Three men, a Scouser, a Manc and a Rasta all in the maternity ward waiting for their partners to give birth. The midwife comes out and tells them congratulations, they're all father's of beautiful healthy boys, however unfortunately they've run out of the name tags, and the babies have been mixed up, so if they could each go in and identify their sons from any family resemblance etc. The Manc wants to go first, so in he goes and comes out with a black baby The Rasta looks a bit confused : "Excuse me", he says, "But don't you think he's likely to be mine ?" "Probably", replies the Manc, "But one of them in there's a Scouser, and I'm takin' no chances !!!!!"

Helloooo, I'm selling my 1979 Yamaha DT125 Enduro, I'm going to sell it as a project bike, not as a spares as their really quite a rare bike, Classic Its been sat in my garage for about 4years, however, it went to a classic bikes specialist four years ago and they completely revamped the engine and gearbox. It has done 8500miles on the orgional engine before the revamp, but it is now a mint engine and gearbox with no problems. I have stripped the paint on the fuel tank and cleared some of the corrosion inside the fuel tank, however, i think ideally it needs to be acid treated. I'm going to strip all of the paint off the body work, as my dad did a bad jo…

my 2003 XVS1100 struggles to swing over hot or cold and sometimes the motor even 'stalls' the starter-motor. battery reads 13.3VDC standing and 14.2VDC at idle. Is it true that these bikes 'strip' or break their starters as a model problem? welcome any suggestions and advice... thx Miguel

Hi, please can anyone help with the following ---it would be most appreciated I own a pre 83 V50 that I use when I go to the Greek islands (it resides there). It underperforms top end despite new carB, rings, Head & base gasket, Air filter & plug. You can feel an occasional short power surge as the bike struggles up hill, but the revs immediately die to labouring mode, downchanging then results in the ultmate over revving. Additionally The baffle is missing from the exhaust & getting a replacement out there is useless so some advice on how to get a replacement would be most grateful, unfortunately I forgot to check the exhaust end pipe internal…

A: there has been an up-surge of 'water-bombing' by kids from high rise flats over the summer months. B: 1 out of 10 ferret owning motorcyclists 'who expressed a preference', said their ferrets preferred the 'Johnny suit' to their owners purchase, namely 'ferret 1st time' motorbike waterproofs' from 'Oxford'. …
