Meh, I'm the only forum regular who has ever expressed a dislike for the guy, but having read his autobiography he's not so bad. I thought he was a calculating person milking celebrity for everything it has. Turns out, he's a crazy autie with terrible people skills who just does what he wants, and doesn't really care about the consequences. I like that more than a calculating person who pretends to be everyman to progress his 'brand'.

He's not my favourite human being still, but I'm more in the ambivalent to positive camp rather than the complete negative camp.

Sorry, I didn't start it. Blame M.C

Was about 30mins too long and a bit stupid at the end (I won't ruin it for anyone). I've often pondered how I'd pimp my work van Smile When I worked in a garage we stuck a cosworth engine in a transit for someone, but the guy was deaf so it was an automatic Neutral Bit like buying a pedigree dog and castrating it.

If he wants to ride an Indian, he can do that in Leicester East.

Reminds me... Foggy won I'm a Celebrity. Didn't he do well. I'm surprised there's never been a thread about it in General Bike Chat. Might start one.

Back on topic - it was entertaining but schoolboy error re: road-legality made for an anticlimax in the actual race and there was about 30 minutes of Honey Boo Boo style "now we're off doing something unrelated" that didn't need to be in there.

Some have proven to be completely invisible despite insistence of existence.

I will.

Guy came 14th in the race because he was 8 seconds too fast.

That's what I found stupid. Surely if you had a stopwatch running you'd be closer than 8 seconds off, instead they relied on an incorrectly calibrated compooter.

Also I assume by 14th they meant last.

What I found stupid is the whole premise of the race. Say what?

The KH guys - I've met them a few times at shows and they do seem genuinely enthusiastic, albeit I'd never pay the money they had their creations up for.

It was called "Speed"

They just missed "Obsessively accurate average..." off the front

I thought that was more a classic rally thing, where if you pushed the cars they'd break. I'm sure if it was flat out race, muscle cars + slight bends would end in disaster.
