Jim worked on a building site as a brickie, one day he was late for work. When he arrived the site foreman was waiting at his Portacabin door with his watch. (a bit like Blakie from on the buses) "JIM!!" "Get over here NOW!" When Jim got there with a big grin on his face, the foreman said "Why are you late? "Don't worry about me being late boss, just call me Lucky Jim" Foreman - "What on earth are you on about?" Lucky Jim - "Well, when I saw my bus going round the corner to my bus stop, I legged it but when I got there the bus crashed head on into a petrol tanker and exploded into a fireball. If I'd been on it I would have been killed outright" Foreman - "Golly Go…

Just traded my Z400 for a TTR250 about a month ago. Been looking for a place to find info and the like concerning my bike. A friend suggested I seek out a forum and here I am. Main thing I'm looking for is help on finding accessories and parts for my machine...at reasonable or lets face it, cheap prices. Of course a new pipe and some bars are in order first thing, and later on when I actually have some wear and tear then I hope to find it helpful for that too.

Myself and my mate were going through town today, we were behind this cage who clearly didnt give a rats arse about any other driver on the road, he choped and changed lanes at will, pulling straight out in-front of everyone without looking anywhere, Now-- my mate is hot tempered at the best of times and i knew this would drive him bonkers, so after following this fella for a bit and watching his anticks on the road, we were coming up to a junction, suddenly, my mate flew past me, stuck his left boot out good and high and lamped the mirror straight off this fellas car, he then stoped beside the car to see the drivers window coming down and to receive a m…

A 10 year old boy was going to stay with his grandparents in rural Scotland for the summer holidays. "Right" said mum, "I know what your like, you won't have a shower while your there so I'm going to make sure your clean before you go. Come and get in the shower with me" In the shower the boy noticed her mums pubic hairs. "What's that mum?" A very embarrassed mum replied "That's my rabbet" When the boy came back from his holiday at his grandparents his mum said "I hope you kept clean while you were there, did you have a shower?" To which the boy replied "I certainly did mum, by the way grans got a rabbet as well, but hers has been involved in an accident." "H…

I just took my '05 V-Star 650 with 2K original miles out of winter storage (garaged). I left the bowls filled all winter (4 months) with the fuel shut off with stabulized gasoline. It started fine, but there is gasoline coming from the carburetor vent tube that ends behind the air cleaner. I had dripping gasoline and a puddle after it ran only a few minutes. What causes this? Is a repair yourself condition, or does it have to go back to the dealer. The dealer choice could be a pain because it will have to be trailered because it can't be ridden the way it is. The service manual does not give any troubleshooting for carb problems. It only has the instructions for performin…

So i have a powermac G4 MDD. I bought another HD to put in my mac as ive run out of room. The new hard drive has different connectors to the IDE ribbon. The one thats in there appears to have a brown end over the connectors. Maybe an adapter? Do you put adapters on the end of the hard drive? If so what are they called and where do you get them? This is the HD im trying to fit! http://img153.imageshack.us/i/picture0041q.jpg/ http://img219.imageshack.us/i/picture0031ni.jpg/
