too much chrome:eek: no wonder you only ride in decent weather...keeping it clean and shiny must be a fulltime job:D

unfortunately my abilities are still lacking:( i'm still on the steep learning curve and picking new stuff up all the time. i'm still making the odd mistake, although the scary mistakes have been absent the last couple of months. i've been witness to some shocking car driving too though...

sweet. a euro tour is on my agenda but not yet...i don't think the sv would be too comfy on a trans-europe ride:eek: my next bike is either going to be a gsxr 750 or some sort of tourer - although the gsxr won't be much use on the touring front! p.s. just heard rooney scored for man utd...

perhaps - but it will only be due to either misfortune (e.g. an idiot car driver) or a mistake by me or more likely a combination of them both. the pleasure is worth the risk for me:D i can imagine that i would feel differently if i had any dependents though

and when they had naff brakes/suspension/tyres/handling:eek:

back on track..... i've only had two cars, a half decent old vauxhall astra and then a nice old beemer - wiki link the beemer was a 1989 325i automatic - an absolute gem to drive, although i would have preffered a manual. the only manual i saw when looking to buy was rust bitten in the...

this little bit of theatre is nearly over thank goodness - bbc link there's much more to this than we are being told, i am sure of that....at least our marines will be released shortly.

interesting site....results for me... EUAN Gender: Masculine Usage: Scottish Anglicized form of EOGHAN EOGHAN Gender: Masculine Usage: Irish, Scottish Pronounced: O-in, YO-in [key] Possibly means "born from the yew tree" in Old Celtic. It is sometimes used as a Gaelic form of EUGENE. EUGENE...

blair should be stern but there is a diplomatic solution to this. whether they were in iranian waters remains to be seen. the iranians will get naff all info from the marines, just name and number. this is just internal political posturing by an increasingly domestically-unpopular iranian...

perhaps a 'green' way of looking at it is as follows - would the reduction in carbon emssions from travellers not having to to travel so far to reach airports more than offset the increase in carbon due to more flights across the atlantic? i'm not sure, although it may just move congestion...

mine is euan - derivation of ian over the years i believe. i think someone told me the name ian had biblical roots

true....brussels & strasbourg have never been short of idiots......

anyone got any opinions on this EU/US aviation deal? bbc link US airlines will get access to the EU domestic market but EU airlines will not get access to the US domestic market. why does this not surprise me? the more i live the more i realise that when dealing with the US it is a one way...

i think you hit the nail on the head there.....as soon as china & india hit a splutter on their economies the prices of commodities will plummet too. china has had an awful lot of cash flowing into it over the past 5 years....not that much is being generated by the economy itself so a...

PBs for me sitting about 5% as well. i'm looking for a retirement pot of around 400k, once i hit that i will be handing in my notice - which could happen quickly if the premium bonds pay off! my previous employers had a brilliant scheme - i put in 5% and they put in 12.5%.....i managed to save...

yes, i remember hearing about that at the time - it horrified the country. it seems his experiences in war torn africa may be the reason - bbc link not a justification but possibly an explanation. he may have been screwed up by war but he was still his own man and still made his own decisions.

if more proof were needed to demonstrate the moral malaise that seems to infect this country - bbc link what with 15 year old kids being regularly shot and morons like those in the link above it seems that that UN report slating the uk's treatment of its kids is quite accurate.:mad: what is...

i'm already guessing that by the time i hit 60 (half way there now!) there will be no state pension. what i try to do is to join occupational pension schemes when i can and save regularly (premium bonds/ISAs). one day (perhaps) a house will be within my grasp and i may be lucky enough to ride...

god knows what is going on with the kids in that part of london. i had not heard of the yorkshire incident - it looks like that plus the london shootings were the direct results of drugs in society. the police seem powerless to stop these things happening - i'm starting to think that it is time...

at risk of further derailing a derailed thread: i've not played this...i swear by f18 super hornet as it is brilliant with a proper joystick....have you played them both? if so, how do they compare?
