I thought it was funny...thought id share it with you (Apparently a genuine email) Dear Sir / Madam / Automated telephone answering service... Having spent the past twenty minutes waiting for someone at Leith police station to pick up a telephone I have decided to abandon the idea and try e-mailing you instead. Perhaps you would be so kind as to pass this message on to your colleagues in Leith by means of smoke signal, carrier pigeon or ouija board. As I'm writing this e-mail there are eleven failed medical experiments (Ithink you call them youths) in West Cromwell Street which is just offCommercial Street in Leith. Six of them seem happy enough to play a game w…

Ok peeps - I need a band to play over the weekend of 25th and 25th July. Im holding a bike rally in aid of SCOPE - the charity for folk with cerebral palsy so they need to be free or really cheap. This will be a great weekend with around 200 plus bikers in attendance. The rally is in Leigh (not far from Wigan) If you know of one or are in one and can help, please let me know ASAP Thanks in advance!

hi everyone. just trying to sort out my motorcycle clothing for the year. i got myself a very nice Tuzo leather jacket in the busters sale a few weeks ago. full grain leather, armour, removable liner e.t.c for £50 as it was end-of-the-line. thing is, its a bit heavy and very warm... a bit too warm and methink in summer it will be a bit too much to lug around on the DT. so i started looking at textile clothing. in probike they had some end-of-the-line stuff for £79.99 but didnt have any in the small size that i require... so ive been looking on the web and found the "Mirage" and "Airtec" jackets for a good price. http://www.motouk.net/acatalog/T…

Last July my bike was damaged in a disturbance, it was kicked over and jumped on and alot of damage has been done. My dads car also was damaged with a brick through the window. They guy that done all this was involved in a disturbance in the flat below my dads and he was arrested. My dad wasn't in at the time, but when my dad came back there was police everywhere and asked him did he own any of the vehicles involved. I found out today that they guy arrested for all this was not convicted, how is this possible when he was caught red handed?? I have filled in a c1 form for compensation but I'm not sure if I'l get it or not. The bike was insured 3rd party only so they pro…

hi everyone. think ive found out why my Jawa is a bitch to start and wont run right, seems the little rubber bit that goes over the manifold end of the carb and into the reed block has perished slightly and is a bit of a loose fit, to the point where the carb can be moved/tilted/twisted by hand. but finding a replacement is proving to be a bit challenging. anyone know how i can fabricate/find a new carb rubber? (its a 28mm single carb), tried all the "Jawa specialists" but to no avail, nothing on the owners club webby either...

Just a quick reminder to all members about signature sizes. Please can you ensure thatt they are no more than 80 pixels high - any more and they start to look massive and can make the board hard to read cos they appear to take over! Ive sent a couple of PM's about folks siggies tonight, but thought i'd best stick a post for everyone to see. If you're having trouble rezising your sigs or dont know how to then PM me and i will happily do it for you, Linky to the sticky HERE We dont want to have to start removing them, so if you could just check yours then that would be most helpful Thanks peeps

The same people who openly admired the changes / improvements which I made to BSA's efforts now all say "It's not original" I here ask who cares ? If I intended to sell the machine (after owning it for over 40years) I would realise more cash / asking price by reducing it back to it's boring original BUT while it's still mine I like it the way I have it.
