  1. We on about your bike or bus now
  2. They do till the aero works against them, merc f1 can't work out what's happening with their cars with a budget beyond the dreams of any sidecar team.
  3. Yes, I didn't say it should stop, just that there is very little that can be done to make the tt a non life threatening race
  4. Might get lucky but unfortunately at those speeds the slightest error, human, mechanical or setup there are no safe places to have an off, everyone is aware of the risks, one of my best mates died 5yrs ago, not only did he know the risks he was there paying respect to one of his mates who died the year before. The deaths will only stop when the race stops.
  5. You would think that would work, however it has been tried in the past, Thompsons oop North stole there own new wagon and buried it in one of their own old quarries, the distinct waggon shape however turned out to be fairly easy to spot with the police helicopter
  6. It's more likely the speed with the leap coupled with aero on the sidecar which will be a lot worse on sidecar unloading suspension and trying to fly, very sad.
  7. 250 is reported as 80 average.
  8. What you all riding like I can get 41 out of my van driven moderately, that weighs close to 2 1/2 tonne. Bike I've no interest in riding with fuel in mind, if I had to use for work I think I would need 2, 250 v strom or electric for commute and as they say something for the weekend
  9. Prob best start off with a heavy water reactor, not sure how heavy it needs to be so best use a big bucket, that's sure to be heavy when full.
  10. I fail to see why the constant search for knowledge on here, coupled with personal attacks when you don't like the answers. You then refute 99% of the advice that's given, most of which has come from riders that have been riding linger than youtube has existed. Accusations of being a troll come from your ability to ask questions argue the toss, act like a prat then start again. I'm sure the birds need feeding and the trees need watering.

    Advice needed!

    Don't see why licence should be a problem, as long as its a full licence, mine works in the USA
  12. Hope it all goes to plan.
  13. Happy birthday
  14. If its for fun a mpg hit is irrelevant, if you want mpg certainty swap it for a 125 A good map will iron out any issues with regards mods, it's not going to drop 15mpg unless your mods include a turbo or supercharger or you just red line it everywhere for the sake of it, in which case your already down 14mpg.
  15. I can do it and have the tools I simply don't have the time.
  16. I would never entrust a kitchen to someone else now, seen too many disasters delays and poor to non quality or pride. I get that it's not practical or possible for others, I just cringe for you
  17. Have to be second only to crap builders, double glazing twats or fecking plumbers, ohhh hold on that's me. Been working every weekend to get daughters old house to a point where it can go up for sale. Worked on it every day over jubilee weekend so it will be ready for carpet tmrw, just got in from another 3hrs final prep including fitting gripper rods and underlay as I'm sure they are not to be trusted with that grippers are a combination of glue and nails and they use cheapest shit going so def didn't trust that. Anywho wife looked at your carpet is comming tomorrow email tonight, just after shop closed, noticed they have kindly changed the colours for the whole house and fitters are arriving before shop opens I hate trades people.
  18. You just pick one up when you get there
  19. 2nd death yesterday, side car passenger olivier lavorel killed and cesar Chanel critical
  20. Not only that, if you come across one by accident while walking in the woods you do it too.
  21. Already had first fatality in practice Mark purslow
  22. Special survey... Sounds a bit Russian to me. Where you been docked
