Advantages: The script is very original, the acting excellent, mixes drama with a touch of comedy Disadvantages: A touch on the dark side
When a local Isle of Wight restauranteur - Stuart - drowns, his death ends up effecting three people more than they realize - his homosexual lover, his brother-in-law and his best friend. Each of these three examine their lives in the wake of this death. Each of them meet or have contact with a different woman that influences their process. Does that plot sound exceptionally different to you? Of course it doesn't. We've seen it all before, haven't we? But LawlessHeart is no run-of-the-mill film about loss and life-changing situations. In fact, its about as exceptional as a film can be. But what made this film so exceptional for me?
Firstly, the way in which it was put together. This film isn't told straight from beginning to end. Instead, we have three different angles of the story, from each of these three different ...
Advantages: Handling, engine, novice- and expert- friendly Disadvantages: Some dealers less than helpful
use this area of the rev range but, once I had acclimitised to it, it was very useful for overtaking. And making me steam my visor up by laughing!
The handling can be transformed by altering the rear 'preload'. I would recommend that novices set it fairly soft to allow the bike to settle on its suspension through corners, which builds confidence. For the more experienced there are handling advantages to stiffening it up.
Perhaps the best thing about the Bandit is its handling. It is benign enough to flatter a novice, but grab it by the scruff of the neck and it becomes an accomplished A-road machine. The 1200 has a reputation for pulling wheelies and the 600 can also do this when you don't want it to do so. It is never a problem, just something to be aware of when pulling out of a T-junction.
The only downside to owning a Bandit ...

Advantages: Well written, descriptive,characters you care about Disadvantages: None
the use of extracts from Amy's diary. It didn't appear at the end of every chapter, just every few but it was an interesting insight into the mind of the youngest girl on the trip, and at times was quite hard to read. Amy is very obese and has self-esteem issues which come across strongly in the diary entries. They're the voice of Amy speaking to us, and it's the only time we really hear from the heart of any of the people in the book. Despite this, I felt as though I knew each of them well and by the end, I was sad to finish and let go of the book.
This book was a fantastic read, and I did struggle to put it down of an evening because I wanted to find out the next twist in the tale as soon as I could! Each of the characters were likeable and stood out in their own ways, and the story that linked them all was woven easily and brilliantly by ...

Manufacturer's product description
Richard Grant is attracted to lawlessness. In his brilliant GHOST RIDERS he examined the lives of those attracted to the idea of rejecting society. In BANDIT ROADS he takes this further, travelling to the Sierra Madre in Mexico, one of the most violent and dangerous places on the American continent. It is an area where investigative journalists are regularly killed, gold prospectors still pan the streams, bandits hold up trains and native tribes still wear loincloths and hunt game with bows and arrows. The Sierra is also one of the biggest drug producing sites in the world - $30 billion a year (with oil coming in second at $10 billion) and Grant seeks out the chief narcotraffickers to tell their stories too in one of the most extraordinary and brave travel books of the year.
