If it's that easy I'll be more than happy to pay you a fiver to fill it up each time. If you can't then you pay me a tenner.

The guy who designed the additional tank must be laughing his socks off.

is it because a fuller tank causes the CoG to move lower down and therefore improve cornering?

We must think you are more organised than you really are.

We not had a single drop of rain here for several weeks now......none of these 'serious' thunderstorms that we were supposed to get.

Nor us...we are 30 miles from the centre of London and not a single drop of rain I don't understand it...

I think Killian has rigged up a system that gives the mod's a mild electic shock every time someone posts.

maybe hes on shift rota like the AOL tech support "guides"

besides, posting irreverant comments late at night/early in the morning gives new topics of conversation for the next day, dont you agree?
