Now come on. I couldn't complain if a car swapped lanes without looking or signalling and hit me if I was filtering. I couldn't complain if a car swapped lanes without looking and signalling and hit me if I was overtaking on the blind side. But when a car swaps lanes without lookng and signalling and hits me WHEN I'M BLEEDING WELL STATIONARY AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS I feel I have a right to grump a little. No damage to the TRX, and chummy coughed straight away as well he might with me hopping round where I'd hit my funnybone swearing Blue Fire. (I hadn't heard language that obscene since the vicar tripped over our cat). There is some justice: The impact put a nice d…

Where can I find a replacement kick stand that has the locking cam mechanism (or another locking device) that engages when the weight of the bike is leaned on it. It prevents the bikes kick stand from rolling up, if the bike is shifted forward, when weight is on it. I've seen other bikes with this feature and think its pretty cool.

I just love the last one wonder what mummy was wearing at the time!!! 1) This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly >age 6) 2) Oysters' balls are called pearls. (James age 6) 3) If you are surrounded by sea you are an Island . If you don't have sea all round you, you are in continent. ( Wayne age 7) 4) Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just Like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend no more. (Kylie age 6) 5) A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head.

well was out on my xj yesterday and when i had to stop couldn't change down gear because my foot kept slipping off the gear shift from all the oil that was saturating my engine, jeans, boots, rear wheel. a piston ring has gone by the looks of it as when the engine was hot enough the oil was coming back through the air box like a running tap. that combined with needing a new exhaust and rear tyre actually means it would cost more to fix the bike up for mot next week than it would to buy another bike...... dilema..... i cant find a yamaha i can afford right now......... so the temporary optins are mot my nsr 125 or but a gsxr750 for £500

Hey peeps. is there anything stopping me from removing the killswitch from the bars and simply shutting off the ignition from the key? i.e. will it pass an mot or any inspectionwithout one? trying to neaten up the bars on the FUCR, luckily i still have a set of clubmans under my bed so they will have to suffice for now. plan is run the bare minimum, possibly jawa style ignition whereby the key is turned beyond the ignition position to illuminate the lights.

Got knocked off FIVE DOORS FROM MY HOUSE! Pretty much was tailing (at a safe distance) a chelsea tractor drivern by two old people (if you don't know what a chelsea tractor is - it's a shiny new land rover driven by people with no land and a house in chelsea!). Pretty much they pulled over to the left, I assumed they were stopping. I went round the right of them, just as he attempted to swing into his driveway, causing me to swerve into the curb, the bike to hit a wall, and me to go skidding down the pavement. I'm cut and grazed, but the bike still works, with a few dings and scratches. I'm not sure if I have a claim or not. Anyway, when I got in I rung my old man. …

Hi all, so I've literally just got back from my CBT which I passed fine. Now do I have to have L plates on front and back, I know they say yes but realistically what can I get away with ? I've seen some with only one on the back which I guess isn't as bad and as ugly as one on the front as well

I took the front L-Plate of my bike because it looked proper wank. The guy who owned the bike before me did a really shit job of putting it on. Now my XT 125 looks a lot better without it off, so I have decided to keep it off. I just carry brand new L-Plates in the packet on me, so if the Police pull me I can just say I'm about to put them on. Also I feel like a knob with L-Plates on.
