What is a fizzy?

You do realise that if Phil wins this we'll all be given Maths homework to do? Is that what you had in mind? Because that's what you've done.

Phil's turn again anyway. He's off looking up bikes after your 'clue'.

Nope, I don't have a camp, I like some of both; as I said, we're more enlightened at TPF; Mine's a VFR800i, I just always liked the look of the Vmax (though not for taking round corners!).

Major ouch, both for you and the fact it was at 5 days old :crying:

I was thrown by the "worse than a fizzy" - am now struggling to think of worse ones; was the moped-style one with the awful white leg-guards a Yam? (am thinking it was probably Honda though...)

Do you think Phil is calculating the highest number in the world so that he can divide it by infinity and multiply it by a black hole so that he can ask us the next question?

And then add the square root of a triangle. Yeah. That's why you need me to win.

But I'm spending X hours driving to London this evening so won't be playing. By the time I log in your and Owen's brains will have exploded all over the forum.

Nope, just busy working; I do have a [non-math] question ready though, in case I accidentally provide a correct answer.

ok, giving in and using google, I don't remember other baby Yam models: T80?
