    Doctor Dave. Doctor Dave had slept with one of his patients and felt guilty all day long No matter how much he tried to forget about it, he couldn't. The guilt and sense of betrayal were overwhelming. But every now and then he'd hear an internal reassuring voice in his head that said: "Dave, don't worry about it. You aren't the first medical practitioner to sleep with one of their patients and you won't be the last.... And you're single. Just let it go." But invariably another voice in his head would bring him back to reality. Whispering...... Dave!!!!!!!! Dave!!!!!!!! Dave!!!!!!!! ....YOU'RE A VET DAVE!!!!!!!!!…

    Sharing with Kev !! The guys were all at Squires. No one wanted to share with Kev, because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns. The first guy (pilningas) shared with Kev and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you? He said, "Kev snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night." The next night it was a different guy's turn (SirCardboardDave). In the morning, same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you? You look awful! He said, '…

    When I was a youth in the early 70s you could strip & rebuild a bike down with a lump hammer a pair of pliers & a tin opener , sometimes if lucky had enough bits left over to make a spare engine , if we needed a vice we used to get this big fat lass ( yes there was only one to a village in them days not 80% like now)tie her hands behind her back stand her in a bucket & rivet a mars bar to her knees she'd bend over for hours with a con rod up her ass till job done , but the mars bars tasted bit sweaty! Also a thing that is not practiced today is retreading worn tyres with melted wellies with various designs of spud bashers for the tread we used lard…

    Hi everyone I've owned a DT100 since 1982 having bought it off a mate for £100. This has been in bits since i first stripped it down in that year to do up. What I'd like to know is if the down pipe of a similar year 125 will fit the 100? Originally I was intending to do it up with the same colour scheme as the IT bikes of the era, with red frame and white paint, but now as I've got older i will do it in its original colour, trouble is I forgotten what it was???

    Hi guys.. I'm in dire need of help with my little one! I've sold it to my girlfriend, just before the winter, before winter layup, she was as sweet as anything, only little niggldy electrical problems. After the winter, i noticed that she was as difficult as anything to start, and once she was actually trying to move, she was spluttering and repeatedly flooding the spark plug. Few days after, I noticed that she kept spitting fuel back out of the overflow in the carb.. So my immediate thought was worn float needle/seat. Dropped the carb, inspected it all, and theres some reasonably bad wear on the needle where it sits, so i'm trying to find another.. If anyone out…

  19. Why do they do it?? Most are cover sites for other gubbins and nearly all are useless!! Why is it virtually impossible to get a service/workshop manual for a yamaha xvs 125??? Purrleease do not recommend produtools or whatever they are called... a cover for just a download site who try to take over your computer. I thought proper club sites helped to find these things but alas no. The electronic sites are as bad. Usually giving you 72 hrs to read the pdf if not they close it off for you to read!! Having paid for it!!!!! There, i`ve got it off the old chest..... I feel marvelous! What tool is needed to adjust the mixture/air screw on same bike? It is virtually impossi…

    I have had RD400-1 SORN since I the old tax ran out in January. I just went to tax it and the DVLA site informs me that since the bike isn't SORN and hasn't been taxed since January I might get communication from the enforcement people (I am sure that means a fine). I am sure it was SORN'ed so I check back through my emails and, lo and behold, there is an email confirming the bike was SORN'ed on 29th January. The road tax website has a helpline number so I call it, after much pressing of numbers to make sure I get through to the right person, a message telling me the call will be recorded and many messages to tell me they are very busy I get through to a person.
