  1. Hey peeps. As those of you following my Facebook profile may have already seen, I've dragged another decrepit contraption out from behind the block. The chappy is going over to my storage unit for a few years, I'm slowly emptying my garage on base in preparation for the big move. One of my more forgotten projects is 'Junk-Junk'... The name says it all, two bits of junk bodies together. The bike came from ebay, some guy dragged it out of his garden and I bought it unseen, it's covered in rust but the wheels are fairly round so it works fine, cut up some straps to make handlebar grips. The engine came from an autojumble, and is in similar condit…

    A fantastic day up here today so me and the boy went away a run, nowhere in particular, just following the front wheel. I passed a wee slip road and remembered it was a decent wee 'B' road I 'discovered' last year. Some fab views and definitely made for bimbling

    Hi all, Just need a bit of advice. I have injured myself - not through riding - but have damaged my neck and shoulder and it is highly unlikely that I'll ride again before the new year. My bike is new ( this years model ) and is being kept in a shed with a cover on. My concern is that of it not being run for perhaps 2 months or more dependant on my recovery...what should I be doing? Should it be centre standed, rather than side standed? What about the oil in the engine? Still new to all this and need to ensure that I get into the new year with an operational machine... Any advice that you can offer would me much appreciated. Regards, Matt.

    Hey peeps. Came back from work last night to find a Notice of Intent to Prosecute from the south wales police on the mat, doing 35 in a 30 (yes yes i know, im worse than Hitler, i kill babies with hammers, I punch nuns in the face and all that other hippy bullcrap). Ive filled out the S172 and sent it back along with a letter asking for photographic evidence of the vehicle, what device was used to record the speed, proof of calibration e.t.c, is there any other way i can squirm my way out of filling their piggy banks? insurance is a rip off as it is (1300 for Pajero, 1200 for FTO) and i dont want to have to fork out more of my hard earned when renewal time comes around…

    Ok - For once I haven't slept in. I've actually got up when the 5am alarm has gone off. Had my wee bowl of cornflakes and about to hit the gym before work as I type this.. Bikes outside and warmed up. All good. Except for the fact that at some point earlier this year I must have moved to somewhere just outside a rainforest as yet again it's friggin pouring down yet again. No point to this comment - I jjust need to moan ..... hope everyone has a good (dry) day ..... like that's possible.
