    It is a saloon, right?

    you're thinking of the boot? Good plan, except it wouldn't leave
    anywhere to put any purchases from the show...

    I just misread that as "Lozzo's leather look's excellent".

    Matron.

  4. Nah, surely a skinny guy like him doesn't bother with the 'food'
    bit...

    "Too many sob stories"? How large has your scientific survey been?

    For the record, I have an ART can on my bandit. It sounds great, it
    gives me lots more power, and it has only a tiny scratch from a ~50mph
    RHS crash.

    I'd buy another.

    I sold ART cans at HG and have got a few mates who've bought them over
    the years. I used to get quite a few customers trying to return them
    after rivets had fallen out or the carbon fibre had cracked up around the
    rivet holes. In general they last about 2 years on a V-twin before
    destroying themselves, and 3 years on a 4 cylinder bike before the rivets
    start to exit the scene. In one extreme case I've seen TL1000S ART carbon
    cans just break up completely around the rivet holes, within 6 months.

    I wouldn't buy them in the first place. I rather rate Scorpion for build
    quality, and Quill too.

    I've said in another thread that I'm most definitely not. I haven't seen
    Suze race Champ, so I wouldn't like to lay bets on that one. He'd prolly
    lose cos he'd be transfixed by her lovely arse in front ;-)

    You are.


    [0] Oh, and if you're being a posting nazi, you might want to sort your
    attributions out.

    Then you are doing it wrong.
    Because standards are standards, and conventions are conventions. I
    don't see why you should harp on about some while ignoring others. It
    undermines your argument and your credibility.

    No, I'm only attributing people who wrote something in the quoted text.

    It isn't the newsreader.

    What you had done was leave the names of two previous posters in the
    attribution lines while having snipped their text entirely. This
    leads to unnecessary confusion amongst the Essex set, obviously.

    [ of ART cans]
    I've heard many good things of Quill, but my kevlar Scorpion didn't
    crash very well. Having said that, when I get a tuit and beg a couple
    of bands off them, it will go again. I mean, a hundred quid for a
    month's use is ridiculous.

    He does that, though. I find it one of his more appealing quirks.
    I know _that_; merely a little obfuscation.
    Absolutely, old boy. That I cannot deny; but you must chide him
    gently toward your intended goal, for he is a Bear of very little
    forebearance these days.

    You are, of course, correct. My bad, as the boys say down in the
    'hood. I would like to lay the blame squarely at the door of the poor
    contact beneath my Shift key. Perhaps I could sue the manufacturer of
    the keyboard for allowing me to slip and you to comment, thereby
    causing me distress?

    Alternatively, perhaps I could just hit the fucker harder in future.

    SFA, it's just my Be Nice To Blaney week. Don't worry it'll pass I'm sure
    <fx\straining>

    Also I started on Metformin (finally) Tuesday so I'm well fucking
    Strangelove, though six weeks could see me back to abnormal.
    But everyone over here agree's with me, so it's variety! it was recently
    touted on local talk radio that joyriders who kill be subject to Capital
    punishment. Not one caller disagreed :eek:)
    Radical politics and Road Racing, fucking lovely.
    But I do if I see it and there aren't a dozen answers already. I only pick
    up on a very few posters in UKRM and only follow up the more interesting
    threads thereoff.

    You going to get your shit up to NEC then? Preview day Friday. Beer & Curry
    in Brum. Throw up in some unfortunate UKRM's stair cupboard.

    I find it annoying.
    Just as long as it's clear that this is not *me* fucking anything up.
    It's Bear.
    For the second time this week, it appears that he can dish it out, but
    he can't take it.
