Which makes the Sting and Mini Master what?...

My dad swears by them up in Scotland but then they get it far worse than down here. Having said that I did read the other day that some are expecting November to be the worst winter weather in years...

You can expect a call from RBR any day now I'm sure. How does it work? I'd have thought there'd be loads of people with exactly the same 'setup' who would all be on equal points but apparently not.

I know what happened I just don't know why. Lots of jokes spring to mind about women drivers but just seemed like a weird incident for a supposedly very skilled motor racing driver to be involved in without a mechanical fault causing it.

That's awesome, I must say it looked like you did a bloody good job of it and would've definitely expected it to do something useful. Although I've done the tunnel testing on this sort of stuff I've never actually used anything on the road to feel the real world effect at certain speeds. It's all well and good knowing that at 100mph something will reduce front lift by 100 Newtons but I don't really know what real world effect that would have on the track in terms of feel.

Did you notice a reduction of front lift/less understeer at speed with the splitter?

I got a pair of Halfords advanced roof racks new on eBay for £50. They're identical to the Thule ones minus the branding. Also swapped the lock barrels so that the same key locks them to the roof rails (never used) and the same key unlocks each of the downtube clamps. Definitely worth doing if you go for a pair!

Odd story gets stranger... I never really heard what happened with her accident.

Be careful with overheating. In unducted cooling systems you obviously need a way of allowing hot air to exit the engine bay so if you fully seal everything up it can of course cause problems. Watch out for the fire risk too!!

So... TrialsAdd Ict acting all growned up?

Quite cool.

Never heard of it before but glad it's gone if I'm honest. With a bit of luck they can also now track down some seriously nasty bastards who were involved. Watch yourself Ben!!

You can see the guy on the white sports bike (at about 0:26) pulling in front of the Range Rover and casually brake checking him. You don't actually see contact but considering the closing speed I'd say it's pretty obvious they touched, although it doesn't look like the bike went down or anything.

I'm neither of those things (I don't think I'm trampy... could be wrong) and I wouldn't spend £100 on a pair of tyres.

It isn't clear what happened before the video starts as it seems something must've happened to make them have a go at the driver. Still proper mental though. Good job it didn't happen where everyone carries guns otherwise there'd probably be 20 dead.

Full story slowly coming out. Basically comes down to the squid bikers being wankers, causing a minor accident by brake testing him then him taking off in fear of his life when they started smacking the car and trying to open the door. He had his wife and 5 month old baby in the car apparently. Judging by the faggots in t-shirts and trainers I'd say the bikers were in the wrong the whole way and am ashamed to be associated with cunts like that.

I liked it when G took up downhill.

G in attention grabbing, controversy shocker. Please delete the images from imageshack and ask for this thread deleted immediately otherwise the Universe may implode.

Any word on price?

Agree 100% with both of the above posts.

Vimeo lied to me? Bastards. Where's that Ofcom address?...

Not necessarily. The theory is great- send all your waste for recycling and save energy and the planet. I'm sure in some instances it works nearly perfectly (things like metal, paper etc.) but it seems a lot of our 'recycling' just gets loaded on to container ships and sent half way round the world to be dumped elsewhere... TheCircus...

TL;DR ().

I guess it depends on what you're after in terms of handling. I bought mine new in 2006 and have done ~32k miles on it and will be honest that I haven't ridden many other bikes (TDR125>GS500>ER6) and although it is a budget bike, with non adjustable suspension etc. it's a really nice general purpose bike. I've occasionally thought about changing it but to be perfectly honest I would only be doing that for the sake of it. It's plenty fast enough for the roads, can be used daily without ever needing to worry about anything, still looks incredibly clean for a 7 year old bike that certainly isn't a dry day only bike and I just really like it still!
