There is no way on earth that that raving poolick should be doing write ups on bikes. He's that full of shit it's not funny.

Agreed...this bit just camps it up for no other reason but blantant stupidity..

''Perhaps Honda should revive the spirit of the famous "you meet the nicest people on a Honda" campaign by revising the historic slogan to "you meet the nicest bikes in a Honda showroom". :brick:

"In his role as chief editor for New Zealand Autocar magazine, author Paul Owen regularly gets to road test the latest motorcycle, be it a new retro Vespa in Italy or the latest Suzuki GSXR 1000 around Philip Island in Australia. So he really knows from personal experience what he writes about"

FFS. He was 10 sec a lap off the other journos lap times round PI. How the fuck can you 'test' a GSXR1000 going that slowly? They don't work at that speed.

This was the part that said it all for me: "Paul Owen is Chief Editor for New Zealand Autocar magazine":oi-grr:
...its no wonder he's 10sec's off the pace

...I mean common, the latest fireblade and he clearly didn't take it for a fang...nuff said! (the rest of us would bring it back with an empty tank & melted tyres:lol:)

[Fast Eddie]

not bad, I like the lack of TC.. that shit has no place on bikes I think.. don't think it has a place in cars either..

but I guess its like those car parks that german town made just for women.. wider and better lit.

if people can't do it, then make it easier for them! haha.. whats the point in developing any skills in this world.. technology will cover us eh :D
