I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry. That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste. David Bissonette When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her. Sacha Guitry After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin; they just can't face each other, but still they stay together. Hemant Joshi By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. Socrates Woman inspires us to great things, and prevents us from achieving them.

hi folks got myself a new project last night, a honda vf750f, she is running and all there. it needs a full new exhaust, fork seals and maybe a tank. the headers are totally rotten so i will make new ones unless i find some cheap, the tank is in good shape with no dents but it was leaking at some time and has been patched (but i dont no how well) apart from that everything is there and all the lights are working, pretty good shape for a 25 year old bike.

Hi, I'm new to the club. Not sure if people are looking for any complete bikes in particular. There's still some 8os bikes languishing in these parts. Let me know. Any interest in a complete xs850 special, import, I think. Looks totally original (black), except for 3:1 motad. Scruffy but all there. Would've thought cheap. Wook. T500 Honda?

We did everything possible to do a safe ride and even with that things can go wrong. We even did a safty briefing in the end I was very thankful for that cause no one ran over my wife or I. The Culprit amazing that the owners cared for their dog so much that they bought it sweater to protect it from the cold. But, not enough to keep it off a busy highway I had always been told if your going to hit a dog hit him straight on, I remember thinking that as I saw there way no way I was going to avoid it. So I was doing all that I could to do just that. One of those times no where to go for me or the dog. Oncoming traffic coming now that would have hurt. Dog g…

MAG General Secretary, Nich Brown said today “the adoption of this policy in the capital city has been a long time coming but its…

Kawasaki will announce it is to pull out of MotoGP on Thursday morning, leaving John Hopkins and the seemingly luckless Marco Melandri looking for a ride in 2009. Although it isn't yet known why the firm is withdrawing, the global economic crisis must be more than a factor, especially given the boss of Suzuki has hinted today the firm is in trouble and could be for sale. Despite the fact Kawasaki Heavy Industries is a massive company, it has never spent anything like the money Honda has on racing and because Japan's economy is in dire straits, non-essential activities are bound to be the first things to go. This leaves MotoGP with only 17 riders on the grid for n…
