Imagine being told that about your tyres before you set off.

Apparently he only had 26 seconds to hit that speed as pirelli said they wasn't sure if tyres would take it.

And that bridge has just been built in Turkey so went over it before they opened it .

He asked there president he said yes he could do it

Fair play to the lad, that's very quick on a stretch of road that you can't make mistakes on, if it drifts off course just a little it'd be curtains at that speed, big balls I think.

Fwiw, I'd deffo have a go, but the same as Jack - my survival instinct may well kick in before I saw 400kph.

... of which will actually be non-existent units, and to have a few of those actually be real. You can pick out the real ones after the fact, but not before. The Special Air Service was actually named after one of those fake units, and then after Stirling et al had a few disastrous attempts parachuting ...

There'll be deaths even after they're all automated methinks....failure of the programming to differentiate sh*t. Like you say, it's an aid to assist drivers, not something to stake your life on.

This happened before too....not a fatality, but some wreck in Colorado or some other podunk place.

I think I'm with you Jack. I would give it a go but I reckon my minerals would run out before I hit 250 mph.

I'd like to think I'd give it a go.. I don't suffer tunnel vision until I'm barely accelerating anymore so would probably manage about 350 before my wrist turns the throttle off for me haha.

248.5mph - EEEKKK!!!!!

Sounds good Cav. I'm sure you'll rise to the new challenges put before you.

What an absolute shambles. I wonder if Johnson knows there is no stomach for signing Article 50 in Parliament? He put his career before the future of the country and now we have a referendum decision that makes no sense economically with no government willing to see it through. We are ****.

Adjusted the levers and gear lever. I think a gorilla owned it before me! The only job outstanding on it is rego change and battery for the key.

And maybe an Ohlins SCU...

And maybe a termi....

... The Shock is pitted on the rod and they don't come apart very easily. He said that it is not designed to come into pieces and he has done one before and snapped the rod. It would cost £250 if everything went ok and thats nearly after market money. The forks are also pitted and would need re-chroming ...

Day before yesterday, actually mate. The days are now getting shorter, & the nights are drawing in.
So winter is indeed on it's way.
Hth.

The irony is he's not actually that left wing. What he is though is someone that actually gives a shit and doesn't put himself or his party before the people.

... track at a time. I haven't had a lot of success with Mallory and the weather though, so the recent forecasts had me bricking it a bit. The weekend before saw the usual prep on the bike and a few requests for favours. Someone local kindly lent me a gazebo incase the weather turned and Jack very ...

Lorenzo was down at 18th in the first race...

I was gutted last night watching the race - I recorded it but because of the red flag and restart I only saw 2 laps of the restart before I got an "end of program" message!!!!

... have much choice in the matter. Scotland is WAAY too dependent on fiscal support from London to ever actually become independent. Been voted on before....pipe dream, nothing more.

... I'm hoping so, but we've had problems accessing healthcare even as EU citizens, when we are not I have my doubts. We will have been here 5 years before full and final brexit occurs but as you say it depends how expats are treated. France doesn't follow all the EU rules (which is where the UK ...

... bike it is. Got white/black/yellow kit too so easy to spot! For Devils elbow I tend to take bus stop in second, short shift to 3rd just before tip in and then pin it (devil)

I would stay where you are if you can. I want to see what happens to this country before we make any moves but we have talked quite a lot about living in France or elsewhere in Europe before we get too old. The wife was visibly angry and upset this morning as she ...

I would stay where you are if you can. I want to see what happens to this country before we make any moves but we have talked quite a lot about living in France or elsewhere in Europe before we get too old. The wife was visibly angry and upset this morning as she feels it's less likely to happen now.
