Catchy?



You need to get out more Chris

[KevJTD]

ever been tempted?

[Johnboy]

[Kegsti66]

Is this a good plate or what ?

[Spacenut]

Yes, very good!

...But I assume some licence was used, I guess the plate is X500MPH?

Mr Plod doesn't like mis-represented characters, even if they make the registration more memorable

Cool plate , it's a shame it's on an old shed tho

Nothing wrong with them old sheds! Nearly as lovely as Suds!

[Johnboy]

Yeah nearly

[PETROLHEAD]

i saw the rear diffuser and thought it WAS a sud

[Johnboy]

what a fickin waste

[PETROLHEAD]

Not even funny

[Johnboy]

The thing is , who ever built it should burn in the fire pits of hell...... But if it was for hire in my area . I would have to go out in it. Does this make me a bad person? And defo if it was snowing

[PETROLHEAD]

Supply and demand?


So yes, you'd be a very bad person JB!

And somehow i thinks it agility in the snow has been diluted a tad! Lol!

[Johnboy]

I better cancel it then

[KevJTD]

with the TT days away ITV is starting it's coverage off with the awesome TT, closer to the edge documentary tomorrow night about 11-25 on ITV
a must view if you've not seen it

[Kegsti66]

Try and catch that one Kev as I still haven't seen it.

if it's uncut from the dvd it'll be interesting viewing mate

the opening sequence though is something special for anyone with petrol in their veins

[KevJTD]

saw this monster at cadwell today in the historic racing, had a huge V8 of aero origin, sounded monstrous with the short stub exhausts

note the twin spark plugs too, guess that's more down to aero safety doubling stuff up than for any performance?

[Kegsti66]

That is a hell of a vee
Love aero engine cars.

[Alfasixnut]

Impressive!
I saw another aero engined special being built at the Bentley specialist (RC Moss) last year - that will be a very special beast! There is also a thread on "Rods n Sods" about a twin engined (Jaguar AJ 6s) being built as a straight 12!

one for shrew,
suzuki on pole position for tomorrows motogp with aleix espargaro
oh, and maverick vinales in 2nd place
team 1 & 2 qualifying performance for suzuki

phenomenal performance at the 7th round of their debut year even allowing for the softer option tyre they're allowed to use

[Alfasixnut]

What an amazing angle of cornering!!!!

[Sud 145]

Watched MotoGp last night 61 degrees on a redhot track,the tyre performance is outstanding even sparks off elbow sliders. Just love watching the super slow-mo bits they show now you can see every little flex in the tyre.

Same goes for the TT coverage, just loved watching that.

[KevJTD]

one for shrew, boston bike night just gets bigger and better. weather helps of course.
shape i don't know half the bikes!

[KevJTD]

what's this one all about too?
interbreeding between vincent and norton?
must admit i liked the look of it, oil leaks and all

[Sud 145]

Did you hear that run with the straight-through pipes Kev?

[Spacenut]

That looks nice. There's a similar mongrel bike called a Triton that gets to Goodwood for the Breakfast Club - Triumph engine in a Norton Featherbed frame I believe. Really nicely proportioned cafe racer, of the old skool type
