Dr. Calvin Rickson, a scientist from Texas A&M University has invented a bra that keeps women's breasts from jiggling, bouncing up and down, and prevents the nipples from pushing through the fabric when cold weather sets in. At a news conference, after announcing the invention, a large group of men took Dr. Rickson outside and kicked the shit out of him.

Hi there everybody peeps Many sincere and abject apologies for my lengthy absence I've managed to get some time to myself on a borrowed PC as my "all singing, all dancing" Dell is still silently recalcitrant. Enough of the excuses My SR 250 is finally on the road and I have done about a 1000 miles relatively trouble free On the day I took it it for the test (1st Sept) the chain "jumped" the sprocket and I had to enlist the services of a mate to get it back on as I only have a sidestand fitted.

Hi All, just a quick request, do any of you know where I can get spares from for my XJ750 UK spec, I really need a new (replacement) loom/wiring harness as the one I have on the bike has been attacked by a gorilla with a crimp tool and no brain, bought one from EBAY and it turned out to be a USA spec one which is ok but half the terminals are different as they have lighting and ignition differences to the UK. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Martin.

Well, it has come to the 11th November again and I'm sure all our hearts and minds are with all those in the armed forces, past and present. I thought I'd start the topic off by posting a picture of my buddy Paul, 3 Commando Brigade, Royal Marines, who is serving today. If anyone else has any friends, relatives, etc, that are serving right now, or have served, and wants to post something, then here's the place to do so. We Will Remember Them. Chris

Hi i am looking at a Yamaha DT 125R trouble is it needs a bit of work and i dont know anything about motorcycle mechanics is there anyone here in the Taunton area that would be willing to lend a hand and could do the work that would be great. I think the bike needs a new gearbox so not sure if it is a big job then it needs a service and a bit of a smarten up and we should be rocking if any one is interested then email me [email protected] cheers Tony.
