it's always different for me it can be as little as a 5 mile round trip or a 550 miles trip, or more when i got abroad.

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

Rotherham, South Yorkshire

38 miles each way! Rotherham to North West Leeds. Leaving at 6.40 I do it in 45 minutes. Leaving at 7am I do it in an hour+. The M1 from wakefield to Leeds is a Joke!

IF I leave work by 4, I'm normally in by about 4.45. If I leave at 5, fook knows! anything between 6 and half past!

That works out at 76miles a day, and at best 1 1/2 hours travelling. That is unless somebodies has a crash, then I'm completly fucked!

For 8 months of the year I'm ging to college which is about 8km*. If I take the bike it's about 16 minutes in (uphill) and 11 home if I take the bike. Can be upto a half hour if theres traffic and I'm in a car.

For the other 4 months I'm in work which is 7km*. 12 minutes there and the same back on the bike. I never take the car to work.

7 miles. 6mins to 20 mins depending on traffic.

But has been done in just over 3 and a half mins in an mr2 with a turbo added on for good measure.

I dont fancy being in the passenger seat of that thing again.

i'm about 4 miles away so anywhere between 6 mins when the kids are off school and 45 mins when the little shits are at school and the moms are clogging the roads.

going to get me fat arse back on the bike when it warms up a bit though.

then anything up to about 200 miles while i'm at work, usually only around 100 though.

First mini turbo to get in the 12's & site perv

Herefordshire

When I was at college the past couple of years I had a 54 mile round trip-however this was on one of my favourite roads ever and was cracking fun I used to be able to out run big motorbikes on it

anyway just take the job if it sounds interesting. You can always change but itll be money coming in and stop you becoming a bum
