Well chaps the AMD FX 9590 and 9370 just became available to UK retailers. I presume you'll all be buying one for a very meager £699.95? Or the cheaper option at £260?

Its burning and you are thinking of dumping another 200w into the room? Thanks, but no thanks :rolleyes:

Pron doesn't count as poontang my friend :p

I want some rain only because I am stuck in the office with some poor excuse for AC (people don't know how to shut a door :slap: )

As for the new AMD chips no thanks, I'll be rejigging my rig in a month or so when I have moved and finances are sorted as I am running a cheap mobo, case and stock cooling.

Was my sarcasm about the AMD chips completely missed? :D
I dont want rain in this heat, I'd rather have dry heat than 20 times more humidity.
My finances will be at last sorted on the 23rd, no more debt and credit card cleared! :toast:
Then next month I've got to buy a car and I'll have no money ever again.

My original plan was to learn to ride, started doing it, then you know, complaints about future "family" use of travelling was dropped on my head. Used to ride an old Honda 125. My dad also used to ride, then got closelined by a moron opening a car door in a dual lane road. He never rode again.
Responsibility sucks.

Sorry to hear about your pa, unfortunately there is no protection against idiots on the road and i have experienced a lot of them while cycling in the City and its not just because a lot of road users there hate cyclists. I have been cut up by black cabs, busses and other vehicles.


There is no reason you cant have both - Keep the 125 for commuting into work and get a car for family use - Obviously If your dad is willing to car share then that makes the situation a little easier.

He said it was totally worth it purely for the nurse that looked after him :laugh:
He drives now anyway, to Melton Mowbray, which is total opposite direction I go.
Yeah, I'll see if I can even afford to run both when I've got a car to pay for. Girlfriend also demands a car trip holiday when I get one too :D

try a Honda CBR250R. Not the fastest bike on the road but it will happily cruise at 70-80mph and its got plenty of torque at lower revs for pulling away from traffic and overall a pretty agile bike with a great comfortable ride.

Its a single cylinder engine with a total output between 23-26BHP but it will easily complete with more powerful bikes around the 33-35BHP mark.

good fuel economy at 70Mpg depending how you ride and most people who i know and have heard of that went from a a 250R to a more powerful 600-750cc bike say there is very little difference between the weaker and more powerful bike when it comes to riding around town but they do note that the single cylinder was generally a lot more fun at lower revs

Trust me, weight isnt the problem, its the pipework.
Heard of the 1-3 scale woman joke?
1 = 1 bag over her head
2 = 1 bag over her head, 1 bag over yours
3 = 1 bag over her head, 1 bag over yours, 1 bag to puke in afterwards.

and your partner........... not from grantham i hope!


:roll:

its summer time tho, usually they hibernate and the nice ones come out!

or the ones mentioned above wear leggings to add insult to injury LOL

She's from up north, scottish isles, but with a Melton Mowbray accent.
Yeah my boss was mentioning setting up a Fete across the road with all the women dressed in summer clothes. Said he didnt mind offering a helping hand.
Leggings are a curse, fat people wear them here, so they can show off their bridgestone-tyre-like legs.

My DT125R was bored out to 175cc (maybe a bigger head) skimmed, ports polished, racing reeds, full DEP pipe, smaller cogs and BOYY did that thing fly.

my mate got it to do around a ton, it wheel spun on grass upto 6th gear. still would pop wheelies into 3rd/4th.

and i was doing that with only a front brake LOL (i did fix it tho) sold it and told the guy not to tinker with it anymore, he blew a gasket (which blew weekly) got it skimmed again, and the piston went through the head haha!

My Rs125 was an Rs50 import from spain which was a race bike but Uk road legalised.

i got to ride it once LOL
