Jamie dear !
You don't actually read what people put, do you?
You reply to things that haven't been said and seem to be getting confused
i.e.

What I said was

So you ride a 125 everyday? Get rid of the xevo, current ride, next to your name then.

Can you see it? Look left! Under Devon!
I admit I called it a xevo when it says x8 400i , and didn't know you had 2 scoots. For that I apologise
And this bit...

jamie wrote: and no you cant justify it by saying i can break it by 30 mph but because your bike is faster than mine its a pointless machine

No one said that.
Clive said the tmax could do 25mph over the 70 limit " But being able to break the speed limit by nearly 116mph does seems a little bit pointless....to me."
You're making stuff up!


And no , I'm not 12, I'm old enough to know how to use the quote button to make a point.
And I take size 10
Now stop it dear

At last!, it took 4 pages but we finally got there.

But how many of us only purchase items according to our needs?
Our entire societal system is based on acquiring and using things we do not need.

A standard saloon car just can't pull a horsebox through a muddy field, which is why my wife has her Freelander.
True she doesn't need one because she doesn't need a horse either, but it's not recommended to say so in her presence....

I would but my 2wd car won't get up there!!!

Seriously though, I was just making a light hearted reference to the 4x4 thread, all taken in good humour I hope

Surely the horse is the perfect thing for going thorugh muddy fields? Oh and makin glue

But you can tell her...

Apparently the muddy fields are always better when they are at least a gallon and a half of diesel away and well out of range of the horse.
Every time I look at the horse I wonder how much charcoal would be needed to barbeque the flipping thing.
