As a 30 something year old born in the 80's I would totally ride round on that thing today and think I looked the dogs b0llox!

Spoiler

(the reality would be a lot different though )

I does have a rear brake, and a reg number, the builder kept the original frame number.

Well it is parked on my drive but it's my son in laws, 209BHP, 190 MPH, 0-6 in 2 point something seconds, it's a 2016 I think and he bought it in Feb for £19k.

You must have money to roll into fat ones Tatty

I hope he is careful on that, very nice as it is.

Thankfully he paid for it, or to be exact he still is over 5 years, he sees it as an investment as he bought it off a workmate who was in a spot of financial bother, it's a special edition and he got it for £8k below list price, the last ones built of this model were 2017 and a 2017 used on today can cost £30k I am more of a 4 wheelie bloke myself.

Just got to post this for your delectation, what a gorgeous piece of work. Engine mount, and down tube/headstock is original frame, the rest is custom.

Would recommend some sort of 'chain guard' or protector to stop unwanted accidents and things that might jam up the drivechain.

On a side note - youre welcome to join me for this in two months time although some people might call you a cheater. My friend that i usually go with decided that he didnt want to be my friend anymore after i gave him a bollocking last year about not turning up to a group meeting i was having and making arrangements for the journey. Oh well. more room in the car for the ride home for me!

Some people are so fragile

Nonsense. the UK cops dont have time for that

Depends if they can fine you for it or not, if so then they're all for it.

Any guy dating my daughter would be told to F off if he turned up on one of those and thought it ok to risk her life.

Not sure about chainguard, but in the UK you can get a day mot i believe, that does not even require lights, and 50cc scooters/mopeds do not require a speedo either.

Being scared of big numbers isn't really that logical. He could be a very sensible rider who only rides fast on track for all you know. Same as how I have a 200mph capable car but don't go stupid on the road, if I want to go fast I make a trip to Germany to visit the Nurburgring and autobahns and do it legally and as safely as possible. If someone told me to F off because I had a fast car I'd be very confused, because chances are I'm a safer driver than the person getting emotional over nothing.

@Tatty_One , your son in law has excellent taste in bikes idk if he'll make much money from the 'investment', but at the very least he shouldn't loose any, so fair play I guess!

Pull your head in, you're a Moderator, keep your personal opinion to yourself.
Where in my post does it say I am scared of big numbers, where's the evidence I am getting emotional over nothing?
If you don't care about your childrens safety, that's your issue.

Well, good point...……..
1. He is married to her and didn't have the bike when they initially met.
2. She has never been on it, she don't like motorbikes.
3. Otherwise I would have been worried also to be honest.
4. Moderators are also members, personal opinions are allowed providing they are not biased.

More like eurotrash (if you remember the program) contest

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Eurotrash was a lot more entertaining, It needs to come back. The same with Trigger Happy TV

Would love to get back into Guild Wars..if only I didn't get hacked after stop playing after many years.
Wish I still had screenshots as I was very proud of what I managed to get when I played.
Anyways while trying to find some old screenshots, I did find a photo of my 3rd graphics card after ATI X800:

When I got hacked and customer support refused to restore my account or give me some plat to carry on. I spent £20 on gold selling websites and bought enough ecto or zkeys to rebuy everything I had.

Some things I could never rebuy given the age of GW1 and how small the current community is. A lot of areas are no longer farmed

Yes it's against ToS but why should I be punished for it when I wasn't the one tht asked for my account to be hacked?

The irony is that even a game like runescape will restore your account if you get hacked. And that game was free

I couldn't be bothered to deal with that as I'm more frustrated in losing my weapons that took me hours to get through trading.
I had a near perfect Long Sword which had the basic Long Sword appearance which no-one liked but I did and then the 15k set armor that I worked hard to get.

Anyways...I got rejected for "higher pay" role because my technical knowledge doesn't match with my programming skills, don't know if its just me that just forget about it all once you start doing something and then question why you did it this way with no "technical" reason to back it up.

Oh lol... I lost a loooot more valuable stuff than you did friend obsidian armors, Nightfall armors, other elite armors, fiery dragon swords, Zodiac weapons/shields, Voltac spears, chaos axes -- All this stuff i had MULTIPLES of and these just made up a small portion of what i had that got stolen. Not even going to mention the stacks of ecto i had in storage because i farmed like mad at one point in the game... All gone.

In fact that £20 in ecto wasnt even enough to restore half my account and i was fuckin pissed I quit the game but it just kept eating and eating away at me, i couldnt stop thinking about my account and got angry CONSTANTLY everytime i thought about it or friends were chatting about the game. I was being pushed into depression. Like when i tell you i was hearing voices, i was hearing voices lol, my condition was that bad. It carried on like this for 8 months and i think my hate and negativity towards GW1/Anet/NCsoft was starting to leak out to other friends and they knew i couldnt let it go so they banded together and gave me more ecto, plat and zkeys to rebuild. (I did pay them back though - so it wasnt like i took all their stuff and never gave it back!)

I still never managed to 100% rebuild my account though, some items you just cant get anymore because nobody farms those areas for drops. Armors are easy to replace/obtain.

Those were some real dark 8months but if youve spent 7-8years playing the game and built up a sizable collection of stuff to see it all gone one day when you log in - you'd be mad too, and seething when customer support refuses to help you get back on your feet.

Sorry to hear about the job though. But if your coding worked but you couldnt recall why then you should've just laughed or chuckled and said "there are methods to my madness". Maybe the interviewer would of thought "maybe this guy isnt so crazy after all" youre hired!!

I can't remember what set i've had but I know I had at least 2 Elite armor set, 1 for my Warrior and 1 for my Assassin. Had fair amount of green and yellow rarity weapons for both characters.
Finished all the main campaign with exception of First one which I was stuck on the last area of the world.
Yeah that pretty much it, it happened when I haven't been active in years and you sign in and realise your char is naked lol.

I know how my code works thats the thing, its just the minor niggles of why this language does it this way or what modifiers they have available and brief explanation.
I just use them on the fly and know what i'm doing is correct way as it works.
Oh well, I wasn't exactly looking so i'm not in major loss but it is a kick in the ass to memorise these stuff to go with the programming itself so that will be a on-going thing for me to do and also doing small logical thinking test as I suck at those.

So who's voting tomorrow??

 

[dorsetknob]

Well i shall be voting

a Healthy smackdown in the EU elections will show the National Politicians how the general public still feel
