AndyMc 19 August 2002, 18:00 ZXR750 H2
Passed test 4 months ago and so far have done 4K miles.Took about 2K miles to get going but now I can keep up with my mates
Just as much fun,if not more, than my Scoob for a fraction of the price.
Every one that likes speed/acceleration should have one ! :)

Jolly Green Monster 2 19 August 2002, 18:25 That feeling of seeing something mid-bend feeling relieved it is going the same direction as you exiting the bend and expecting to brake slighly to then realise it is a tractor going flat out at 18mph... screeeeeech!

Oh the joy, that wonderful moment where the world slows into slow motion, your heart quickens and you become filled with the feeling of impending doom...

gene1 19 August 2002, 19:11 Well if its not your loving tractor driver its the "ive been driving for ten minutes"driving school learner,molly & dolly out for a ride on their tandom(matching bicycle clips) or the ramblers out for a stroll with their walkings sticks to measure the distance they walk from the roadsided(cos they do own the road you know!!!!)
Right thats my moan for the night,got rid of my anger.Till the next sunny day.
