Do we motorcyclists just expect bad service? After my bad experience with Hein Gericke I put this to one side and decided to get some parts for the old TS. Sent Crooks Classic Parts an email with the parts I was looking to price up using their online form. The name, part number and quantity of each part I wanted was all on there. Left my phone number and email. They have a good search facility on their site and the parts (bar one) all seemed to be in stock. I did this Friday. Left it Saturday as I presumed that they would be busy with walk in customers. Called them Monday and they took my name and said they would get back to me. Thursday now and I have not heard a thi…

I was just wondering if I am the only person not to Tweet, Face(?), Link or anything else? Everyone seems to want to talk about themselves and wherever I go the talk is about "Social networking" - How social it can be using your phone or computer is beyond me! I thought it was more anti social and social was meeting up with your mates. I even get random emails from people who I have only spoken to about some possible work asking me to add them to my "friends". I don't even know these people and a 5 minute conversation about a possible work contract doesn't mean we are mates! Personally, I don't do any of it. I think it can be dangerous and I don't want to know that…

Yesterday someone tied a bomb around an 18 year old girls neck in Australia, It was in a well too do area apparently, possibly extortion, anyhow it took bomb experts 10 hours to diffuse the bomb, I wonder if it would have been quicker if it was a bloke that had the bomb around his neck !!!!! :lol: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-14398198

After DirtyDT's extremely poor customer service from Hein Gericke, thats Hein Gericke, I see that there are some other people who are disappointed to have received poor and unhelpfull service from Hein Gericke, Hein Gericke gear is not a cheap low end merchandiser of any sort, their gear is of a very high quality and is reflected in Hein Gerickes pricing strategy, i.e. you get quality at a premium cost from Hein Gericke-try telling that to the staff at Hein Gericke, here's an excerpt from the MCN, thats the Motorcycle news, the Motor Cycle News is a magazine, containing News about Motor Cycles-hence its name Motor Cycle News, or MCN for short, here they posted a let…

A Guide to jockland... Geology Scotland didn’t exist until the Emperor Hadrian, correctly identifying the threat from Scandinavia (only 6 or 7 centuries too early) had a defensive wall built along the northern shoreline of what would later become England. His Sappers tipped the spoil from digging out the foundations of the wall in to the sea, and this spoil gradually settled to become land. The weight of the spoil disturbed the underlying geology off the sea-bed, resulting in unique deposits welling up through the settling land-mass. These included the spunk off long-dead dinosaurs, which rose through the earth to form porridge bogs; and dinosaur fat - rendered …

A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night? The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound; a sound like no other that he has ever heard. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, We can't tell you because you're not a monk. The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way.. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of th…

I would rather go to watch the Tour de France for the duration than the week at the IOM. If you had a choice, and could only go to one, which one would it be?

parked up at macdonalds , free wifi connection coaxed me in , so after a long wait for my food and drink , (fast food indeed) i sat down powered up the laptop ,and googles your oyster so to speak. anyway to cut a long tail short, after getting lost in the world of web i drunk up and was ready to leave, when my mates showed up , so as not to appear ignorant i ordered another coffee had a good laugh , then i got my arse and elbo's together and it was pissing down , so anothe coffee and fruit bowl fingy and back on the net till it stopped, this took a total of 2hours and two minutes ,your allowable time to enjoy yourself at mcds is only 90mins. there is notices …

Riding along on a sunny day, what can annoy you more than the dickhead car driver in front attempting to wash his windcreen with badly aimed washer jets, causing your visor, lethers and jeans to become misted with chemically tainted stagnant water? Well let me tell you........riding along a motorway on a sunny day, centre lane, waiting to pull out into the fast lane, traffic on both sides and a National express coach in front. Suddenly and without warning, it starts to rain, not heavy, just that drizzly misty stuff known down here in the South West as Missle, only the skies are blue, not a cloud in sight......WTF! Only after a couple of seconds does it register that th…

today i was at rivington barn a large bikers meet,inside the main barn was a photo exhibition stand with photos of bikers coming over the top of the hills knees down and such like,there were three photos of me on my bike just out of intrest i asked the girl on the stand what the score was,£14.95 for an A4 print what for a photo of myself. or £3 for a copy e mailed. now i am not vain but i am tight so i asked who gave her permission to take my photo to which she replied i dont need permission. have found one of them on the internet but its imprinted across the photo copy right of the photography company. cheecky barstards.

I can't find any panniers small enough not to foul the indicators or to have me sitting on them. I don't want to get a rack as It isn't really cost effective, I don't like big tankbags unless I am away for a long while (I have a Bagster cover fitted) and tail packs/bags make it really difficult to hop on the bike as the rear seat is stepped up a lot. I have been looking for options for weeks and it is getting to me . Should I get a National Express coach there? The last bit was a joke by the way. Picture of the dilemma.

The local Yamaha & Suzuki dealers van pulls out on you in the rain on the way home! He did wave "sorry" but I guess it is one way to drum up trade

Watching this now on C4. The Fairy Jobmother was doing a mock interview with a middle-aged, long-term unemployed fellow: Fairy jobmother: What is your biggest weakness? [the bit in an interview where you respond to the interviewer by saying that your weakness is going to work to early, taking work home, enjoying meetings; the usual bull] Middle-aged fellow: My biggest weakness, hmm, my sugar diabetes. I laughed myself silly, sugar diabetes, wtf?

I sat there with a smile on my face as my girlfriend wrapped her hand around it and started to tug at it. An even bigger smile when she gave it a little wiggle and started moving it around. I couldn't contain myself when she started using two hands, so I eventually laughed out: "Here love, I'll change gear for you". --------------------------------------------------------- Andy Murray is to be sponsored by 'Pritt Stick'.
