Hi , Just back from the NW200 road races in N Ireland. I have been looking forward to them all year. Gutted about the death of Mark Young as any road race fan would be. Okay the weather was hit and miss and we lost the last two races. Safety first is always paramount but the fannying around and time wasted about should we call it a wet race or a dry race lost so much time and I suspect pressure from elsewhere ruined what should have been a terrific end to the 80th year of running this great event. Let's pray there will be no more fatalities anywhere in the road racing events to come or anywhere else in motor cycle sport , but please organisors would it be possible to …

set off at 4pm to meet with a friend at Tebay. as its bedlam on the motorway (and shit) we head down the A6 and join M'way at preston, boring ZZZZ here's my bike set and ready damn windy out there and when we reach tebay, my Mike (cb750F1) was complaining of weaving on the truck ruts, i had no problems. When in Tebay and waiting for Dave (VFR750) I noticed either Mike's back wheel was in a dip or he had a flat, guess what, it was a flat. Mike was real pissed off. Dave turned up and we went round the carpark to find someone to lend us a pump as we could'nt find any puncture. eventually we gave up and Mike called the rescue. …

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, The California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. …

anyone know how to go about obtaining a cert of origin from Yamaha......the dealer lost it. I'd buy this bike in a heartbeat, ('00 WR400F) but the owner never picked up the CO from the dealer, he (seller) gave me all the info, paperwork, reciepts, and I went to the dealer he bought it from asking for the CO and the dealer can't find it..... the bike is useless to me without the CO, I want to reg it and ride it on the street and a few offroad parks that require plates.

Also in really struggling on finding some blue and white graphics for it (my kits blue and white so I want it to match) any websites that you can suggest to me? Thanks a lot

I thought i would pass em on as they maybe useful too you 2 as well 1. Wear your glasses to make sure your partner is actually in the bed. 2. Set timer for 3 minutes, in case you doze off in the middle. 3. Set the mood with lighting. (Turn them ALL OFF!) 4. Make sure you put 911 on your speed dial before you begin. 5. Write partner's name on your hand in case you can't remember... 6. Use extra polygrip so your teeth don't end up under the bed. 7. Have Tylenol ready in case you actually complete the act.. 8. Make all the noise you want....the neighbors are deaf, too. 9. If it works, call everyone you know with the good news!…
