OMG! That looks awesome, makes me want to wack out the troy lee and the TT bike and have a go myself. I hit 58mph in all in one lycra. How do you enter?

2 stroke, new clutch £80, full engine rebuild £300. Even though they break they are cheap and easy to fix. 4 stroke you will be looking at a lot more for a rebuild.

I've got through 7 clutch levers since last year!

If you look at 4 stroke then look at 400 – 450 cc but with 2 stroke 250 cc should be fine.

Mine is 2004.

8 quid for a tank, that will last me an outing. Sometimes I need two. Parts aren't too bad. Cheap compared to mountain bikes! You can fix most of it yourself and around £80-£150 a shop service (once a year).

Can cost if you get the upgrade bug. I now have a full dep exhaust, rethal bars and other goodies.

Yes, I have husky 125 2 stroke. So much fun and not a waste of money at all, in fact it's one of the most fun toys I've ever bought.

I would like something bigger as it's not quite powerful enough now I've got quite good. It's a challenge riding a 2 stroke, you have to keep in the power band a 4 stroke is a lot easier.

I think seeing Contador hasn't attacked in the mountains Armstrong has the upper hand. It depends if Contador goes for it in the alps, but the alps climbs are better suited to armstrong then the pyrenees.

It's going to be a tight race.

I have a Husqvarna two stroke and I love it. It needs a bit of maintenance but it out performs a Honda/Yamaha by quite a lot. The parts aren't too bad and you can source anything from Husky sport.
I was out yesterday; it was great fun sliding around in the mud.
KTMs are also beautiful and great fun to ride, but if you want it for commuting you may want something a little mellower. For commuting look at 4 stroke, it isn’t fun riding a 2 stroke enduro on the road with all the power at the top end.

Wheels and tyres are always good they will add a bit of speed.

Armstrong looked like he wanted to kill someone in the interview after, I reckon not planned. Armstrong may come back on the flatter stages.

Post it!

I have a San Marrco I like it. I have heard really good thing about the Specialized toupe, but they are quite pricy.

If it's bothering you definitally change it, bad saddles cause a lot of damage.

Oh is it Armstrong on EPO? Or Contador splits from Astana? The possiblities are huge.

Can't argue with that:

Maybe he’s tired.

Not nearly as good as the European Rally drivers, just look at Loeb for some real class.

Tight all in one lycra, god it’s good being on holiday!

My sister went in my classic MG and bought her dress for about £40. There were a lot of hummers etc, but some people went in a 1950s bus.

Mine was good, but only because I went with a girl who is now a 6’3″ catwalk model.

Me too hobo.

A lot to learn about economics you have my young apprentice. NVQ level 3 you already have, but it is the business force you lack.

I have new game, try to answer every line in context with a line of lyrics from a song. So far I’ve managed Mama Mia and Fresh price of Bel Air.

You’re right. One went through a very clear red light just infront of me earlier.

I don’t really mind who wins, I just want the race to be as goods as all the hype suggests.

Yes it does because it means £20k of student debt I will have to pay.

Prodigy are better.

grahamt – I reckon is because his feet get very hot. The bike kicks out a huge amount of heat behind the fairing. Just a suggestion though.

Just get a small (400cc) motorbike. You can ride them easily and you have a bit of power which is nice. Scooter = death.

Simple solution – watch motogp, better racing and less politics.

I wonder whether the people who told him to 50 concerts were possibly to blame, 50 acts of an already ill artist would cause a lot off stress leading to a heart attack.

My whole family live there, if you have good security in a decent part of joburg you will be fine.

They armed response unit are very very good. The only problem now is Zuma, lots of white south africans want out because they feel he may be the new Mugabi. Whether they are just paranoid or if this will turn into reality is unclear.

There are lots of very good private schools around the area where the standard is as good as or better than English education, the standard of live is very high and you will enjoy yourself on a UK salary.

If I got the chance I would, but bear in mind that when my parents had me they moved back to the UK because didn’t feel it was a good place to bring up a child.

Freeriding.

It has a large source of tritium, which is used in the fusion process. This is the major reason the US are starting new moon missions. The shuttle holds just about the right amount to power America for a certain amount of time I cannot remember.
