GordonMasson Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 But bananas cost less, use less fuel and dont go as fast...... As for going to the pub in the nude and standing out from the crowd not always being a good thing, similarly wearing full leathers and sitting on a banana on the high street would look pretty stupid too Hope that helps with your understanding of the difference between the two.

arbell9 Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Ducati's ... Sex on Wheels Bibs BUT I have to say that for me it had to be a red one but then i always wabted a Rosso Red 308 too Seems to be a bit of a pattern here ... Red S1, Red Ducati ..... Yes Dukes are pretty sexy bikes, but its the new red paint. So powerful it bathes everything in a red glow. When I am 40, might get one! This is what I would like though, a rocket sat under my bum. > 1000bhp per ton!!!!!!

USAndretti42 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 As tastes change over time, I think it's only fair to include new cars or cars that were considered ugly when new.
