The Bar

I not long ago agreed to buy a tidy little Honda CG 125 (hope no-one is offended ) and i have the cash burning a hole in my pocket. but the seller is adament that he will not release it until he has fixed the caburation and a minor electrical problem on it.

Ponder on these imponderables for a minute:- 1. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented? 2. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes? 3. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? 4. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? 5. If love is blind, why issexy lingerie so popular? 6. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? 7. When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say? 8. Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a racing car not called a racist? 9. Why are a wise man and a…

Have a 'gid yin' Fosdyke, and many happy returns !

Just thought I'd introduce myself and say a quick 'hello'! I bought a 1999 Yamaha SR 125 a couple of weeks back and happened across this forum when searching for Yamaha related stuff. I've had a bit of a poke around the forums and everyone seems very pleasant!

Hey all, Yesterday I was looking through a few posts which had included in them a little sign that told me what my IP address and ISP were. Kind of like a cartoon picture of a sign inserted into the posts (there was more than one) and some had a picture of a penguin next to it. It looked like it was part of a particular string of posts. I logged out and it doesn't seem to be there now. No probs with my computer or any other sites. Bit of a worry. Any ideas?

Daughter went up to dad just before Christmas and said. "Dad, please, please can I have a barbie doll for Christmas." Dad said "No! Fuck off, do you think I'm made of money?" Daughter said "Please, please, please dad I will do anything to get a barbie doll for Christmas" Dad said "What anything?" "Anything at all" said the daughter. "Right, suck on this" said dad Halfway through she spat it out and said "this tastes like shit!" "Yeah, I know, your brother wants a mountain bike for Christmas"

Hi I'm looking for some advice re. my 1987 RD350 YPVS F2. Before the worst of the weather hit us, I cleaned the bike down, oiled it, greased it, and dowsed in corrosion protector. But now, just a couple of weeks later, it starts (just) and then begins to make 'fart' noises from the left cylinder. After 30 seconds or so, dirty smoke comes out the left exhaust. Then it lets rip with an almighty backfire, accompanied by a small flame out the back. Then cuts out. I have checked the plugs are ok and clean. The compression seems fine, as with plugs out I can feel good pressure when the engine is turned. I've had the exhaust off to make sure there are no big car…

Hello all. A quick question. I have a 1974 DT 175 Trail. It has 1200 miles on the clock and is un damaged , just dusty/dirty. I know that I must not offer the bike for sale here, but I do wish to find out how much it may be worth. Or how to find out its value. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. Thanks. F PS If this post is in breach of the rules, then I apologize, and moderator please remove this post.

Your wife decides to go out with her friends drinking and dancing.... You're okay with it, because you get to watch sports and play on the Internet all night... You hear her stumble into bed around 4 and laugh knowing she's going to have a monster hangover.... You wake up the next morning and go outside to the family Volvo, which she used last night.... You sigh in relief because it's all in one piece.... You circle the car looking for dents and find none.... But .... Wait... Wait just a damn minute...

got nthis from the birds site http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20100122/tuk-speed-camera-fines-driver-of-parked-45dbed5.html

I'm thinking of buying an 09 650 vstar silverado. My wife and I like to ride together but our combined weight is around 270 lbs. Do you think that the 650 will be able to haul us at 65-70 mph. We don't do much highway riding usually roads at 40 mph speed limits. Do you think that this bike would be right for me?

Would anyone in the UK buy one of these? My link I know sports bikes are losing there appeal what with all the speed cameras and that but really why would you want something like that

Im looking for a set of FZ600 carbs. Can anyone help. Tried EBAY with no luck.

Hello Just nearing completion of the DT175mx project and having great difficulty in sourcing a decent seat foam. (or entire seat) I have tried to make one but the fact that the originals are moulded is the very thing that forms the original look and shape of the seat. Amyone got a spare foam or make recommendation on where to get one? Cheers Nick

hese are actual comments (?) made on students' report cards by teachers in the New York City public school system. All teachers were reprimanded (but, boy, are these funny!) Some might even apply to someone you know... yah, sure: me... will you get a reprimand! 1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig. 2. I would not allow this student to breed. 3. Your child has delusions of adequacy. 4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. 5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them. 6. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing…
