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"!

Hi all. Ive recently purchased a rossi replica 125, lovely-responsive bike to ride. I was contemplating getting rid of my car and using my bike to commute. (Obviously only when weather permitting). Does anybody have any experiance/view on this as to whether its a good or bad idea. I appreciate any input. Cheers

hi there, can anyone tell me if its normal for my 2000 wrf 400 to drip a small puddle of oil out of the breather pipe after i have taken it for a ride? if it is normal has anyone got any ideas how i could stop this from happening eg, re routing the pipe some where else so the oil does not come out? has anyone done this before? i have only owned the bike for a short while so this bike is quite new to me and do not know what to expect, the oil is at the proper level and i am reading the dipstick when its warmed up. it also seems to use a little oil as well but no smoke or any other leaks any where. hope someone can help me on this one im baffled by it!. neil.

Has anyone ridden the Dragon? Is it as mean as they say?

just wanted to say hi to all. I'm a fan of the older Yamaha's, I used to work in a Yamaha dealer in a previous life, now I work on aircraft. I have 2 running yams, a XS650 and a SR 500, plus several more in bits, exactly how many is debatable! I have a modest workshop and a lot of experience with these bikes, I also make and test CDi boxes and have quite a collection of specilist electrical info on the older machines. copyright rexs-speedshop.com 2009

Why is it, no matter where I look, the downpipes and x valve on my Genisis are impossible to locate? Surely someone out there knows where I can find replacement downpipes and valve.........yes I know that Yamaha will do it for silly money..... however finding the parts through a breaker seems to be my only option and yet so far no joy. Anyone that can point me at the right breakers will make my day.....week ....Year! FZR 1000 XUP Genisis 3LG 89-90 So please, if you know of a breakers that can help me please call EDITED OUT PLEASE USE PM in future any wants need to be posted in the wanted section as this is against forum rules thanks guys The Hortic

In Ireland, during this Weather, its safer not to go riding. The weather is one thing, but the tiny roads are another. I have fallen off so many times during the winter, it was nearly becoming part of my Christmas Cheer. Broke my Collar Bone 2 years ago and I was only going about 20KM. Spent Christmas in a bad way.....

Just joined, I haven't even got the Yam yet, pick it up Thursday. A 97 diversion 900. I will probably have some questions then. I do my own maintainance, so will probably need some advice for a while. Bit of a departure for me, first 4 cylinder bike I have had for 30 years. Been riding a long time. It is all touring and doing bike rallies. My other bike is a 2001 Guzzi Jackal, I have had from new.

THE TAXMAN COMETH At the end of the tax year, the Tax Office sent an inspector to audit the books of a Synagogue. While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, 'I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings?' 'Good question,' noted the Rabbi. 'We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles.' 'Oh,' replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way: 'What about all these bread-wafer purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?' 'Ah, yes,' replied the Rabbi, reali…
