George Bush has a heart attack and dies. Obviously, he goes to hell where the devil is waiting for him. "I'm not sure what to do," says the devil. "You're on my list but I have no room for you. As you definitely have to stay here, so I'm going to have to let some-one else go. I've got three folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let you decide who leaves." George thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed. The devil opened the first room. In it were Richard Nixon and a large pool of hot water. He kept diving in and climbing out, over and over. Such was his fate in hell. "No!…

Hi ive taken the engine from a late 600cc fzr and placed it into a go-kart. Ive wired pretty much eveything up and the engine will turn over via the starter motor when the ignition button is pushed but there is no spark????? The voltage at the coils is about twelve volts but it is constant and not in pulses like it should be to create the spark??? will this be something to do with the sensor placed in the magneto housing that pulses the volts to the coils or what???? Please help if you have a clue!!!! thanx.

Hello people, The last time I was on here, I'd just passed my Bike Theory Test and that was nearly 2 years ago. Anyway, when I passed my Theory, I kept saying to myself, I got 2 years to do my CBT and DAS and time just flew past and the next thing I knew, I've only got 2-3 months before my Theory runs out again! I did my CBT about 3-4 weeks ago and then did my DAS Saturday to Tuesday this week and passed the test on Wednesday! The feeling is unbelievable, I'm still BUZZIN'! I came through the test with 6 minors which isn't too bad, I stalled twice (was a bit nervous at first). I thought I cocked it up at one point when I was doing the walking with the …

I i like the exhaust i have now with the R1, but im wondering what other options i have for my bike. My g/f who owns a Vstar1100 Custom S.E (04) said my bike sounds like a snowmobile (ouch hurt me, and my bikes feelings) her bike didnt sound so sweet either until she got her aftermarket pipes put on. What could i get to give my bike some growl instead of pur. Although i understand i have a sports bike shes supposed to be quite, and sporty sounding.

Just bought a 2003 R6 with Meta M357 alarm on it. Problem I have found is switching hazard lights on. I have the instructions and it says how to do it using the alarm keyfob when parked up but once bike is running can't seem to get them to work, say if it broke down and going to cost to a stop couldn't switch them on to warn people. Is this normal with this alarm? Thanks
