Hello, As it christmas, we thought we'd run a competition. Its similar to last time, this time its guess the key rings in the jug! Its 1 entry per person and the closing date is the 12th of December. The winner will win £30 of shopping vouchers, if ther is more than 1 correct answer, it will go down to a draw. 3 runners up will get a lovely Flux Babe calender. This is being run over more than 1 forum and if you could PM your guesses please. Good luck! (P.S I have Tommy's address still, it may be easier if I just post him the vouchers now)

Hi, I've been looking around the forum for a bit, so thought I should formally introduce myself. Aside from my profile, I've been riding for 4 and a bit years. Started with a Kawasaki GPZ500s, have to say great bike for a beginner, just got a 95 XJ600s Diversion, so far no problems (fingers crossed). Divi is great, bit more grunt than the gpz. Only concern/worry is the rattles from the engine, these have been eased thanks to this forum, 'the divi rattle' so cheers for that. Great forum, lots of knowledge/ideas/info. Robert

Hi, Sorry bit of a repeat (from my first post) but got 95 XJ600s diversion a few weeks ago, and want to service/check for previous owner cockups but haven't got a Haynes, so was wondering if anyone knows of a good website for maintenance, general repairs ideally with pics or videos. PS this site is awesome, but couldn't find XJ600 specific maintenance video/pics. Many thanks Robert

Have a good one everybody and Ride/Drive safe. http://www.code-d.com/tesco-cards/tesco-value-merry-christmas.pdf Oi Sacha over here:

Does anyone have .... Edit DDT: wanted items in the wanted section only please.

Is anyone else into playing the guitar?

This guy at work goes in my bag when I leave the room. It got to the point where I just think it's a joke but I'm sick of it now. He doesn't steal out he just looks in it but is so thick will leave the zip opened or something so it's obvious for me to notice. I can't understand why he does it. I think he is hoping to find drugs or something so he can get me into trouble or something. I haven't challenged him because he will deny it. Also I haven't told my manager because he hasn't stole anything and he will deny it. Also the guy is a Muslim and so is my manager so he will turn it round on me calling me a racist etc. I'm sick of it now it has been going on for nearly a yea…

What is with these Hondas?..they rattle my teeth loose..even the speedo needle has broken in two since I`ve had it. Getting on a Yamaha afterwards is like getting into a Rolls Royce. Do they need more damping around the engine?

ist a flipping advert, but the game is fun for, oo, 2 mins http://toys.usvsth3m.com/pump/

Just a quick heads up people.As the title says: The government has made some changes to the regulations for Continuous Insurance of vehicles in the UK. From 16-12-2013 it will no longer be necessary to renew a SORN every year as long as you remain the owner of the car. But if you sell a car on a SORN, the new owner will need to register it to himself and declare his own SORN. The SORN does not pass from one keeper to another. http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/miscellaneous/2013-12/no-need-to-renew-sorn-from-16-12-2013/ Also read this as it looks like the government has had an epiphany http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/road-and-rail-transport/1050…

Anyone on the board do it, I've done it for the last 6 or 7 years but have never set up a giving site (I must just like have a stupid looking 'Tache) I'll post a pic later, any and all pics welcome. Obviously Sacha, Bippo and Katie are excluded.....unless they particularly wish to partake

Back in the day most of us only wore jeans when riding but now there is a huge range of trousers to chose from.I haven't got a huge budget as I've just spent a lot on my xvs1300 but after taking her for a spin yesterday I realise that I'm far too old to ride in the cold without something to help keep me warm. Any tips on choosing a budget pair of trousers would be appreciated.

Dont know if you saw this on the news the other day,But this is quite an amazing story of survival... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=51e_1385934620
