Little Melissa comes home from 1st grade and tells her father that they learned about the history of Valentine's Day. "Since Valentine's Day is for a Christian saint, and we're Jewish," she asks, "will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?" Melissa's father thinks a bit, then says: Â "No, I don't think God would get mad. Whom do you want to give a Valentine to?" "Osama Bin Laden," she says. "Why Osama Bin Laden?" her father asks in shock.

Good Collection of Harley Jokes (And I don't mean a collection of Harley riders) Harley-Davidson: The most efficient way to convert gasoline into noise without the adverse side effect of horsepower. Did you know 95% of all Harleys are still on the road? - The other 5% actually made it home. Is it true that Harleys are chick magnets? - Yes, but only if the chick has a steel plate in her head. What's the cheapest way to get another 50hp from your Harley? - Trade it in on a Kawasaki. Why don't Harley riders sit on their bikes when the sidestands are down? - They're afraid to lean over that far. What's the difference between a Harley and a Harley owner's hom…

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…

Just a quick story of something that frightened the life out of me, I'm on my way home from visiting my Mum down in Portsmouth, and I'm just passing Swindon going down Blunsden hill, it's very steep and if you hit the top at 70+ your doing 90 at the bottom without moving the throttle, I love this hill..!

Nothing wrong with that I think and must admit had a bit of a grin on my face till I saw a kid about 10 years old on the back ..…
