Picture this..... its Friday, you're looking forward to a nice ride tomorrow, Cornwall to Bournemouth. See some mates, see my mum, and then (wait for it) go and see Gary Moore. A mixture of friends, family and a guitar god. Only thing that might spoil it is the rain, but a new oversuit will fix that. Call Damerells in Indian Queens and tell them you're running late, can you pay for it over the phone and get them to leave it outside somewhere? "I'm only going to be 5 or 10 minutes late" I said...... "We'll wait for you" came the reply.... I hammered over in the pi$$ing rain.... got there SIX minutes late (45 minute journey in 33 minutes) and all the ba$tards had gone…

A woman golfer was horrified when her drive hit a man at the next hole, He clasped his hands at his crotch in agony, the lady rushed over apologising profusely and said "I'm a physio (dontcha know) and I could ease the pain if you'd let me, he agreed to let her try and She took his hands away from his crotch and put her hand down the front of his trousers "how does that feel she said"? "magic he said but my thumb still hurts like fuk"!

Safe biking.

Hi All, Just bought a 1988 TZR 125 today! being dropped off tomorrow. It's my first bike, so I thought i'd get something cheap to learn on for a year or so. Ive got a question! apparently it's got a manual power valve. The valve is closed at the moment as the bike has had a rebuild and is being run in - what does this mean exactly? I'm new to 2 strokes as i've always had cars. When i've run the bike in, what can i expect perfomrance wise if i open the power valve? The bike also has a stainless exhaust. Cheers, Paul.

Was taken from outside of my house on the night of 27th (Feb 09) or morning of the 28th. It's red, the clutch lever was half snapped off (was about to fit a replacement), has a metal thing on the back for top boxes (and my Givi plastic plate attached).. the plastic around the headlight is slightly cracked due to coming off of it a month or so ago. Registration S544 RNT - it's datatagged too. This sucks.
