  1. Even if the Urban and Inspired had exactly the same geometry I'd always go for the Inspired purely on the overall look and attention to detail of the frame. The Inspired is just better. If Carlsbrg made 24" trials frames...
  2. The point of an irrational fear is that it's irrational... If something's safe but you're scared of it that's irrational. Doesn't mean you're not still going to be scared but you're scared for no real reason. It's like people who are scared of buttons (for clothes)... now that really is irrational but in a way it's not far off having a fear of coming to harm on a rollercoaster.
  3. The main thing to remember is that your fear is completely irrational. Rollercoasters are so safe and have so many safety cutoffs that there is practically zero actual risk to getting on one. But yeah. best bet is to start on a smaller one that doesn't chuck you around too much and then work up. Or do what I used to do and point blank refuse to go on them!
  4. I was never bothered by him until Lewis came in and Alonso literally acted like a spoilt 2 year old and was a complete retard. Can't stand him anymore and I hop he gets his ass kicked at every opportunity. Not really. For one Vettel may have been moving but there was no one coming down the pit lane so McLaren had no real reason to hold Lewis. The lollypop man would've already made the decision the the lane was clear as the last gun was removed- at which point Vettel was probably either still stationary or just moving. Obviously Lewis should have yielded and dropped in behind but Vettel was being downright dangerous by pushing Lewis into the other pit boxes. Exactly
  5. Completely agree- If I was Felipe I'd be smacking Alonso in the face with my (crash) helmet after that move! I think they need to introduce some kind of reg about overtaking on pit lane entry after both the Hamilton/Vettel and Twat/Massa entries.
  6. Yeah but only a little chunk, nothing major. Would've been thrown off track after a couple of cars went by. I also wondered if Ferrari had put in a request to the Ferrari International Assistance to give them a fighting chance .
  7. Shadow chains seem to be really hit and miss- I've heard of lots falling apart within a few weeks. Don't think I'd never run one...
  8. I'll replace bars and chains particularly to ensure I don't lose any teeth... I also stop riding a frame if I ever notice a crack rather than riding it until the thing shears off unexpectedly as a lot seem to...
  9. Very happy to see Schumacher being a bit shit again. Always good to see . Rather entertaining and brilliant to see the McLaren duo on top of the podium! But of course, what's the bets Lewis gets screwed over for the pitlane incident? In my mind McLaren didn't really do anything wrong in releasing him but Vettel was being plain and simple dangerous by pushing Lewis into the other pit boxes. And will Jenson be screwed over for nearly causing a mahoosive pile up at the restart after the safety car was brought out (for bugger all reason)?
  10. Apparently a few airlines have sent aircraft up (empty) to see if they encounter any problems. From what I can tell they came back saying they noticed nothing unusual and they're now trying to get the blanket ban on flights lifted to some extent.
  11. Were you bullied by a Lib Dem candidate in a previous life or something?!
  12. Except that Limar make nothing that looks even remotely like it...
  13. They've changed the video I think- it did show the first Friday practice.
  14. They have a kind of compression plug with an o-ring for friction. Link.
  15. Still, that's better than hanging around for a week surely? It's a 14 hour drive back to the UK so if you booked yourself on a ferry/train or whatever by the time you get there you're laughing. You could even drop the car off near the ferry port and just go over to Pompy or wherever as a foot passenger.
  16. Don't be silly Sue, if that was in response to my post above I'm sorry if it came across a bit 'short'- I didn't mean it to! Unfortunately David was the first of those we lost and I know a lot of the newer members won't have a clue what this is reference to. Regardless leet's make it a good turnout and a good day. Take Care
  17. You're right, my bad for missing out the or the [/sarcasm] for my Nazi post. I'd be tempted to vote BNP if we had a candidate here to be fair.
  18. I think BA should take this as a sign and sack all the selfish buggers that striked the first time round!
  19. My guess is that it's something like a 661 pisspot with a motocross visor bolted on... Don't think you'll be bale to buy one exactly like that. Have you considered a Giro Semi-MX or whatever they were called? Along the same lines... Also the 661 ReCon: Edit: Pro-tec Ace Dig? Also similar and probably closest to Vittorio's lid
  20. What's crazy is that even flights between Guernsey and Jersey have been grounded. Those things reach about 1,000' before starting the appraoch because the flight's so short. The ash is in the jet stream at 30,000'. What the...?!
