Hi there everyone, i'm new on this site as i have just bought my first baby drag. I have wanted a dragstar since first seeing one in 2001, i finally got my hands on one and she's a beaut! i have no pics to post at the mo, but shouldn't be long. I have been thinkin of swappin over the pipes and wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to which ones would sound and look mean. the louder the better! i haven't set any alarms off going past them yet, that's all i want. i offer the hand of friendship to all who love drags, they are lovely aren't they! peace and happiness, and ride safe.

Hi all, Going to France in May with a firm called `British Bike Tours`, going to the `Bridge in the Sky` tour. and because this is my first time abroad on the bike..FZ2 600, going with a mate as well, we chose to go on an organised tour first. My reason for this thread is that i would like any feed back from any bikers who have been to France, even to the Bridge in the Sky tour, on advice of what to take on these tours? books to get maybe, places to visit, tips on anything really. I think that if it all goes so well in May we will try on our own to do another trip, so any feed back greatly appreciated please!

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer. As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, 'You know what? 'You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side...

I'm looking for my wife and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." The young guy says, "That's OK. It's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate." I said, "Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like?" The young guy says, "Well, she is 24 years old, tall, with blonde hair, big blue eyes, long legs, big boobs, and she's wearing tight white shorts, a halter top and no bra. What does your wife look like?" I said, "Does…
