The Bar

Those of you who know me are aware that I've been looking for a second bike/ratbike since I sold the DT175 in June. And now something has finally turned up....the right bike at the right price too. It's bought and paid for, and I collect it later. So....can you guess WHAT bike it is? Some clues..... 1. I won't consider anything that's not Jap...cos I love the inscrutable Nips! 2. I won't consider any Jap bikes assembled by inscrutable Nips if the factory name ends in "i". Go on.....take a shot! Can YOU guess what bike no.48 is? But have no fear....the rampantly Gay Honda is staying!

I don't get this, I'm booking some trips in the early part of the new year. To get to NY flying Virgin I can go on a premium economy for £400 ish notes yet the economy is only £50 less. The business class ticket is about a grand more and almost identical to the premium economy. Now, if I fix the return flight date the business class ticket becomes as cheap as the premium economy but the return flight is on a Continental. BA want almost £2k for the business ticket and £350 for the cheapie cheap ticket. It seems that small variables in the travel plans make massive differences to the flight price. What happened to the good old days of First Class, Club and Econom…

Hmm, serious complaints from the residents in the area of my work shop. I fired up an FZR600 a few times without the silencer or airbox, just the gaping hole at the end of the pipe and the open air box. Apparently it woke up a few babies 1/2 a mile away, upest the old cronies nearby and made their windows rattle and 'almost break!' There's not much scarier than an incontinet, dribbling, gummy 80 yr old bloke in his baggy Y fronts and a shirt, reading you the riot act of being a 'bloody minded hooligan.' Blaggards even called to cops ! Moral of the story - should have left it runnin so I couldn't hear them. :oops: Who said bikers aren't socially minded…

For the past 2 weeks, I haven't been riding due to a nagging headlight prob with the XJ......cleaned & replaced just about anything that remotely had to do with the headlight, still with NO positive results :? I decided to pull the dimmer switch apart one more time to check voltages, put it back together & was going to have a 30yr. Bike Mechanic friend of mine, have a go with it.......fired it up to take it over to his house---low & behold, the headlight now works!! :roll: ......has ever since :? .....probably just a bad ground @ the handlebar with that dimmer switch :wink: So now that I'm back on 2-wheels again, it's amazing how my outlook on day to day li…

It's now too cold for regular gloves so I think the purchase of a new set of thermal gloves is on the cards. What's everyone else using at the moment ? J

That woman was barkin' laa laa... Has anyone been following the news - no wonder Charles went off her. She was a looony !

You know it, we all get them. I get insane jumpers from my mum each year - weird and bizzare colours. I wonder where she gets them from as no solvent and trading business in the world would risk producing these babies ! I reckon she must have bought clothes in the mid 70's for all the Christmas's until 2020. I daren't wear them as I'd get sectioned under the mental health act or beaten to death in the street. I'll get ties, t-shirts and socks which are very handy but as no one in my family likes bikes, let alone drives a car 'cept my mum, I won't be getting those biking luxuries :cry: but a new tool for porting and cylinder heads is on the cards - cool.. what a…

Is it for peace on earth? NO! Is it that all wars will end? NO! Is it for snow on Xmas Day? NO! Is it that no one will be lonely? NO! So what is my Christmas wish for 2004? It's that Santa Claus brings John R6 a fucking bike, so we don't have another bloody year of inane questions! Closely followed by Karban's camera going belly up!

I like the door staff here - does she do pole dancing too ?
