The Lost Bagpiper As a bagpiper, I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man who had no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery in the remote countryside and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there. As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost and being a typical man, did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew who were eating lunch but the hearse was nowhere in sight. I apologized to the workers for my tardiness a…

Hi New to forum, back to biking. Just recently bought an RD350F2 to ride for the summer, back tyre is about done and wondered if any RD riders can suggest the best tyres for the summer months. Hopefully will be mainly dry miles unless caught out by the weather. Since buying the bike have noticed that it is really skittish when on the white lines!! Sometimes scaringly so as I whip out to overtake then again when crossing to pull in. Is this normal for the narrow tyred RD's. Current tyres are Avon Roadrunners which I used to use on my RD200 many many years ago. Any suggestions welcome cheers Dave

Hi all. Have just finalised design (in me head!) for my next tat. Gonna be down my right hand side, pretty much full length of my side. But i'm really aware that its gonna hurt like hell cos of the area (though it'll be worth it!) has anyone else had ink done in similar area - was it sore? Goff, know you're the resident ink expert - maybe you can advise? Don't think that anything will put me off the idea, but just curious about how sore its gonna be!
