MY99 320bhp Impreza Turbo.
It kicks arse in the twisties. More fun than the bike when it's damp lol.

But I'm gonna sell it soon and get a 530d beemer. The business can pay for all my diesel then

Also got a Fiat Ducato van which is oh so handy for track days!

If you ride a decent sports bike, which is anything from 400 up, and don't wear the full kit when you go out for a fast ride then your a fool to you and your family. I wear a back protector when I wear my leathers. It is a little uncomfortable but I expect wheel chairs can get a bit annoying after a...

I know how you feel matey. I used to belong to a really big car club that had a huge online forum. I was, at one stage the 12th highest poster with a few under 10,000 posts. It was a national club and had some right characters of which I would like to think, I was one. But then the noobs started mov...

Was thinking about CSS myself. Although I have heard good things about the RH race school. But haven't really decided yet. I do really like Donnington as a track. Schwantz (sp) used to frighten me a bit though. Just seemed too far over for too long to be that hard on the noise :) I only have Devon b...

youve said youve not been on track on your bike so how do you know the difference between riding it on road and track. Because I have ridden my other bikes on the track. ive ridden a 07 fireblade round donington and been within 7 seconds of the haslam school records and im no god Pleased for ya mat...

precisely,you'll never run out of tyre on the road,abilities yes but not tyres. tyres never get upto track/race speed on the road and you dont use the bike/engine/gearbox as harsh either so dont have the power/torque going through road tyres.

I have to disagree with you there matey.

Well, GP tyres run over 100° but we aren't GP riders. Imagine you get up at 6am on a gorgeous sunny day and go to your favourite set of twisties. There isn't a breath of wind and the ambient temperature is 24°. Your on the best form of your life and your feeling great. knee down round every corner. ...

If all your riding is "spirited commuting" then I agree that you should have an ST tyre. It "should" give you better mileage. But if you do go on the odd major loon scratching session then I would suggest the sport tyre. The sport tyre will be working within it's heat tolerance w...

Why not have the best you can??

Depends what you want to do. I've got Pirellis Diablo Corsa III's on my thou which are dual compound. So they're soft at the edges and hard in the middle. A really good mix of longevity for motorway miles etc but also good when it gets twisty. And I have to say that them and the 2 CT's seem to be th...

Every Wednesday night mate.

Went down a couple of weeks ago. But it's not really my thing. Just lines of bikes. And some Harleys

Haven't sold my ZX7R yet. As soon as we've moved the dumper blocking the shed doors and I can get it out for a clean and some pics then on the autotrader she will go.

Reason for selling?
It's a P plate and way slower than the Gixer

Gixxer thou K1 The bike that revolutionised the litre bike market in 2000. Awesome power. Awesome torque. Scares the shit out of me. And mine has K tech front inserts and a nitron rear that are valved and sprung for a large fella like myself :) The guy I bought it off paid 3500. Spent over 1200 on i...

AVG here too.

Got it on 5 pc's in the office and on my pc and haven't had a problem in over 3 years.

And it's free without having to find a crack or keygen.

Did you guys have a play on the roundabout at the daisymount junction on the A30?? Thats about 400yds from where I live and on my way out, there were 3 bikes stopped at the junction and a ZX10R lapping the roundabout trying to get his knee down. Had to stop and watch a lap! I was in the Scooby if it...
