[John B]

[zippy656]

Is it on offer in tesco ??

Was back then!

[Lazy-Ferret]

Tesco's always have the 2 x 5l for £10, but it is the area where they sell all the Polish food, so easy to miss, as nowhere near the rest of the oils.

[zippy656]

And i do mean ALL!!

we had our own home delivery van when tesco messed up and had it up for 43p per ltr, the driver rang b4 loading to check it wasnt a computer error lol, we had 300ltrs delivered :thumb2:thumb2

[AlexD333]

I can get em for 15.99 a barrel anyway.

But maybe if i call as part of a company :naughty

[exosteve]

yes it was a great bike didnt like corners i thin down wirh 10% unleaded

didn't like corners:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol
you avin a laff.
you needed to beef up and lift rear end.
shear torque out of bends will put you in front of an r1

[AlexD333]

Yeah I'm a road bike fan myself and i find that a decent sit up and beg will spank a sports bike (same power n weight obv)

yeah did all that spanked plenty a sports bike to but still didnt like hair pins im doing the stelvio pass this june it wouldnt like that sort of road at all lol at least my new one is happy scraping its pegs

[puddle hoppers inc.]

lol, no chance! in the bends its all down to the rider, lighter sports bike is always gonna pop the naked ones on acceleration...

[AlexD333]

I did say same weight n power :thumb2

I personally prefer the sit up and beg, more of a lean angle available. My olf fzs1000 had a 45 degree lean angle she was ace.

N dont get me wrong ive had a 929, ive had trumpets, ive had a tl1000r :D

[AlexD333]

You also didn't see ghost rider on a sports bike eh :naughty

[exosteve]

big fat heavy bike I will have to agree.
one of my all time favourite bendy tight lane bikes was me gsx750f katana.
very nimble very quick.
they are now very cheap.:augie

[puddle hoppers inc.]

ghost rider rides a sports touring bike, supercharged hayabusa :D not a chuck into corner ground clearance bike, good lord i thought my zx9rc1 was old but you guys are talking about dinosaurs lol, i loved katanas when i was a kid, street wolf? will stick to my 0-60 and back to 0 in 5 seconds thanks..

[puddle hoppers inc.]

that said i am going to buy a zx1300...:sly:sly:sly:sly:sly

[judd750]

zx6r for me,
one tooth lower front sprocket
cheap insurance, road tax
it does the job

[puddle hoppers inc.]

tbh when it comes to bikes even a comuter 500 is going to do any porsche/most earlier ferraris on 0-60, sub 4 seconds for most +500cc bikes these days = happy days! best one i had was a convertible ferrari, outside a crowded pub summertime,at some lights, he came up the outside.revving it like fook... oh the shame as he had to change gear... mine does 81 in first lol

[exosteve]

no bikes for me at the mo.
if I had a grand for one.
it would buy my custom built roof rack. and my 3 inch suspention lift.
if I had 2 k it would buy a nice bike. but.
it would go on a roof rack, a sus lift, 33s. steering box upgrade and finish me boot build.
if I had 3k
it would be all the above. and a winch bumper, winch, rear bumber ,winch ,and a rear work light.
oh and I would still have 50 notes to chuck r1chos way for some stikers

[judd750]

used to have a gixer100 k2 , that did 97 in first :eek::eek:

had to go, things were getting out of hand, racing a tuned blackbird to sherburn cafe,
it got a bit hairy !!!

[puddle hoppers inc.]

a spare grand... ooh, get me guttering done :D

[exosteve]

a spare grand... ooh, get me guttering done :D

I do your guttering cheap:D

[exosteve]

I too cheap tho.
I put my ladder on full stretch. had me partner foot it while I stetched as far as I could to rplace his ridge tile and chardged him 2 quid:nenau
I never be rich

I used to think the same way about certain styles of bikes being applicable for certain styles of riding. After working at honda for the 2 years i got to know the techs v well, let's just say a few of them anyway, their riding is on a different level, some of the things I saw and control over certain things was far beyond my skill, and don't get me wrong i do enjoy a bit of back end kick on me old girl.

I remember seeing the master tech ride across the soaking wet carpark on one wheel, hammer on the rear brake only slide v sideways followed by some power on again flicked kick stand down n spun off the bike as it parked itself oh and this was a gs1100 :eek:

Have you ever seen a st1300 sideways through a slidey floor workshop at full throttle, left a big black u shape burn mark across the floor as he left :lol

Oh and the way i used to see some of the real heavy "non corner friendly" cruiser bikes ridden, the chicken strips were gone and then some when they got back :lol

I love my bikes big time, my last last job i had to test ride all the new build bikes, but there's always someone faster and more skilled than you out there.

As you will see on Steve's post, my link to my broken tl :lol mistakes happen.

[elty001]

I personally keep away from veg oil but am going to start using bio.
if all goes to plan I can get some for 1.09 a litre,but have to buy it in bulk so best get my money saved up.
