Triumph Trophy 1200cc

Advantages: Reliability, strong engine, powerful
Disadvantages: Seat, windscreen

...I have owned my 2003 Triumph Trophy T312 1200cc since March 2006. I bought it with 9000 miles on the clock, all documents, full service record and in totally immaculate condition for only £3000. This was my first "big" bike after having a series of 600cc machines. My initial fear of it being too big, bulky and heavy were reasonably unfounded as I seemed to adapt reasonably well and quickly to riding it. Having said that, I am 6ft tall and am pretty well built so I felt that I was strong enough to cope. Anyone who is significantly smaller may struggle with it. The build quality of the bike is excellent. Regarding features, everything seems to be very well put together, all plastics fit and meet perfectly and the paintwork is impressive. All user controls are very well positioned and easy to use too. The riding position is excellent...

Tourist Trophy - The Real Riding Simulation

Advantages: Well detailed , Good Graphics , Good gameplay
Disadvantages: No Online Mulitplayer

..., Learning the tracks , making minor adjustments , not running a single race & getting a bike as a reward , this kind of kills the game a bit for me... So Polyphony Digital if you ever happen to read this & you do make Tourist Trophy 2 , Please give us the option = ) Players : 2 - Split screen multiplayer or System Link Online : No ... & a real shame it is too .... Why PD can't get their act together on this front is beyond me . Overall : 9/10 Final verdict .... If you have a PS2 & like Bikes , then I suggest you get this game , or at least rent it ! , Oh ! & don't play it like a pussy .. Use the on bike view ... Hope you enjoyed this review , It is based purely on my views on the game & if you found it helpful please rate it & comment if you so desire ... Happy Gaming ... C...

Trophy - the ultimate touring/commuting machine

Advantages: Excellent riding position, Clear well laid out controls
Disadvantages: should have been a shaft drive

...Having owned big bikes since the early 70's I've been lucky enough to experience many bikes. But without a doubt the machine that is a clear winner for me is the Trophy 1200. If you are a large or tall rider (I'm 6'4" - 33" inside leg) you may have found as I did that you tend to dwarf most of the bikes on the market. However the Trophy seems to be suited to me almost perfectly. Ever had that ache after an hour or so in the saddle? You know what I'm talking about. Well forget it with the Trophy. I have clocked 5 hours solid with nowt more than a petrol stop and felt as fresh as the moment I set off. Unbelievable. The handling is also pretty awesome. Very forgiving and handles like a sports model. Amazing stable cornering with effective brakes. Luggage capacity is also quite impressive. On one occasion I managed to do a weeks shop...

The Fabulous High Life

Advantages: Great Fun
Disadvantages: None

...One Fifth Avenue is the latest novel from Candace Bushnell, author of the book that was the basis for the supremely popular 'Sex And The City' television series and film. I have to be honest, I did try to read 'Sex And The City', but after three attempts I gave up. I hate to start a book and not finish it (in fact this is probably only the third time I've done it), but I just couldn't get interested in the characters or get used to the mish-mash style of the chapters, despite the fact that I have watched, and often enjoyed, the TV series. So, it was with a certain amount of reluctance that I started to read 'One Fifth Avenue' and wow, what a difference! Number One, Fifth Avenue is a coveted address in New York. It is a grand and intricate old house with bucket-loads of history that has now been split into various-sized apartments...

Review of One Fifth Avenue - Candace Bushnell

Insight into a model's life

Advantages: Interesting read
Disadvantages: Infuriating main character

...Anyone who has read 4 blondes by Candace Bushnell will recognise Janey Wilcox, the centre character in this story. In 4 blondes, she was working as a model and basically used sex with rich men as a way of paying for her summer vacations. As 4 blondes ends, she’s 27 with a future as a screenplay writer… This picks up her story at 32, she’s got a major modelling contract, but underneath, she is still the same person. She’s very selfish, and still using people to get what she wants, including in her eventual marriage. Even her friendships seem to be with the people who can do something for her, rather than actual feelings towards anyone. Her whole life seems shallow. Even whenever her sister really needs her, she’s too interested in herself to really be there for her. Also, her new best friend...

Review of Trading Up - Candace Bushnell

Slimline World Cup?

Advantages: Good yardstick to whether we have improved
Disadvantages: too slimline - no attrition

...The impending ICC Trophy in Kenya looks to be a stab at a mini World Cup. Somewhat surprisingly the winners will walk off with more money than Australia did in 1999 when they won the World Cup. Others will surely brand this a mickey mouse event, although such an accusation would be unjust, as all the Test Nations are there. It will be interesting to see hope Bangladesh get on - they obviously have low expectations, especially as they have organised a friendly in South Africa for the day of the semi-final. It will be interesting to see how England get on, after a very good sumemr, with a win in the Natwest Trophy and the historic Test Series win against the West Indies. However a series win in Pakistan would be far better for our reputation as a cricketing nation, although this tournament might be good for raising the profile of cricket...

Review of ICC - ICC Trophy

No Sex in this City

Advantages: It attracted a cult following and inspired an immensely popular tv show
Disadvantages: Trying to make a column into a book, and failing

...As a recent convert to the popular television show, I had great hopes for this book, bought on impulse for £5, but I'm afraid it let me down. Big time. I could easily see that many of the storylines, characters and witty one-liners were borrowed to create the series, but the whole thing felt very loosely held together, with little connection between one story and the next. Of course it was not originally designed to be a novel, Sex and the City was Candace Bushnell's newspaper column, and unfortunately I got a very clear sense of this when reading it. The premise of the book was a good one, and when it was originally written, it seemed to represent a whole generation of young, single and attractive girls-about-town, but, unlike with the series, I felt little or no connection to the characters and the stories left me feeling cold. In...

Review of Sex and the City - Candace Bushnell

Four Dumb Blones

Advantages: slightly entertaining and easy to read
Disadvantages: stupid inappropriate endings,confusing at times,quite boring storylines

...Candace Bushnell has got to be one of the most successful women today. Millions will know her as the creator of ?Sex and the City?, a television series based on her life in New York. She released the ?Sex and the City? book in 1999 and that really took off, so in 2000 she decided to release another book called ?4 Blondes?. Now I admit, I?ve never watched an episode of Sex and the City. I?m one of the only people I know that hasn?t. That is mainly because I couldn?t really be bothered to watch it so late at night. And again if I?m totally truthful, I only know that Candace Bushnell created Sex and the City because I saw an interview with her on ?This Morning? with Fern and Phil. My first impressions of her were that she is absolutely beautiful and is beaming with confidence and ?girl power?.I used to stereotype authors as being...

Review of 4 Blondes - Candace Bushnell

no catch

Advantages: not many
Disadvantages: too many

...Trophy Bass 4 is a fishing game. It is to tell the truth a pile of sh**. There is no challenge in the game and every time you cast the reel into the water it is not long until a fish comes and bites on to the bait. The most fun bit of the game is driving about in the little speedboat, which you are in. The graphics are terrible and the music is even worse. This game has got to be the worst game that I have ever played on and so it definitely gets the big thumbs down....
