Hi everyone I've dreamed about getting back on two wheels for years now, ever since my BMW R80 died a death back in 1990. Tomorrow I pick up my 'new' bike ... starting small until I get back into the routine again, on a Yamaha SR250. Very excited but also s--t scared at the same time. Would love to meet up with other bikers in the Yorkshire area, if you'll have me! Lorain

Hello, and I am glad to be back, sold my TDM back in 2007, had two SV650S since and have just ordered a Lava Red XJ6S Diversion from our local Yamaha dealer, test rode it yesterday and now think the SV is a tractor!!! It all happened by accident, went to look at second hand bikes, one I had seen on their site had gone so was talking to the salesman who asked my budget and then informed me I could afford a new bike instead of a second hand one, so, after tormenting the missus, the deal was done, roll on Sunday and the Wirral Egg run the Sunday after (28th)!!!

So you're a senior citizen and the government says no health care for you, what do you do? Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 Members of Parliament and 2 Members of the House of Lords. Of Course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head, and all the health care you need! New teeth, no problem. Need glasses, great. New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered. And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care. Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes any…

This is a legitimate E-mail and not made up Dear Sir/Madam/Automated telephone answering service, Having spent the past twenty minutes waiting for someone at Strandtown police station to pick up a telephone I have decided to abandon the idea and try e-mailing you instead. Perhaps you would be so kind as to pass this message on to your colleagues in Strandtown, by means of smoke signal, carrier pigeon or Ouija board. As I'm writing this e-mail there are eleven failed medical experiments (I think you call them youths) in Parkgate Crescent, which is just off Mersey Street, Belfast. Six of them seem happy enough to play a game which involves kicking a f…
