    I'm happy to share the news - I finally passed my Mod 2 test. And a quick question : Am I entitled to ride a bike bigger than 125cc before i actually receive my full license? That's in case I manage to find a new bike for me in next couple of weeks. I tried to find any related publications online, but didn't find anything useful. Thanks Georgi

  5. Hi all, A lot of us import parts from overseas evilbay sites. We know we may get charged import and VAT but do we really know how much? This calculator may help you and it is smart enough for you to enter the item number. Remember Post office collection charges are not included. As a tip, click "Car parts, DIY and tools" in the first selection box and motorcycle parts will show in the next selection. LINKY

    Ho ho ho everyone. Not too many sleeps left until that fat bloke squeezes down your chimney and visits your kids bedrooms in the dead of night - a bit worrying that!! Has anyone put any bike bits on their list, or am I the only sad one? My list is nothing but bike bits with a new pair of shocks heading up the list. Not being able to wait until Christmas I just treated myself to a NOS swingarm with the tophats and the 3 spacers. £50 plus postage, bargain as the tophats and spacers cost more than that on their own LINKY What's on your list?? PS - Don't forget to keep your eyes on the Halfords website as they normally have a 50% off tools promo at this time …

    Hello all....... Just sharing this with you all as fellow bikers we never know when we may need help from these guys https://www.justgivi...m/Corrina-Hynes Well what can I say....... It all started with a winning raffle ticket for a trip in a glider, personally that is my worst nightmare as I hate heights and have never flown for the reason that I think only birds should fly and was planning to give it away. After sharing the news with some friends, one bright spark came up with the idea to sponsor me for doing it, so peer pressure it is and the challenge has begun. The glider flight will take place after Christmas/New year a…

    A practical example of how the human mind works. Analysis of the above picture can tell us a lot about how different people think. - For young men, it's a picture of a lady with a nice arse but only the most observant will notice that she is crossing a street. - The really observant will notice that she is wearing a thong. - For older men, she appears to be a respectable woman - with a nice ass - on her way to work. - The perverts among them will imagine her naked. - Wiser men will ponder the presence of mind of the photographer to take the shot in the face of such beauty and be grateful that they shared it with humanity. - For half of the women, this is an…
