I'm not allowed to use anything more controversial than a desk top computer until mid June, so can't comment. You never know who's watching.

The guy in the lupo, he got 6points? Does that not mean an automatic ban in the first two years of having passed your test? Or it means you have to do a retest or something? Did I just make that up? :S

Was a nice busa...ruined by the "police" stickers though!

How the hell can they justify a ?750 fine for the biker doing 109(?) and only a ?150 for the 125mph lupo? Especially as cars cause 9 times more damage to third parties (assuming MCN isn't lying :P)

I was gonna start a thread on this and lo behold - beaten!

Was the Honda Africa a 750? http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/mod..._xrv750_98.htm
207kg / 218kg

I'd love to see Harry Hill's version of the program.

What can win between a KTM and an Audi?
Only way to find out is "fightttttttt"


Seems the dog had to be put down after biting a copper. Well after biting a copper, the dog was full of venom!

I thought the only people who got off with doing 125mph were celebs with fancy lawyers and Royalty.

The coppers come across so slick and greasy. One copper hated Range Rovers and most bikers and a copper who was a biker seemed to like Audi drivers more than bikers??

So I now want to be a police biker and get a Hayabusa and go fast in the country and go to cafes to show my bike off.

All in all, that program will really give the anti-bike brigade some ammunition. Bloody BBC

I didnt think the program itself was that bad. Seemed quite balanced to me. Could have been much worse and much more sensationalist than it was.
