I usuallly miss these out when im on a route.
Ok after a rethink TAW is as good if not better
The streak is great and the rips etc etc
There i changed my mind
The only reason is that i hardly see a TAW
Played many SR and done very well off them

A bit hasty to say it beats TAW :P
I think its cos i had a good run on them over the last few week :roll:

You can manip a SR, spinning the 1 on the blue board, red boosting or nudging onto red, then going higher for ya 2 skillshots.

TAW is miles better...

SR is ok yeh, but its never big profit, and often even though they are somewhat happy you end up with only small profit...

also mega streak on SR is crap... most often its £30-33, and I've had maybe 400 mega streaks on it, so its no co-incidence, although it has been £50 once.

I'd stop for one yes, but I'd much prefer to see a wobbler - if wobblers couldnt streak, then maybe this would be different....

Totally agree. TAW is clearly a class m/c, with easy JP rips and a good streak potential these are every players dream machine. SR is also a very good machine, however Jp is harder to obtain off NW/ SH etc and also the MS tends to be smaller than TAW.

Most crests m/cs are good but TAW is up there with the best, there is no competition with it.

Yeah, Wobbler is easily better. Although, I would definitely go out my way to play a chipped Raiders in a good location. I had several in restaurant type pubs and made killings: the MS tends to go for £40+ and often with a NW or something not far behind. Ah, great locations.

chipped one? what difference does it make - the ? gambles or not is that it? was there actually a trick on the unchipped one? - if so, do tell, as I have one in my town :)

The chipped ones just mean you can't gamble on the ? mark the unchipped ones allow you to gamble just like the other blue/ red trail m/cs.

There was a trick apparently, I don't know it. The 'chipped' ones force collect prize on you quite a lot. I often find them so buzzing because they haven't been forced properly in ages and have loads of value left in them, hence MS going large with potential JPs still in there after.

Not being funny or anything but doesn't this manip then hinge on the entire off chance that it just happens to spin a 1 after being booted off the red trail? instead of perhaps a 7 or a 10 which just sends you to a blue question mark? :?
