The Bar

TRIBUTES are being paid to Scotland today after the entire country laughed itself to death. The alarm was first raised at around 4pm as thousands of phone calls and text messages went unanswered. Small groups of volunteers from Berwick-Upon-Tweed and Carlisle ventured north only to find houses full of dead people gathered around still blaring television sets. As RAF helicopters flew over deserted city streets, it was clear that the whole country had suffered a catastrophic abdominal rupture. Wayne Hayes, a special constable from Northumberland, said: "We went into one house in Dunbar and found three men sitting on the sofa with huge smiles on their faces, still holdi…

Progress on the 'originaltwistgrip's non-runner..... Well, On saturday a breaker near me supplied me with a complete wiring loom, Complete Instrument cluster with Ignition lock and key, headlamp, tail lamp, Left and right switch gear and twistgrip, left and right Pet cocks complete with filters,front L/H brake caliper and a few sundry items, all in good condition. £170 well spent! Yesterday, I turned my back on the wife whilst sorting all the bits I needed to replace or clean up and when I turned back she had taken vast areas of the frame back to bare metal The original intention was just to remove the surface rust and then treat with a Rustconverter/primer. Looks n…

Getting used to the bike now, just buzzing about Grangemouth, Falkirk, Bo'ness etc to get the confidence built up before the obligatory trek to the Green Wellie this Sunday, really looking forward to it.

Hi Guys and Gals New member here. Novice bike rider with a 2001 Thundercat. Although I'd always wanted one I had never been on a bike, even as a passenger, until couple of years ago when I bought my Thundercat with a view that, if the bike was there it'd give me motivation to sit my test. I hadn't even sat on the bike before buying it to see if my short legs would reach the black stuff . Passed my direct access but haven't really had much time on the bike so confidence is still low. Poor I know. So hoping to get some miles under my belt this summer and get to grips with this motorbiking lark !

the only peeps with bikes are those from work, are there any biker bars / pubs in preston with a friendly laid back atmosphere where I could go for a mingle?... sounds desperate - but i really dont know any bikers!... regards! -Mits-

Hi Folks - my nickname of 'twistgrip' was given to me by my RAF mates way back in the early sixties when I was riding Matchboxes and REs and has stuck with me ever since. It ame about when I had the slogan 'Twistgrips rule forever' painted on the back of my helmets. Anyhoo, I've just purchase a couple of 750 triples - one is a decent runner, although the previous owner ripped out the Instrument cluster and replaced it with a lashed up panel and a tiny speedo! T'other was described as a rolling chassis, but turned out to be a complete 750SE with a very butchered Wiring loom and missing all the handlebar controls and the lefthand front brake caliper. Both should keep me…
