Well JimmyMc is a good rider but I'm not sure he can compete with the 1995 WRC Champion and third most successful rally driver of all time. lol But then again I'm sure John McGuinness, Ian Lougher or Bruce Anstey would have their say round the Mountain taking on WRC drivers. lol

These debates have gone on for a while and most practical tests show bikes are quicker. The Kawazaki ZZR1400 beat all-comers at a standard car drag race for one of the car magazines, against the likes of Porsches, Ferraris etc. A Ducati was tested around a track against a Gallardo for Fifth Gear with the Ducati winning (as well as costing a huge fraction of the price). Having tried both, I would have thought bike are quicker due to much lower weight, better power to weight ratios and mental acceleration. And I know none of the SIDC lot could keep with JimmyMc when he was flying round the Mountain on his GSXR1000. Hope you're all had a great Christmas and have a fantastic New Year. Stay safe on the roads.

Did someone say BBQ???! Is there going to be boxer burgers on the grill????! FOOD!!!

Protein supplements can help a hard training routine but they're not the be all and end all the marketing companies would have you believe. Getting a balanced diet high in protein, moderate carbs, low in fat and with some unsaturated fats will help shed bodyfat and build muscle. If you can't get a protein source with each meal (eggs, milk, meat, poultry etc) then protein drinks are a convinient way to plug the nutrition gap but unless you're really training hard you on;y need one or two at the most per day. I train very hard as a bodybuilder (and am hoping to compete towards the end of the year) and to build and maintain lean muscle tissue at over 17 stone means I've got to eat A LOT of protein every day and use three protein shakes to help boost my daily protein count. Just try and eat sensibly and the hard work in the gym will kick start your metabolism to burn bodyfat and tone muscle. I've tried just about every protein powder on the market and they're all pretty much the same so don't sweat about the different brands and prices. Just buy whats not going to overstretch your wallet and spend your cash on good real food. Training is a big part of life so if I can help at all with any further questions, let me know. Boxer

DUDE, WHAT'S MINE SAY? Komrade Cret - the mongoose will take the egg from the nest at the meeting point today.

STRONG DUDES!! Cret can through on the day...a powerful, but sometimes wobbly, 125kg power lift! The Machine McEvoy broke down and needs an oil change if he's to challenge for the trophy again. Top lifting both of you.

Afternoon dudes!!! Good luck to the two Bench Press combatants! May the best man win.

"SWEET" WHAT DOES MINE SAY?

I suppose it's obvious where the money for the high petrol prices is going? Brand new 06 car, remap, lots of holidays, trips to Trax, several pairs of 'tasteful' boots....... Business must be good!

Every office needs a linebackler to keep employers in check and productivity levels high. I am available.....at the right price.

I wish I'd never shown you this originally Jimmy! lol Anyone who knows me will know I worshipped Terry for ages last year! It has to be the ultimate job and every office needs one......

DUDES!! What day are we on?!? Too much work, not enough sleep! Not sweet. JimmyMc - I touch goats! Everyone had a good weekend?

Sweet day dudes!! Hammer - I thought you were meant to be ill? You looked pretty 'sick' throwing those shapes in the Outback! PSML, spotted that big white dome a mile off!

Morning dudes!! Sweet, it's the weekend! How is everyone doing? Comrade Cret, I trust a transaction can be placed with yourself before the setting of the sun?

Dudes!!! PS: Manx Minx, don't forget the essence of this thread! Everyone sweet? ....no "and den"!
