who won the race? anyone beat rod? pity i didn't go your way, i would have beaten you all with my massive 1 litre engine

great effort from maria to come all the way from ipswich hope it was worth it and you enjoyed the meet. could have been a bit warmer and the massive gang of chavs spoilt it a bit, but it was a good meet

oh shit, forgot about your car i was just talking about the cavalier vs shitreon class of vehicle

would be good to have a straight line dual carriageway blat i will not play with a car on a bike on a single carriageway road with corners - too dangerous i guess my bike will do about a 11 - 12 second 1/4 @ ~ 120 mph according to various website results honda vtr1000f firestorm (superhawk in america)

you will start beating mine after about 60 mph i would imagine - it's only just over 100 bhp. it's by no means a fast litre bike, it's an old v-twin tractor.
