Bollocks, still a change of NT though. Judging by the reaction to their recent uk dates they'd be a great band to start off the Lockup tent or something.

Yeah i know, i cant f**king wait for NT and SYG! Hopefully make an appearance at reading too, that would be immense. I swear the NT/SYG tour was supposed to be in May but that's obvisouly changed. I was so bummed i missed NT with A Wilhelm Scream a while back

Smoke or Fire - http://www.myspace.com/smokeorfire Sounds like Hot Water Music raping the Get Up Kids with No Trigger occasionally joining in for fun.

I might be up for sessioning MK, depends if my mates about or not. If you see a guy on a silver ashton with black fatties and blue kings, thats me.

Yeah i agree, but with a bit of luck it'll be updated every so often. Useful for buying second hand to if people aren't sure how old frames compare.

http://free-du.t-com.hr/trials/frames.html Found this earlier, has a lot of the basic info on some common frames. Don't know who's site it is, but real good info.

Bugger, i won't bet ZLET'd up by then

When's PVS Buck?

I nearly got one of those instead of my S5600, on amazon for £200 though at the moment and seems to be the cheapest. Need to keep an eye out for bargains. I've checked out most that were listed in your 28DL compact thread too but none seem to appeal really. Fight for the death then > Fuji F31fd Vs A640 (if i can find one on special offer!)

Thats actually f**king great, Cheers for that! My mate worked in a camera shop for ages but hasnt done so for a while so hes a couple of years behind! I was trying to stray away from Fuji as i've always had FinePix cameras, but for what im after that's spot on. Dave - what manual controls does the A550 have? I saw there was an M setting but read somewhere else that it only changes white balance and exposure compensation?

Shutter prioirity atleast would be nice, the more manual settings the better but at that price im not expecting the world.

Bump! I've kinda gona off the A550 now, due ot the size of it and the settings. Any other reccomendations?

He's ordered a type 4 off of SuperCycles now to seeif that works but thanks anyway Jake.

http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/news.php - Look in the top left and right corners. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/category.php?id=34 - last and 4th last options.

We seem to have sorted it, a swift look through tha FAQ and weve come to the conclusion the Supercycles Type 4 should to it.

That was his plan, albeit a bit more refined not got any steel thick enough, no ali plate at all, hes only got big momma taps, i've only got imperial ones... the plan isn't going too well!

Im getting a compact camera, £150ish - its only for holidays and a backup for my Fuji S5600 on trips out in the day/at night. My shortlist so far: Canon Powershot A550 Sony CyberShot W55 Olympus FE230 Leaning towards the A550. Any comments/suggestions?

My mate has an old old old saracen x-ile in his garage which hes finally dragging out, but needs a mech hanger. If anyone knows what one will fit or has one laying around that they don't need it'd be very useful. Alternatively if anyone knows if theyre the same shape as any other frames (PX, onzas maybe?) and are listed on tarty, that's be equally as useful. Cheers very much.

So when did you fail your police training?

Can't wait to get my copy, It'll be good to have some riding inspiration before i go out riding, like when i used to watch evolve back in the day before going out!

Loctiting some threads is just as important as greasing others IMO. The brake looks good, it does seem pricey but if you think of all the 'pimp' extras like the blades and mounts it's probably worth it, it'll just take a while for people to start using it and the word getting out about how well (or not, depending on people opinions) it works.

Most people who go to the motocross thing don't know how to ride motorbikes anyway, its pretty good for new riders, and being a MX hack about day you dont need to worry about shifting with the clutch, thats only for stopping and starting http://www.mxtryout.co.uk/ - that's the one i went to should you wish to send her off to get covered in mud!

I've seen something like this with some former BSB riders, but i don't know if it was a bookable thing or just a limited promotional thing/raffle/competition prize. I'll have a google about. Who's it for? There's a few good MX tryouts where you get to rag the shit out of 65/80/125/250 motocrossers on a track for either a half or full day, and you don't even need to know how to ride. It's bloody tiring though. http://www.donington-park.co.uk/trackattack/premier/ - found that but i think you need to participate in the track day itself to go on the pillion ride. Could enquire about just doing the pillion ride or see if they have any alternatives.

But thats because no matter how deep you think about it, it's never going to be how we live.

Ok you're all going way OTT on this IMO, the fact is he's bodged his passport and should get out. End of. Morals, concepts and all that just complicate this. As for ownership, if someone has exchanged money for goods then they own it. We don't live in the year dot when we all roam around inhabiting whatever we find, we've built a society and that's how things go around here. If you want to go all fairy on us, go live in the desert or something.
