    mate of mine posted this on another site and i thought i would pass it on and try and get the votes up: My mate Simon was involved a few years back in a very bad bike accident and as he says now 'I used to walk the walk and talk the talk, now I just fall over and mumble'. He has a really good attitude over what has happened to him although he now spends most of his time in front of a computer. Now hes entered his pet in a online comp and so If I can ask you just to vote for his dog Sam... http://mms.million21.com/GmgWeb/Detail.aspx?MmsId=1727 I think it will cheer him up a bit when he gets loads of votes...so if you can pass it on. Cheers

    The Inland Revenue decides to audit Paddy, and summons him to an appointment with the most thorough auditor in the office. The auditor is not surprised when Paddy shows up with his solicitor. The auditor says, "Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the Inland Revenue finds that believable." "I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it," says Paddy. "How about a demonstration?" The auditor thinks for a moment and says, "Okay. You're on!" Paddy says, "I'll bet you a thousand pound that I can bite my own eye." The auditor thinks a moment and says, "No way…

    I didn't see a seperate area for introductions so here is mine : My name is Kevin, always have been a Yamaha fan. I currently have 2 Yams : 1979 XS750SF and 1982 XJ110J Maxim. Both were bought as dead, both were easy fixes. I currently ride the 750 while I do a good cleanup on the 1100, then it will be the other way around. I'm not sure which one I like more, but the sound of the 750 is my fav. Well I guess that is it for now, I hope to have some fun here.

  11. Passed my DAS test on Friday and I'm on the hunt for a bike Having looked at Bandits & SV650s I've settled on a Fazer 600 - ideally a facelift 2002 model. Being new to the whole bike scene what should I look out for when buying one of these bikes? Is it worth getting it HPI'd and independantly inspected beforehand? Any other tips would be much appreciated!

    Hi All, looking for some advice , sure somebody out there will know. We're opening our gites in Brittany this year and are hoping to get bikers to stay, It's a great place with quiet sweeping roads and spectacular scenery. I'm in the process off looking for places to advertise that will not cost a fortune, one very new online magazine wanted £200 just to be on their link !! As i'm in France I can't head off down to smiths and peruse the best magazines, and I've spent days on this machine trying to find sites, but I keep getting sidetracked and forget where I've been !! some of you out there must advertise and will have some good advice, remember I'm a novice…

    Hi there hope someone can please help. I have just bought a 2002 yammy dragstar xvs 250. Very good condition, just had a full service with new plugs/etc. Everything was perfect for a few days and yesterday I managed to hit the on switch on the oxford heated grips as I left my bike standing. I came back about 2 hrs later and it wouldn't start, but a little red light on the oxford control was on so I knew I'd knocked it on previously. The electric start isn't working, just making a clicking sound. I bumped the bike and that works fine. So I picked up a battery charger and put the battery on for about 3 hours (it is the correct constant charger for the battery). I…
