    Can people suggest a garage for MOTs and Services etc in the Birmingham/ Solihull area. I used to use JC Motorcycles but they moved to Warwick (not a big deal for me but the wife rides a 125 on a cbt and its a jaunt taking the scenic route lol) Cheers

    My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me. It was her beautiful younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was braless. One day 'little' sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word. She said,…

    Pets The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door. Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. The stairwaywas not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on…

    Ok, so HOW many times do we hear the pub championship winning tw@ say he has saved 3grammes from fitting a different headlight bulb. They say losing a bit of weight makes all the difference, well after that diabetic business I had/have/er? anyway. From October I am now a trim 75kg, (around 12st). That's over 4 stone down. Now this year my bike has felt a lot quicker, initially I had to change the suspension preload by quite a lot and it certainly goes a damn sight better. I thought my cock up fitting those wheels with a 40 instead of a 44 tooth sprocket would be on my to do list. Not a bit of it, pulls it fine now I have got rid of the flab. That got me wo…

    petition to get cheaper fuel for people in areas that have no public transport, the guy that has started it is a friend of mine, came from the Doncaster Area now living in devon, and is a biker these are his words Government policy cut rail services in rural areas to save money. Bus services were liberalised so that companies cherry-picked the best routes and dropped the poor payers. Rural dwellers should be compensated by discounting road fuel as cars are the only transport many of us have. A smart card used to pay at the pumps would ensure that only those who qualified got the discount. This system is used in N. Italy based on post code. http://petitions.pm.gov.…

    An anti bike cop needs to be ousted he has been nicked for speeding 3 times recently and still holds a road traffic safety position is trying to get bikes banned petition here Meredydd Hughes, former ACPO Head of Road Policing Business Area, was last year banned from driving for reaching 90mph in a 60mph zone, his third speeding offence. As the case emerged, ACPO announced he was to step down from his road policing duties. However, he effectively continues to perform the same duties as Head of Business Area for Uniformed Operations including Road Policing. A three-time convicted speeder with responsibility for road policing at this level undermines any Government r…
