vulva necklaces,Apparently they're some kind of female self-empowerment thing, and not an ideal gift for the creepy serial killer in your life.

A father walks into a restaurant with his young son.. He gives the young boy three 10p coins to play with to keep him occupied. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face.. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the coins and starts slapping him on the back.. The boy coughs up 2 of the 10p's, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help. A well dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman, in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the n…

An elderly man walked into a jewellery store one Friday evening with a beautiful young blonde at his side. He told the jeweller he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweller looked through his stock and brought out a £5,000 ring. The old man said, "Oh no, surely that's not the best that you have?" Hearing that, the jeweller went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only £40,000," he said. The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, "We'll take it." The jeweller asked how payment would be made and the old man said, "By cheque. I know…

My midlife crisis came later than most so I bought a Dragstar 650 I know about bikes from many years ago so my know-how may be out of date, but here goes I cannot move/pull out the choke cable.. The choke cable is free in it's outer cable but the lever it is supposed to move is solid it only moves about 1/8 inch As I said I may be out of date but isn't the lever which the choke cable is attached to supposed to move because mine doesn't. cheers

on my 1974 dt175 i have the mikuni carb with the round slide. anyhow it has come time for me to buy some parts for it, float gasket, mostly. but i figured as long as i was at it i would finally buy a main jet. my air filter is pretty much one of the cone ones. and when i got the carb it had a lump of lead blocking the jet intake and a regular bolt in the banjo bolt hole. (basically it had a fully clogged main jet.) i removed the lead and fashioned a cap for the opening so as to allow fuel to be able to flow into the main jet intake area. but without a main jet installed, (never had one) it tends to run really rich, even with the throttle needle in the top notch. i wa…

Ok, so it started out as a small idea and grew. I AM NOT much of a poet, but I figured I would share anyway. Hey there, long haired motorbike rider, I've envied you since I was small. Dressed up in your boots and leather, Riding like you sure looked like a ball. Hey there, long haired motorbike rider, It was a beautiful day when you rode by me, The sun was out and your chrome was shining. Made me smile because you looked so free. Hey there, long haired motorbike rider, I saw you on the side of the road. We were both broke down, you got yours running, I had to wait for my car to be towed. Hey there, long haired motorbike rider, Its been 25 years an…

Hey there guys. Just wondering if anyone could help me? I have a 1985 Fz400 that i have recently got back on the road. I have noticed that the front forks seem to be quite soft. They have the TCS (travel control system) on the top of the forks which is like a air valve which i prossume you fill with air to get the correct amount of travel. After pressing the centre of the valve no air came out which either means they are leaking or just empty. Does anyone know what PSI these should have in them? Any advice or feedback much appreciated. Phil. Safe Biking.

I love this Doctor! Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it.s true? ..don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiency. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef…
