  1. Yep, only 20/20 games and to be fair it does say so on the ticket. Some bright spark once informed me that if you claimed to be diabetic that they couldn't take items of food or drink off you?
  2. They can't win, the OB are told to keep up arrests and at the same time the courts are told to reduce the numbers going to prison:confused:
  3. Horrible car, looks craaaaaaaap and has no soul. I'll have a McLaren F1 every day of the week instead.
  4. This thread is the most activity that the betting forum has ever had, reason enough for it to be sidelined.
  5. Stoner is going to walk this one.....maybe:p
  6. I'm happy to accept the gratitude of the masses for the abolition of the 'betting forum' ;-)
  7. Hello, is their anybody out there? This really should be the motoring forum.
  8. They've probably lost the documents!
  9. You do have to rev the nuts of the 750 but the 1000 is great, i'll agree overpriced new but a great secondhand buy. All the mags are saying the R1 is the bike to beat but i'd have to say the Honda's build quality would swing it for me.
  10. The R1 is the better bike but i'd get the Ducati 848 or a slightly used MV F4.
  11. It would absolutely **** the pitch at St.Mary's meaning it would have to be relaid once or twice a season at a cost of a few hundred grand each time.
  12. What statistics?
  13. I heard you were broke because the helicopter cost so much to service:mad:
  14. You've probably chosen the most inappropriate bike for city commuting! The problem with cruisers are that your vision is restricted because you're low down, the are not very nimble which is essential for filtering and they make you look like an extra from a motley crue video As St.Landrew has already said 'off-road' style bikes are ideal as you can see over the traffic (and at the same time become more visable to them!) they're quite nimble and are usually quite tough. If you're short forget that and get a 125 scooter, they've got storage for your helmet and gloves built in and are quick and nimble enough to not be a problem in traffic. Above all try and test a bike before you buy. How about this? http://www.suzukilowpayments.co.uk/model_dr125sm.html
  15. My point is that you'll now lose money swapping bikes.
  16. Everyday is a school day, i was under the assumption that a VFR and its sibling the NC30 were square fours! I do remember recommending the SV to Baj and his response last time, i just think that an inline 4 requires minimal rider input and thus enjoyment compared to other engine configurations, might as well drive a tin can. I also don't think an SV650 is too much for new rider, however a big single would be inappropriate.
  17. I don't understand this, you're the first person i've ever encountered who didn't like a v-twin! Inline fours are just boring, no involvement with the rider at all, just point and squirt. Square fours like the VFR's are pretty decent but i'd rather ride a single or v-twin. Perhaps you just like to get on and ride rather than the more involving experience of a v-twin. If that's the case don't ever ride a single!
  18. Although it's tempting to be boring and buy a Bandit, Fazer or Hornet to teach you the basics there is actually a bike out there that will be good for a learner, but you won't grow bored of once you're past the 1 year mark. This bike is widely acknowledged as being a great first step on the ladder and is flexible enough to be an everyday commuting bike and a weekend toy. A friend of mine rides his one to trackdays and humiliates GSXR/CBR riders who know how to open the throttle but can't go round a corner for toffee. It's also currently available new for 0% finance and is the most underrated sports/everyday bike on the market. Step forward the Suzuki SV650! http://www.suzukilowpayments.co.uk/model_sv650Sport.html
  19. Combien?
  20. Even i liked it
  21. Yep, too many sheep following the herd, ditto F1
  22. Very murky, i think that the buyer has 'rights' but would need to sue to get their money back or compensation, and i'm not entirely sure how long the period lasts for.
  23. Doesn't that post just about sum up the chasm between Saints fans expectations and what we should reasonably expect? Will the majority of Saints fans be content with anything less than some Uber fan with £100M? Or should we be happy that someone is offering to simply save the club? I'd rather they save the club and then worry about the details later, after all we don't seem to be besieged with offers. MLT involvement is a bit sad as if it all go tits up some muppets will consider him fair game.
  24. I feel nauseous, they should get a room:smt060
  25. £20k! I take it they don't think she's got long left? That'll last less than a year!
