I like your potrayal of stewy as some sort of dark angel of death. It's definitely his fault that bad things happen in the world.

How is it not true? A 5 second Google search would tell you otherwise.

Everyone contributes to this

How da fug have we gotten into speaking about African kids on a motorbike forum?

Really like come on now.

I would much rather talk and post about bikes,mods,riding style,motorbike bargains and stuff like rear wheel drifting and wheelies around the back of Dublin Airport on the s1000rr.:D

Also the Nifty Fifty race this Saturday in Mondello Park at 11am for charity.:):):)


Lads n lasses,this is a motorbike forum.As in we post about MOTORBIKES and MOTORBIKING
Try remember that please.

Are you for ****ing real..?:eek:...you don't want to feed greedy toll companies but have an expensive bike,gear,you pay greedy oil companies,tax,etc etc...you can you afford this while you're sending all your money to feed African children ,possibly ignoring the starving people on your own doorstep...are you Bono, :rolleyes:

Where did I say that I have an expensive bike and gear? You will find from my posts the opposite is true. I don't like paying the tax but it is necessary in order to avoid breaking the law. I use a relatively cheap bike and gear and it is the best method of transport for my needs, better than public transport or a car. If I did not use the bike I would be sitting at home and not contributing to the society as I couldn't afford it.

I would like to but my reputation is probably not the greatest in this forum as I can see I am being outspoken, so if I did, then I would just expose myself and since I ride in Dublin a lot it would compromise my safety not that I really care but I value my privacy. Stewy I love your s1000rr what year is it and why did you choose s1000rr instead of hp4? Hopefully I can get hp4 soon as I believe it is an amazing bike. Unlikely to find one in Ireland thought so pretty sure will have to import from UK

I have 300cc kawasaki ninja abs which is like a toy compared to the R1 or bmw, felt like a rocketship for the first month lol, now feels slow as hell so looking forward to moving on to a bigger bike however can't for a bit more due to regulations. Abs safed me couple of times already due to my own stupidity such as filtering at 60 km/h past stopped cars(learned my lesson) or a van turning in front and me thinking that he saw me.

Go on then. Source a statistic for African child deaths from hunger in 2016. It should only take you 5 seconds.

If I was starting out again I'd be more than happy with one of those Kawasaki 300 Ninja bikes.

I meet one on my commute (Navan Rd) most mornings, the thing can shift and sounds great even on the original exhaust.

My first bike was a Yamaha DT175 back in 1985 followed by an RD125YPVS the following year and those Ninja's would piss all over those old bikes.

Knew you were a hooliRD baby, yes!
Not sure they'd piss all over them, the RD with the obligatory Micron, K&N and a file were little rockets (til they melted anyway).

Globally 161 million under-five year olds were estimated to be stunted in 2013.
The global trend in stunting prevalence and numbers affected is decreasing. Between 2000 and 2013 stunting prevalence declined from 33% to 25% and numbers declined from 199 million to 161 million.
In 2013, about half of all stunted children lived in Asia and over one third in Africa. (UNICEF et al. 2014b)

You mentioned "African children who are dying". Now you're quoting stats for stunting. Goalposts totally moved.

Also, if stunting is decreasing but stewy is buying more bikes, surely that indicates that stewy should keep buying bikes until all the world's children are tall enough for you not to feel guilty about it?

This is just one quote, check the site for more. Also stunting is result of starvation.

But for the avoidance of doubt, you failed to find any stats for African children dying of hunger.

Facts you said you could find in 5 seconds, and have since failed to.
