    They're quite nippy.

    Not quite nippy enough though.

    As for them going round corners, he turned off so fast I didn't see
    which way he went. The test isn't really conclusive though.

    Yeah, I was impressed by my friend's SL55 AMG; somehow I'm just not prepared
    for cars to be that quick off the line.

    No. It's called character.

    It's starting 'issue' must have been carb icing.

    "Things don't normally fall off it"
    Oh yes, very well known problem.

    OK, explain, because if you're being serious, my understanding of what
    "carb icing" is is obviously flawed...

    Obviously, you know very little about motorcycle mechanics. Due to a
    lower quality of unleaded fuel, because the only way the oil companies
    can maximise their profits is by reducing quality and increasing storage
    times, carb icing is becoming increasingly common.


    Especially on sunny days after a thrash through Hertfordshire.
