First one is Guns n Wankers - Skin Deep, and if I can remember rightly, the second one is Apocalyptica - Drive. Rich

Good luck bruv, you're a braver man than I to trust the NHS. Rich

Ha HA! Sorted. Uber geeks Pav and Jimbo to the rescue. Cheers people, topic can be closed Rich

By the sounds of things, I'll wager it was either that you didn't put any air in the tube before putting it in the tyre, thus having an incorrectly seated tube which would cause it to explode. Or you didn't get the tyre all the way on and the tube expanded, pushed the tyre off the rim and exploded due to the sudden decrease in pressure/pinched itself betwen the tyre and rim. Other than that, no idea. Rich

Nope, havn't got any games. I'm just wondering if someone can tell me which files to delete that are directX 9.0b as there are lots of files connected to DirectX and I don't want to delete anything important that I can't replace with DirectX 9.0c Cheers Rich

Yeah I tried that earlier Danny and for some reason it makes sweet sod all difference. The dxdiag still shows it as only having version 9.0b Rich

Aiight, Had to wipe my computer the other day as a virus nearly destroyed my whole harddrive. So every program and file I had got put onto a removeable hard-drive before the computer got wiped so's I didn't lose anything. Getting all the files back on has been no problem, but with Sony Vegas 6.0, things havn't been running all that smoothly. The first problem I had was a lack of serial key but I managed to find a keygen and sort that out. As soon as I did that the computer told me that Vegas 6.0 had to be reinstalled. So, I go into the files where the installer is kept, open it up and begin installation. Everythings fine, until I get to a screen which looks kind of like this: at the top it says: There are unmet requirements for the Sony Vegas 6.0 installation It then gives me a list to select and 'install the required components.' On the list there is only one thing, 'Microsoft DirectX 9.0c Runtime.' On selecting this and then trying to click instal or the next button it tells me that 'Vegas 6.0d requires at least DirectX 9.0c' .......which is the only thing on the bloody list and won't let me select and install it! However, on running 'dxdiag' to check out the specifications of the Direct X model that I have, it tells me that I've only got DirectX 9.0b Does anyone have any idea's how I can get round this problem? Can I delete DirectX 9.0b and replace it with a new version of 9.0c? I've tried basically everything else and am running out of ideas! Any help appreciated. Cheers Rich

They're about ten times quieter than an average magura. The lock to modulation ratio is much closer than that of a magura. Rich

Diagnosis: Small piece of talus (big ball in yer ankle) got shattered off by the sheer force of impact but nothing warranting cast's or crutches. Bit of ligament damage but again nothing hugely serious. Feeling a lot better now. Cheers for sympathy. No more big gaps for me for a while. Rich

Off to A&E now. So much pain. Rich

I've met Mark. Or was it Andy Hill? I forget..... Rich

It wasn't. Square taper shimano. And its now nearly five hours later, and I still can't walk unaided. God I'm in pain. Rich

Danny Macaskil f**king rocks Rich

Basically, everything went wrong. Plymouth Crash Full video of the whole roadtrip up sometime next week. Rich

Alright mate, Managed to find a computer at a mates where we're staying. We're doing exeter today if you want to come down, then dartmoor and then plymouth. Awesome trip so far, been very drunk and been to some cool spots to ride. Big video coming. TTFN Rich

SWTCV2/2006 Thats the original thread there, unfortunately only the second segment is still online. I'll try getting the first back on but that means I'll have to talk nicely to tv.isg.si, which just ain't gonna happen Best I can do mate. Rich

Click here, scroll down.... Rich

Yeah theres a few of us going mate, would be good to see you. And yep, we're driving everywhere. Bristol on Tuesday. Rich

Rest In Peace. Rich

Coming from Plymouth (by memory so could be the odd error): Come off the A38 at the Newton Abbot/Bovey Tracey Junction. Take the second left to Bovey Tracey (I think it's the second...) go straight over the first roundabout and then turn left at the second (which has some wierd but neatly stacked stones in the middle) go up the hill for a bit and take a left (which should be signposted to Haytor but might not be) follow that road along. You'll drive past haytor on your right, keep going, will go over a cattle grid (immediately followed by the road banking right) and you then want to take the next right (road kind of drops down a bit as you take the turning) follow the road along for about half a mile and Hedge Barton is on your left (you can see it from the road as you drive towards it i.e will be able to see other people.) Hope that helps, see you on sunday! Rich

Someone asked me to put up a new thread explaining what the plan for the South West Roadtrip is as they'd got confused with the other one what with NBR comp cancellations and so on, so......... 7th of August, riding in West Bay, Bridport. Staying the night there. 8th of August, Bristol, then driving back to Taunton to stay there. 9th of August, Taunton, staying in Taunton. 10th of August, Barnstaple, staying f**k knows where. 11th of August, Exeter, staying on Dartmoor somewhere 12th of August, Dartmoor. 13th of August, Plymouth, end of trip. Come ride. Rich

Good boys. see y'all there. Rich

When expressing your intent to take advantage of a mans fiancee, its usually a good idea not to do so to man who has just expressed his adoration for serial mass murder. Tick, tock, tick, tock, where, will, the Prawn, stop? Rich

a couple of us'll be in bristol on the 8th if you want to ride then? Rich

I did have a f**king awesome ride last night at west bay, but I'm gonna have to say winter. Went on a plymouth ride once wearing t-shirts, hoodie and everything for the whole day. Nice and warm but with the cold air on your face. Rich
