So I get in from work and was given a list of everything that had been done while I was at work and I had to admit the house was spotless. Only one job left and that was to cut the lawn. To which I politely replied 'sorry babe there's no petrol left in the can' She only suggested siphoning some out of the bike!!! Laughing, I said ''Course I 'kin will, just like you'd give up a chocolate brownie'! Storming out to work she said something to the affect of me using the exhaust pipe from now on! Anybody else think I may be getting lucky later tonight when she gets home??

Hi Guests, At time of writing there are 49 of you mooching around on this site. Is this some kind of voyourism thing that you are doing? or are you interested in joining our happy little group? It's not like the Masons, there's no rolling up of trouser legs ( although you might come across a few pic's of one of our ladies showing her tat's off.) and as long as you don't want to buy or sell something it's absolutly free to join. And we accept girlies too! Infact the more the merrier. So don't be creepin around out there come and join in ( even if it's only to tell me to mind my own f@"in' business ) there's some good people here and they'll even offer advise on problems…

Rite am here on my soap box again about the prime minister, he says he wont let these people who fought for our country (which lets face it wants a HUGE THANKYOU, and a pat on the back) he doenst want to give them a permit to come and live in the U.K WHY MR.BROWN. In all fairness they have as much right as you or i to live in this country for what they did and whats better is they have 10 times the right of the Scum we have in our country. They helped us in the wars 1 and 2, and helped us keep rights for people. LET THEM IN, and stop being tight, whats more is why can you do this and not do it to the illegal immagrents and stop them coming in?? …

There is a medical distinction. We've all heard about people having guts or balls but do you really know the difference between them? to keep you informed, the definitions are listed below: GUTS-Is arriving home late after a night out with the boys , being met by your wife with a broom , and having the guts to ask "Are you still cleaning, or, are you flying somewhere?" BALLS-Is coming home late after a night out with the boys , smelling of perfume, and beer, lip-stick on your collar, and slapping your wife on the arse, and having the balls to say "You're next, fatty."

I live in a big old house which has been converted into three flats. I have been keeping my bike in the hallway but I asked my neighbours beforehand and they were fully understanding and had no problems at all with it. I've got home today and I've got a letter from the landlord wanting to speak to me about it, I know it's a fire hazard etc. I'm gutted now I'm going to have to keep it outside chained to a metal fence. It's going to be a sought after target for bike thieves.

A few years ago i had to sell my dream machine to pay someones elses debts after a nasty split. Ever since i have kept an eye on fleabay/bike trader etc in the hope of being able to buy it back. Well it went on ebay on Weds and was sold virtually straight away. I only saw the ad last night and called ASAP but was too late. Totally gutted. Hope the new owner has as much fun as i did.

Just got this on Kindle and its a cracking read. Gives you an insight as the the machinations of the race industry, the old adage is still true, its not what you know but who you know! still Martin has the grit and determination to succeed and still have fun. that's why he still works on the lorries then he can answer to no-one at the end of the day.

I own a Yamaha FZS bike, now four years old. I'm experiencing problems during revving up the bike to high speeds. The engine gives up suddenly, the throttle doesn't respond(like what you face when the fuel tank goes dry), but the fuel tank is full, battery is recently charged. Then I need to keep the bike idle for around 10 - 15 minutes, then the engine check light blinks and then i can start the bike again but not for long when this happens again. I have changed the whole electrical wiring twice now but doesn't seem to solve the problem. It works good till a week after servicing the bike, but then this starts again. Please guys help me out to fix this.
