    My mate said the best thing to do is to drain the oil and then fill it up with Gunk and let it stand overnight. Then flush it out with water in the morning. Is hot or cold water best?

    Out for a ride on the Transalp today with the wife on the back. We stopped in the dealers 30 miles away for a cup of coffee, and I got talking to the owner. They're the same people I bought the Transalp from. So he said to me...."We've got a demo bike going...do you want a try?" Well I'm not one to refuse something for nothing, so instead of using our petrol, we'd use his. So me and the wife jumped on and off we went. First thing I noticed was comfort....absolutely amazing, most perfect seating, riding, and pillion setup I've ever experienced. Makes the TA feel like a wooden bench. Secondly....smoothness. It made the TA feel like a tractor. Brakes....fantas…

    Here's a chance for some of you to see what the Elan Valley Lakes complex in Mid Wales looks like! A view across the Dams.. Now the Gay Honda at Devils Bridge...but take a close look at the tree behind! Yes.....it's a bicycle hanging from it. Don't ask me.....I've no idea why! Here's a shot of the Gay Honda attracting attention wherever it goes.... Now back over the Mountain road to Rhayader.. As you can see....it's a man's life on a Gay Honda!

    It's almost that time of the year again, and i'm stumped for ideas. Previously i have filled my dad's bathroom with baloons to the roof (had to use a compressor) swapped this weeks paper with last weeks (delived so it was still wrapped up in plastic, clasic!) switched alarm clocks with an identical, and hid the one that went off behind the tv (now that one was funny) empited the entire fridge and left a dog bone there re-aganged the furniture, kitchen and bathroom (lame but i was bored) So anyone got some good ideas? The only thing i could think of for this year is to wrap up things in either glad wrap or foil like this guy did:

Also stops an other good bike going to the scrap yard in the sky! (Or so I'm convincing my self) If any one has any helpfull hints or have parts under their bench for one please let me know I'm missing a fair few bits. If any one knows of any other models that ran simular partsor carry over parts (poss- RXS,RD I don't know) would be more than helpfull. I will keep you guys posted on the bikes progress and I'll send in some pic's this coming week. (Early days, planning a three month turn around…

    A Polish man married an English girl. Being in England for a year or so, although his english was far from perfect, they got along very well. Until one day he rushed into a solicitors office and asked him if he could arrang a quickie divorce. The solicitor said that the speed for getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances and asked him the following quesions: Solicitor - ''Have you any grounds?'' Pole - ''Ja Ja, an acre and a half and a nice little home with three bedrooms''. Solicitor - ''No, I mean what is the foundation of this case?'' Pole - ''It is made of concrete, brick and mortar.'' Solicitor - ''Does either of you have a re…

    A woman brought a very limp duck into a vterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the birds chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said ''I'm so sorry, your pet has passed away.'' The distressed owner wailed, ''Are you sure?'' ''Yes I'm sure. The duck is dead'' the vet replied. ''How can you be so sure'' she protested. ''I mean, you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something.'' The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few moments later with a pair of Labrador Retrievers. As the duck's owner looked on in…

    A blind man walks into a restaurant and sits down. The waiter, who is also the owner, walks up to the blind man and hands him a menu. ''I'm sorry sir, but I am blind and can't read the menu. Just bring me a dirty fork from a previous customer. I'll smell it and order from there.'' A little confused, the owner goes over to the dirty dish pile and picks up a greasy fork. He returns to the blind man's table and hands it to him. The blind man puts the fork to his nose and takes a deep breath. ''Ah, yes, thats what I'll have - roast beef and all the trimmings.'' Unbelievable, the owner thinks to himself as he walks towards the kitchen. The cook happens to b…

    When the fair came to town, Fred and his wife Ethel went every year. Every year Fred would say, ''Ethel I'd like to ride in that helicopter.'' Ethel always replied, ''I know Fred, But that helicopter ride is 50 pounds, and 50 pounds is 50 pounds.'' One year, Fred and Ethel went to the fair, and Fred said ''Ethel I'm 85 years old, If I don't ride that helicopter, I might not get another chance.'' Ethel replied, ''Fred that helicopter is 50 pounds, and 50 pounds is 50 pounds.'' The pilot overheard the couple and said, ''I'll make you a deal. I'll take both of you up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word,I won't charge yo…

    A nun was taking a bath when there was a knock at the bathroom door. the nun asks, '' Who's there?'' A man's voice replies ''I'm a blind man'' Thinking that no harm can be done as he can't see, the nun steps naked out of the bath and unlocks the door. The door opens and the man says, ''What colour do you want the blinds?''
