  1. I wanted to go but had other plans. Was it a good day? Crowds looks large which is good. Would love a go round that track to see how far I could make it. Watching Bill up a couple of those climbs, crawling up, really puts it into perspective how hard it is.
  2. Can we talk helmets for a moment. Looking at an Arai Rebel. Arai have always fitted me the best but the test shoes green all over the top of the head and black on the sides. I know black is poor so how can a helmet this expensive be so poor on the sides. Also how poor is poor on their rating? Alternatively I was also looking at a HJC IS17. This is way cheaper and green all over. I would have got that but I didn't fancy Lorenzo or bright yellow which were my only options.
  3. Our 1.4 MK6 non tsi is very good on fuel for a heavy car with a little engine. 45 around the houses 55 on a run.
  4. Cheers but I have two of those already. Not in pink yet.
  5. Anyone have any Kaido house they want to sell or trade? I really want a 510 wagon. I'm also after cycling team cars or cars with bikes on the roof and anything Travis Pastrana. I have the Monster truck but that is all.
  6. That is nice. These ride so well and are a great all rounder. Nice seating position, light, quick enough to do most types of riding, reliable. There is a TS185 with a Motocross package on it on eBay at the moment. It looks a fun little thing but at 3g its too expensive.
  7. I have never thought they felt overly big for a daily. No worse than my Transit width and that's fine. Also they are square so you can sleep sideways across it. Standard height without pop top is good as well. Best 'average' van size IMO for space. T4s and T5s are fine but just a bit too small.
  8. 10g and he has 4 pictures and a very basic write up. You would get a very nice 2.5 T4 for that. Just a thought. I know they are love hate, as I think they have the transit 2.2, but you could consider something like a SWB relay? My mate has a 2007 and its a great all rounder for it's size. Much nicer camping space than a T5 but still an easy daily.
  9. I heard some horror stories on the 2.5s. the 1.9s are good though.
  10. Made it home drama free. Couple of bits to do before the ring but there is time for that.
  11. My god man. That's still too high.
  12. Nah. This is AS you need to lower expectations.
  13. Just read it, that was eventful. I hope I have more luck.
  14. Breakfast. Don't like Costa but they have toblerone latte and it's not too bad actually.
  15. It's not been discounted yet, that's for my brother who is just checking the layout dimensions . It's a bit shorter than my transit height wise so he is seeing if he can get a high bed in the van with decent storage underneath still for bikes.
  16. Ha that's cheating you must be using desktop as you can't see that on a mobile.
  17. Just waiting for the train now. Mrs has dropped me off. Mission is underway. Heading north, who can guess the station?
  18. Helmets are all designed to meet a certain criteria so any of them are safe to use and should perform well in a crash. The more you spend the safer they get though they also get more features like better ventilation, weight reduction, better visors etc. Get one from one of the big brands and you will be fine. I had a k series agv and it was really good. When I got my arai though it was honestly way better in terms of fit and comfort. It's all down to what you want to spend. 50 will get you a decent set of gloves. Second hand jacket will be fine, just make sure the armour is still in it, as will Kevlar jeans.
  19. You aren't selling yours after all the hassle are you. Keeping seeing that chap from Dorothy's speed shop talking about them ha.
  20. Nice. I was trying to do a swap for an earlier one I think 1965 a few weeks ago. It had a Chinese 125 fitted though. Come with the original engine, it had trailing forks not like the better ones fitted on the newer ones like yours.
  21. How long have you had these? I would love a CT. Are these 110cc?
