How many beers have you had!!?? Like the idea, though we tried it in Iraq and it didn't go down particularly well... :wink: People start to get all emotional and lose their sense of humour when you violate half there customs and laws.

I tell you what, riding in London scares the hell out of me. Its bad enough on the open road with all the dodgy drivers around. Visited my mate the other day who lives 5 mins from Tower Bridge. When i got home after a 40min trip in rush hour traffic my eyes were wide open and i had the same feeling ...

Ran along side - nearly dropped it when i jumped on as my foot caught on the seat hump 8O then dropped the clutch in first and it fired, nearly throwing me...

Where were you then??? Was that your red VTR at Box Hill yesterday with Leo Vinci cans??? Just got back from a week in Greece, soaking up the sun and watching the locals caning their scooters up and down the beach road. Got home and was in my leathers in about ten minutes flat and out on the roads. ...

I am going to get it done yellow, getting the paint through a contact of BarryH, veryreasonable have been quoted £40-£50 for ...

Tweaked here and there!!! I think its the weight that makes it so quick or lack of it. 0-60 i was with him and indeed catching but as soon as i dropped third he was gone. Power was just immense. I think i could have stayed closer to him if i had been in my leathers but i was in jeans and was ever so...

They were doing some PR photos for the first Mosler dealer in the UK which happens to be in Ash Vale near Farnborough. He is the first person in the UK to take delivery. Show off :cry: Says the man with the bright yellow VTR!!! And indeed there is the exact culprit http://www.autocar.co.uk/News_Arti...
