Different Terror Threat Levels Around The World The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada. The Scots raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards" They don't have any o…

{{if $formValue}} {$value} {{endif}} The GMT94 Yamaha Official EWC Team and YART Yamaha Official EWC Team endured a drama filled 8 Hours of Oschersleben yesterday in the penultimate round of the 2017/18 Endurance World Championship. GMT94 held on to take a valuable third place on the podium, whilst YART were not so lucky, recording a DNF. Oschersleben pole-sitters David Checa, Mike Di Meglio and Niccolò Canepa of GMT94 were quick off the start and showing immediate race winning pace until the first challenge of the race struck. In a repeat of last year, they were imposed a stop-and-go penalty for failing to turn their lights off during their pit-stop, ultimate…

Went to the cinema last night and saw the new 3-D film about the Isle of Man TT races... I'm not a fan of Sports bikes and racing, but this is definitely something WELL worth seeing!! For those that don't know, the TT (Tourist Trophy) races take place on the Isle of Man every year. The big thrill is that this isn't a racing track - These guys are racing on normal public roads, through what are normally 30mph limit areas and around mountain roads at up to 200mph!! There are several races of different classes held over a week or two and these guys are blasting past brick and stone walls, lamp posts, sheer drops and all sorts. Accidents can and do happen - In it's hu…

It was a challenge on the ice between two and four wheels stars at Madonna di Campiglio. Despite the sub-zero temperature almost five thousand people thronged to the Ice Karting arena at Madonna di Campiglio to take in an exhibition including Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello, Luca Badoer, Loris Capirossi and Carlos Checa. The organisers of Wroom, the traditional Ferrari meeting dedicated to the specialist press on the snow at Campiglio, is now in its 15th year. This year, the spectators had the rare chance of seeing the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro stars lining up against the Ducati Marlboro Team. Unfortunately, Carlos Checa was unable to take part in the rac…

I went out for my first long ride since passing my CBT and getting my bike today and all was going well Till a chuffing white van driver was up my bum so being on a 125 i couldnt leave him so i let him go past and about 300 yards down the road I got skimmed by a empty bottel of coke a cola i think it was the frigin idiot. I saw his arm out the window and the Barsteward threw it out. I couldnt belive it as he knew i was there as he had only just overtaken me. I dread to think what could of happened if it would of hit me. I was doing 50 mph when that bottel whisked by my head. I just wish I had taken his licence number down but guess the police would do nothing anyway. H…

So, been on my YZF R125 for about 7 months now, was hoping to get at least a years experience before I moved up. However I went into some bike shops and saw the Z800 Sugomi. I was originally set on a GSXR 750 or Ninja 600, but they are so common, I wanted something a little bit different, plus the insurance for a supersport compared to a situp right was quite steep! This is my YZF R125 2011, Dalkavik exhast (it's loud!) Awesome bike, but, do you guys have an tips for going to my new Z800 Sugomi, thing is brand new - you will all shout at me for that! - and a LOT more powerful and a LOT heavier, 100KG extra to be precise. Quickly, w…

Hey guys, I'll be traveling this Sat. from Minneapolis to Chicago. It's the longest ride I've ever attempted and was wondering if anyone has suggestions about riding long distance. It will be on the Triumph, but don't hold that against me. Thanks.

Hey Guys, First off I just wanted to thank Drewpy...I haven't been on here in awhile, but I received my patch last month and it looks amazing! Secondly, I'll be in London and Paris on a family holiday trip leaving on Christmas. Do any of you lads over the pond know of any interesting motorcycling/automotive types of places and things that I might be able to visit/see while I am there? Thanks guys.

Ok I have finally decided to make some YICS tools, to those that need them I am offering them at cost, I have arranged to have them made for about £25 each and have asked for 6 of them so I will obviously have a few spares, if your interested them PM me or leave your name up here and I will get back to you. To those that don't know what a YICS tool is a brief explanation, if you have a YICS chamber on your bike then you have to blank it off before you can balance the carbs, the YAMAHA price is so expensive that most folks just send their bike in to have it done for them but it's so easy to do, why pay someone to do what you can do your self. I will be using Stainless …

A woman golfer was horrified when her drive hit a man at the next hole, He clasped his hands at his crotch in agony, the lady rushed over apologising profusely and said "I'm a physio (dontcha know) and I could ease the pain if you'd let me, he agreed to let her try and She took his hands away from his crotch and put her hand down the front of his trousers "how does that feel she said"? "magic he said but my thumb still hurts like fuk"!
