He is an 18 month old Dogue De Bordeaux or French Mastiff (or a Hooch dog! ) He is a purebreed from show winning stock It has been several years since i last had a dog, when my Collie died i was devastated. But now is the right time for another dog and so we are getting ready for Marvin's arrival....i cant wait!

    well after searching around, im close to doing my test and am going to get a big bike i have been looking around for ages, but insurance is always a issue. I have bought a limited edition bike Moto Guzzi 750 Twin its abit of a step up from a ybr but i have had past experience with big bikes, as i am re building a honda hornet. so i will be getting that sorted up soon and on the road. its not a cruiser its a road bike i would like to see what you think about it

    Hello all. I have a 83 yammy dt125 lc with some wiring issues that i cant seem to solve. When i indicate the main lights front and back slightly blink with the indicators. I dont think this will pass the mot as it looks like im flashing people to let them go while im indicating, also i dont really feel that im safe while its happening. i have had the haynes manual out and the wiring apart trying to find the fault but im not entirely sure what could be causing the problem. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this. A bit of history of the bike..... When i bought it the idicators were not connected. The flasher relay is new as the old was faulty. The left han…

    We are finally in a position to announce that Unity rides again. This year Unity Ride promises to be the biggest charity motorcycle ride ever undertaken through the Capital. 15 members of the Metropolitan Police and 2 Paramedics will be assisted by 55 trained Unity Support Riders (USRs) to make sure this year’s event will also be the safest. Every year we give bikers a day out in London where the freedom of the city is ours, the Motorbike is king and we can enjoy the sights from a totally different perspective. No filtering through traffic and no stopping at all just a cruise with a 1000 or so other bikes enjoying Summer time in the Capital. The ride will take…

    Hi Guys, Last night some little f**ker tried to steel my bike, now I'm shaken and dont know what to do! The bike is secured in an alarmed shed, with a XENA alarm disc lock and a Mammoth Sold Secure Lock And Chain... The alarm from the shed seemed to do its job and the f**ker ran away, just wondering, if anyone here has any advice on making sure my bike stays put?! Thanks, Tom

    Right thats it. Im officially signed up to do this challenge. I will be riding a 350 Enfield Bullet motorcycle over 1,000 miles through Rajasthan, India to raise funds for Scope, the charity that helps children with Cerebal Palsy.

  20. Ok... how far over is too far? Edges of your tyres? Leaving a little strip only 5mm wide? Am I just being excessive or should I back off now and should I be leaning off my bike?
