James attempts to kick start World War III with a bit of drain pipe, hair spray and a bag of spuds as Huddersfield's answer to Rambo takes on the German hoards. Achtung, Spitfire!
seen so many people there or so many things organised for them to see and do. True, you did have to queue to get to a bar or to get a table at any eatery and stuff did seam fairly dear, but the atmosphere was mint. I did the parade lap on Dave Jefferies

Discuss: What's harder to ride properly fast; 600 or a 1000?
By Visordown on 21/02/2010 14:44:00
Which is harder to ride properly fast, the crazy power of a 1000cc Superbike or the precision of a rev-hungry 600? We ask you, dear Visordown reader
with a good rider on a 1000, as on the roads it’s harder to use the advantages.MACA 1,000cc bike is easier to go fast on on the road because you don’t have to run big lean angles and you can accelerate much more quickly.tripod_daveAll that matters
