In Detroit , a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys. 7th Place....

Hi Im Jordan , been on here a few months now ! but still fairly new to biking ..... and sad to say it had my fair share of problems ! I've done allot of work myself and after a whole lot of time , money and graft its finally running ( and road legal ) !

I also have no idea how much oil it should have. If I had an instruction book that would be a start! As my name suggests I am a bit green when it comes to bikes and would appreciate any help or advice that I could get on this bike

Only two weeks to go, have a great Xmas everyone and I look forward to seeing and meeting you in the new year. ...Paul Heres a 'touching' Xmas tale.

The letter read: Dear God, I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had £100 in it, wh…
