Why go to all the hassle of that?I can leave it in the garage under a cover and not have to worry about lifting a finger on it then. Effortless ownership FTW...  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

not really hassle tbh, just quick snip of the pillars and run the hose pipe into it. then just put the heaters on to warm the water up. simple________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

I've not 'lost' the love for it, but would rather not spend time keeping it up to the standard it currently is and the upkeep. I thoroughly enjoy bikes now, so my interests have shifted somewhat. It's not disheartening knowing what I've spent on the car as I have enjoyed every single mod I've done to it, and have had/still having some wonderful years with the car, so I'm happy about that. I'm basically storing it again as I won't have a use for it or a desire to use it and don't wish to sell up. I'm not in a financial position to need to sell it, so I'd rather keep it sat there where I know it's nice and safe/warm.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Tracking it left right and centre Yeah, I get that to be honest. But if you're tired of driving it, then what can you do? I put it away at the end of 2011 thinking that the time was right. It probably was in hindsight, but I have decided to get it back out this year so I will continue driving it this year obviously, and then put it away, only this time for good. Motorcycles are where my interests lie now, so that is where I shall be focused come the end of the year.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

It's probably the clutch causing it Carl as it's a cable operation. The K7 was the first to be given a hydraulic clutch and is supposed to be so much nicer. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Had a good blast with an R1 down a 'private" country road and although very fast in a straight line, not so much round bends. 90% of bike riders seem too frightened to push them in corners which for me makes them pointless. Plus id want to stay in my nice warm metal shell. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Cars will always be faster in bends though Aaron, they've got 4 contact patches with the road as opposed to 2...You're right though, there are riders out there which don't like to push their machines in bends. I don't mind myself as for me, that's where the fun is. I've just modded my suspension actually to make the bike more suited to my riding style and I'm currently finding the bends even more enjoyable. Don't forget though, a major point of having a bike for a lot of people (especially if commuting) is the ability not to get stuck in traffic. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Maybe, a big one for most though is how quick they are in a straight line, never bothering to learn to ride corners and those two factors combined is a lethal combination. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

You have a point, corners are a large part of learning to ride. I haven't mastered it myself yet, although I'm not far off.The way I see it is that riding a bike is a constant learning curve and a challenge and that's what keeps it interesting and enjoyable for me. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Cant argue with the facts, The simple facts are that you are sat onto of an engine with two wheels and protected by only you helmet and leathers (If you choose to have them) Obviously it comes down to how sensible you are, But i don't think beez_neez_gt is doubting that. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Stans right nothing beats the acceleration of a bike. Bhp per £ no comparison a car with the same acceleration as a bike would be well over the £80000 to build and would be totally impractical day to day. The reason i haven't bought a bike is because to be quite frank don't trust myself only takes a quick twist of the throttle and you're into three figures and that then becomes you're cruising speed everywhere.  ________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

Its not just the riders its the other traffic not spotting you, it only takes one person not to spot you but in car it is safer overall and corners are more fun in a car than stright speed. There are plenty of safe bikers out there but the rest ie roads pot hole drivers are not.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

that's Right a friend riding his bike at 60 mph had a door of a parked car opened straight into him, A bike is a small target for you're eyes and tend to be going much faster than a car. I feel dangerously expos on my quadbike when I ride that is bad enough and top speed is only 80mph. always riding with headlights in the vain hope that you're seen! ________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |
