Some stupid cock suckers stole my pride and joy, in broad day light from a fish n chip shop in Wakefield. White transit van sighted speeding off. Doubt i'll ever see her again but any sightings will help. Black R6 with a carbon scorpion can, black double bubble and a pair of Michelin Pilot Power 2CT's. 05 bike on a 57 plate. Police are on the look out but we all know they don't give a shit. Ride safe guys and chain them bikes down, don't be a victim of these stupid, stealing, cock sucking bastard

Joe wanted to buy a motorbike. He doesn't have much luck until, one day he comes across a Harley with a 'For Sale' sign on it. The bike seems even better than a new one, although it is 10 years old.

To resolve the problem, Paddy and Maggie went to see the Veterinarian since there was no doctor within thirty miles who could be relied upon not to gossip. However, the Vet didn't have a clue about people. But he did recall during hot summers, his mother and father would fan a…
