Scientists have discovered that lager contains trace quantities of female hormones - something to do with the part of the plant that the hops are picked from. So someone did an experiment to determine the effect of this on the male... They took ten male volunteers, and got them each to drink eight pints of lager in quick succession. At the end of the test, it was found that they were all talking complete bollocks, and couldn't drive.

I'm stoked!!! Just bought a new YZF. Lookin to ride and get comftorable with the ride. Going to NASCAR in Phoenix this weekend. Anyone else going? I'm also selling my KX 250 if anyone is looking for some dirt!!!

Worked my ass off over the weekend, playing lumberjack as I gave the 4 big maple tree's in my front yard, a long overdue trim......spent both Saturday & Sunday running a chainsaw from a good 20+ft. up a ladder. .....looks like a tornado touched down @ my place now! Weather was great as it was in the 80'sF both days......so I managed to get out for a spin both evenings just to kool off & blow all the sawdust outta my hair & pockets! ....... I've seen plenty of squirrels, jay's & crows(flying rats!) around my place in the last 20 years......but this was the 1st time I've ever seen 1 of these chaps hanging out around my garage ...... …

Anyone ever been doing something, and needed to nip somewhere fast or do something fast and the tools available for them wasn't there? I was thinking earlier about toothpaste, and its use as a chrome polish. Has anyone else got any uses for random everyday stuff, that comes in real handy in the workshop or on the move? Anything at all, substitutes for bike care items would be great. 1. Toothpaste - Chrome/Metal Polish 2. Tampon/Screw Driver - Gets at oil in hard to reach places 3. Vinegar/Soda Crystals/Lemon Juice - Eats off rust, ready to paint! 4. Aluminium Foil/Coke - Removes rust/marks and polishes chrome. 5. WW2 issue P-38 Can Opener or Dough - Dont…

Hello all, after coming back here and sapping tips and information out of all of you I figure I owe you an introduction. My name's Cameron, I'm from New Brunswick, Canada and I'm trying to juggle school and hobbies. I bought a 79' DT 175 in December in hopes of restoring it to something road worthy, it's going slowly but things are starting to pick up again. I've yet to ride a bike at all and still haven't got my licence but now know a fair amount about my DT This forums helped me a ton with my build already and I'm sure will continue to be a great help down the road!

Well after a few weeks of trouble free riding, today my clutch cable snapped. The worst thing was pushing my bike home 3 miles. By the time I got home I was shaking and soaked in sweat. When I phoned the garage up to order a new cable the guy couldn't believe it. I can fit it myself, I only fit a new one about 12 months ago.

Hi Guys, I have been off the radar lately due to hectic work/uni/life commitments, anyway I hope everyone has been safe and well. I have become really lazy and started to neglect the care of my bike through stress and tiredness. I have noticed today that it is pretty corroded, now I do have ACF-50 which I applied but it mustn't of been enough. There are no major problems with the bike but here is what is bugging me and needs sorting out........... 1) Bash plate has come loose somehow, so after failing to cable tie it (temporarily) I have removed it. 2) Corrosion around the bike, rust etc, looks shabby 3) Electric start knackered 4) Headlights knackered af…

Well im a lazy cow and can't be bothered to read all the threads to find out whats been going on.......So what have you been up to while ive been offline??? Any good gossip? and what i want to know is when i finally find a guy, why do all the sexy guys become avalible.

Did about 100 miles on the XT today.....some of the places you may have seen before though. The lakes at Castril.... I then crossed into the Jaen province across the Sierra de Cazorla, then back into Granada arriving at Lake Negratin near Zuhar. Then over to Baza and back towards Huescar through Cullar. I stopped off in Galera on the way back and took some shots of the cave district. So how is the weather in Britain at the moment?
