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…

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:

Hi just joined today, looking forward to some interesting chat and pic's. I have just started a restoration on a 1981 RS125, it is for my brother in-law's son to learn on. 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?''

An elderly man lay dying in his bed. In death's agony, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort inched himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands. With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven. There, spread out upon newspapers on the kitchen table, were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookie…

Our shop has just inherited alot of new "old" spares. Not just yamaha by the way. It's taking up alot of space so we are doing it at 50% off retail price. It's only supposed to be an offer for VJMC owners but the boss said I could give you lot the heads up! Can't tell you exactly what bikes any of it is for but if you know the part number you require it might be in the box. There isn't any real big stuff (wheels, bodywork silencers that sort of thing) but lots of little bits and decals. If you are interested I need the part numbers, PM them to me and if they are in the box we can sort you out.
