/uploaded/Smart_17422.html

Quote from Kencan :

In Canada, we frown on these sorts of things.

Good job none of them are in canada then, eh?

Quote from mrodgers :

I had one fall on my bike.

Come back when you've got a decent crash story. Ya big girls blouse, i've had worse crashes in the back garden on a minibike.

Quote from mrodgers :

A different motorcycle topic I was wondering about. Over here in the US, it is pretty much a given that every rider waves to another rider as they pass. That can make it a bit difficult when you pass those 20 bike riding groups, LOL. But I was wondering if this is customary in other countries around the world?

Most over here give a little nod, but some wave, or stick a foot out (i think the foot out guys want a supermoto/crosser deep down.)

Quote from Forbin :

Plus the wait was something like 2 hours.

Thats why i hate going to themeparks.

You stand there for hours, usually in the rain if you're in the uk, and the rides over in less then 20 seconds.

Repeat this for every other ride and it really gets on your nerves.

I would say the "protection" people wear gives a false sense of security to far too many people.

"I've got a helmet, leathers (colour matched to the bike, obviously.), backprotector, boots, gloves, if i crash i'll be fine." - Then proceed to ride like a complete idiot everywhere.

You hit a car at 150 mph, and i really dont care what gear you are wearing, you will be very seriously injured. If the first car you hit doesnt do it, the 2nd/3rd that runs over you, or that pole you hit while sliding on your arse, will do.

I've ridden without gear (offroad mind), and i found i take far less risks then i do when wearing my gear. No jumps, no wheelies, and much slower speeds. Yes, i've been hurt when not wearing gear, but i've been hurt worse when wearing it because i was riding that much harder.

And back on topic. Good luck with your DAS. Im planning on doing mine this year, got to wait till august though.

Quote from Forbin :

Ive stood at the bottom of that.

Was you too scared to have a go?

The technology currently being trialed for rollercoasters is looking very promising btw. Expect much bigger, better, and faster rollercoasters in 10 years time.

Yep, i like em. My dad used to work at lightwater valley, flamingo land, and the local fair held here every year. I used to get free goes on all the rides.

Would love a go on this. 4/5g's of acceleration in less then 5 sec to get to the top. Thats the same sort of G's army fighter planes use to get airborne.

And they expect everyone else to stick to the rules when they dont even stick to them?

The police farce are the biggest hypocrites i've ever seen.

Well said.

Sorry to hear about your brother. R.I.P.

Quote from v4forlife :

also, anyone heard about people complainign about the st gearge cross?? apparently, if you wave it in public, your racist.

Aye. St. Georges flag is apparently a racist attack when in wales. LOL.

As much as i hate the flags currently all over peoples houses/cars/pets ect due to the footy, saying its racist to wave a flag is taking things a bit too far.

Quote from mrbogeyman :

bring on the nanny state

Too late, its already here, and has been for some time.

Accident rates will not drop one bit with these new speed limits. Infact it will most likely increase them, due to people spending more time looking at their speedos, instead of looking at the road ahead, as mentioned in the link.

One car tyre + one litre of petrol = Bye bye scamera.
