Giant white sturgeon. Oh and despite the US being famed for long straight roads....they do have some curves

Ok and now to the big fish Went for a days fishing on the Fraser river while in British Columbia..... What a day!!! Managed to hook play and land a true monster! It took me 2 hours to play on stand up an fight tackle (no chair or harness) and I was totally beat by the end of it. But it was so worth it. 11 feet long! 5 feet round the middle and an estimated 600lb!!!!! Here are the pics

Just back from my holidays in the san fransisco east Bay Area and a quick 4 day trip up to Vancouver. Wow what a trip. Had the father in laws toy to to use for our trip and what a toy.

getting shot of the Porker for another 350 / 370?

Blue IS the fastest colour

listen to the man.... honestly not worth the problems you will encounter

not quite true.... you CAN buy spoilers direct fit outta the box for the roadster.. i prefer the nice and subtle lines of a low spoiler to a huge Nismo type one

black or midnight blue coupe in the car park last night

if you liked the TLR try and get a ride on a TLS had mine flowed and tuned, power commander and full race system.. was an absolute animal and was so much fun to ride if a little dangerous! it would head shake and twist and buck at the slightest change in road conditions... nearly threw me off just for accelerating out of a corner numbers of times but i loved it! the noise and the feel of the V twin power curve was great. and the wheelies decided it was going to either lose me my licence or my life so i sold it and got my first 12r... had that tuned and with a full Akra system and a few hours on the rolling road saw 170bhp at the rear wheel and an indicated 216mph bouncing off the limiter on the rolling road calmed down a bit now.. gone back to a limited although still tuned 2005 12r which doesnt quite have the same punch as the 2000s... toyed with getting a mille R for the V twin feel but the 12 just suits me so well

do yourself a favour and dont get a harley as a first bike. they can look cool and sound great but they are a pig to handle / ride and wont make your learning experience very enjoyable or easy. yes you will have passed your test and you may think thats all the learning you need to do but believe me you will continue to learn and make mistakes for a very long time after passing your test i have ridden for years.... ZZR 600, Bandit 1200, Exup 1000, TL1000s (prob the most fun i have had on two / one wheel), ZX9r, and 2 different ZX12r (fastest i have ever been!) and have also had the pleasure and at the same time dissapointment of riding a Harley Fat Boy (Terminator bike) while in the states one year. dont get me wrong it was great! loads of noise burbling round town but as soon as you got it up to any speed or into any corner it was aweful to the point of being quite hard to ride) having spoken to a few guys that have ridden both they all say the same thing. the advice above about getting something like a fazer 600 or the like for a first bike is spot on! the handling and the bikes manners will help you not hinder. also i hate to say this but you WILL drop your first bike at some point... it just will happen... prob better to drop an unfaired and possibly well crash protected and cheap to repair fazer 600 than a quite expensive to repair Hardly ableson every year i toy with giving up the bikes... and every spring on my first ride out of the year i remember why i love em! good luck and safe riding whatever you decide to get

hello bud, you dont say how you are getting over? ferry to calais? le havre? to be honest the roads in northern france ore not the greatest driving roads in the world.. the odd suprise can be found though i have found that the old coast roads tend to be much more interesting than many of the inland roads. northern france is very aggricultural so tends to be quite flat with straight flat roads but head to the coast and there are some intersting bits to be had. i was happily suprised how good the road from calais to boulogne sur mer was as an example if your near a vist to Honfleur is recommended.. not for the driving but its just a nice town for future referance the Ardene area has some fantastic roads and scenery to go with it and is only a couple of hours from Calais have fun and dive safe

parked to the rear of the Hampton by Hilton hotel in croydon parked accross bays 14 and 15 will post a picture later

i got it from the spoiler depot in the states (spoilerdepot.com) and had it shipped over and then painted local to me then bonded onto the boot rather than bolted. its a great fit and am very happy with it

bootlip spoiler makes sooo much difference if you ask me... but i am biased

Should have been Hammstein for a hamster surely

if you stop being a V Power snob there are a few options... i filled up the bike with Esso Supreme with no probs and no sign of a shortage at the Hayling Down service station just outside Purley on the A235 by Capella Court (funny building in the middle of the road) yesterday.. big plus is that they are generally one of the cheapest around too

last year was the first year i insured with Admiral multicar (have 3 cars to insure) and was told the same thing.. they applied my NCB to the 350 and my Wifes NCB to her car then i had to have no NCB on my fishing car (Saab Aero) but this year when they were not as cheap as a couple of others i called them to see what they could do and they matched my NCB from the 350 to the Saab without me even asking bringing them in cheaper then everyone else so it CAN be done its just if they want to or not

Black coupe slyfield industrial estate Guildford (parked up) Silver coupe south of dorking on the A24 (i flashed and did a little wave and you ignored me ) GM coupe in dorking high street (i waved you waved and all was good) Black Roadster redhill and i see a Silver Coupe parked up in Linkfield lane in redhill all the time i was in my Azure roadster with the roof down and loving the sunshine

Yes..... Yes i do now where do i get me a pair.......

Bit of a fiddle taking the bumper off without taking the wheels or the arch liners off but it looks so much better in my opinion Just had to share.

Ahhhh that's better!!!!
