PS2 motorbikes games.

Are they as real as actually riding? Or just good to pretend to be able to afford that bike you always wanted?

No, they are as real.
It depends on how expensive your computer is.

I have a top of the range model that has robot arms that come out and beat the crap out of my body if I crash.
I'm still trying to source the parts for the skin removal devices if I want to simulate riding without leathers.

Dont forget that Nitro Norisan when he first came to the UK learnt how to go round Brands using a PS first

they seem a little bit more real if you put your leathers and helmet on whilst playing them!

I play my PS on my bike for added realism, but find the extension lead runs out before I get to the end of the road.

Dear Biggles,
you might want to try a PSP(playstation portable). They need no extension lead's and the battery should last for about 6 hours. That's a really good day's riding full of realism! IMO
Tell all your mates about them, and you could start a new motorcycle club - PSPMC??? Actually im copyrighting that, so think of your own mc group name....
Hope this reply help's your problem of your extension lead's.
Regard's
Mr N.J.Tank

You're using the wrong oil obviously.

Thank you Mr N.J. Tank.

That certainly seems to be a solution to the problem. My neighbours will be happy as they have got a bit weary of the three core that currently litters our road.

Trouble is I am currently pennyless due to an unfortunate series of oil related events.

Maybe I could organise a bring and buy sale to fund the South London PSMC's chapter-known as SLPSMC's

Yours etc,

If only there was someone I could get some good detailed oil advice from...
