Moto GP to go to 800cc in 2007

They'll do 350kmh with nitrous (I saw it on Pizza--and that was only with a
50cc donk)

Or working in an incorporated family business which means you can salary
package... (yes I knew this already

Honestly that depends upon whose figures you use. Ford list them
seperatly in statistics when and where the information is available
(from user/buyer/owner surveys etc), and yes... some of those figures
are estimates... but they do exist.

I think (don't quote me) it was more like 15 to 150

Perhaps that is true in Sydney, but many things are true in Sydney which
don't happen much elsewhere

Yes... but the chains are meant to go on the bike ;-) *runs away quickly*

Well someone has to keep the post count up with all those lucky buggers
away at the wintersun rally!

that's ok... I was just checking

I did 2500 kms on thursday and friday in the 4x4 with a trailer on the
back. 1000 kms of that there was a car on the trailer.

Except for the bit through sydney and a albury and bendigo it was _all_
cruise control... I couldn't live without it.

Yah... the prius and the baby smart consistently seem to come up a bit
short in the handling stakes. Which is part (but not all) of the reason
I'm not a fan.

Unlike JL I'm not looking for a performance engine... but performance
handling (with a modicum of comfort) is desirable....

[... a bunch of stuff snipped ...]

Get a room you two.

I'd have a different order

I'd rate handling 1
Comfort 2 (yeah I know... can be hard to mix those 2)
torque (and towing ability) 3
fuel economy 4
running costs (including insurance costs) 5
appearence 6 (but anything I find activly ugly I'd cross off the short
list).

I've got a mate with a blown up jag V8... will that do ;-)

Well,it says MotoGP in the header...

Careful or we'll get smee to photoshop you onto the Santa Clem photo...
(and clem's being looking to get rid of that ball and chain for years!)
*grin*

Yep, back in the 50s, I've got a soundfile of it at work, just amazing.

Jag don't, MB don't, they use superchargers instead (which has

Supercharged Jags too John.

Thanks mate - u'll keep! ;p

Zebs, 5 minutes from my joint to the good roads

 

Light just dawned, you'd be referring to the Bandit then ? Biggest
mistake I ever made, I bought it because I wanted something pillion
friendly (not actually practical but headed in that general direction),
quite frankly lugging the mack truck around really dulled the enjoyment
I had in bikes, but I didn't really notice the interest was ebbing. The
Raptor is serious fun to ride (and ironically enough it's a better
pillion bike from the rider's point of view (hard seat and lack of grab
rail is a negative from the pillion's point of view !) Had to ruin the
looks with a ventura rack to get a grab rail.

I'm even more negative about practical than I was !

(thinking about a Mean Streak for a pillion bike maybe ?)

Ahh yes, but I do plenty of research on the coffee quality of cafes in
sydney (not to mention the waitress quality and the scenery quality

JL

 

It's hard to knock the Bandit's for a heap of reasons... but they are
pretty bland in stock form, which is probably why I ended up spending
about $3000 in mods on mine

I'll buy that, as I argued a couple of months ago, Sydney is a different
country all together.

<shocked look> Why didn't someone tell me ?!

JL

 

But I LIKE being an exhibitionist !!

How could I forget ! I'd rather like an XJR...
