    Im really annoyed about this and want to make everyone buying this bike aware of my situation. First of all I love this great 600cc Yam its great for commuting to work in the summer months, which is the main reason I bought it. I bought the bike in June 2008, and one of the selling features were the bike was covered by a 2year warranty, and required servicing every 6000miles or Annual. What i didnt know and had no reason to suspect an issue with was the rip off servicing schedule requirments of this bike. Apparently if you ride the bike like me "low mieage you are penalised". Just had the bike 12 months so booked it in to have its Annual service (covered 3361mile…

    After being married for 40 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Honey, 40 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 18-year old girl. Now, I have a £500,000.00 home, two £45,000.00 cars, a nice big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 58-year old woman who is not a hot chick anymore. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things. My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 18-year old chick, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, drivin…

    A bit of a rant really. I am sure this will not make some people happy but there seem to be more and more people wanting and selling in posts outside the proper parts of the forum! I understand that you need to pay a membership fee to post there but it seems to me that people are posting threads and just happen to mention that "they want a xxx" or "they just happen to have a yyy for sale" or "have lots of spare parts for a zzz" Personally I would like to see these type of posts edited as it devalues all of us who have paid the cash. Well I did say some of you would be p*ssed off. End of rant.

    Coming back from dropping some bits up to dirty DT coming round the last bend after a 'spirited trip' home i spy a temporary slippy road sign, odd methinks, go a little easier down to about 40, its a 60 limit decreacing radius bend. Halfway round there is a two foot thick stripe of dry up right across the bloody road about an inch deep. Some dry some as far as i can see wet. No way round it i was thinking about what to aim at for best results from the impending lowside, i went for a dry bit as far as it goes and God knows how but the front slipped and held. I can only think its down to the fact that it had done 60 odd fast miles in the heat hence supersticky and i ran …

    This is a rhetorical question cos it's wet as a British Summer Got some kiln dried sand today. It was so wet that it left a damp patch in my car (Fnarr!). I am baking it now. (200 degrees for 30 mins, turning once ) I think that I may also need to get a bigger compressor or another one to run in tandem. Rant over.

    After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve. "So, howis everything going?" inquired God. "It is all so beautiful, God," she replied. "The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful, but I have just one problem. It 's these breasts You have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They're a real pain." And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc. She felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more "sym…

    From Bristol Evening Post: Outside Bristol Zoo is the car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming and very polite car park attendant with the ticket machine. The charges are £1. per car and £5. per coach. On Monday 1 June, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant. The Council said "That car park is your responsibility." The Zoo said "The attendant was employed by the City Council... wasn't he?" The Council said "What attendant?" Foot note: Gone missing from his home is a man who has been t…

    OldGitOnABike is out on a long summer ride in the country... Feeling hungry, he pulls up to this roadside cafe in the middle of nowhere, parks his bike and walks inside. As he passes through the doors, he sees a sign hanging over the counter: COLD BEER: £2.00 HAMBURGER: £2.25 CHEESEBURGER: £2.50 CHICKEN SANDWICH : £3.50 HAND JOB: £50.00 Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary payment, OG walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female, who is serving coffee to a couple of sun-wrinkled Harley riders. She glides along the counter to OldGit.... "Yes?", she inquires with a wide, knowing smile. "May I help you?" Old Git lean…

    fence post tortoise While stitching up the hand of a 75 year old Devon farmer, who cut it on a gate while working cattle, the rural doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Gordon Brown and his appointment as Prime Minister. ”Well, you know, drawled the old farmer, this Brown fellow is what we in Devon call a fencepost tortoise.” Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a fencepost tortoise was. The old farmer said, “When you’re driving along a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that's called a fencepost tortoise.” The old farmer saw a puzzled look on…

    Am i the only one on here who gets annoyed at the 'I posted yesterday and nobody botherd line' it seems to be on the up and really gets up my nose. I don't live on the bloody keyboard i dip in through the week and have a bit of a blast on the weekend. Thing is some of the answers can take quite a while, i generally only deal with the aircooled DT stuff cos thats what i know well but even then sorting through drawings and searching the web for the answers takes time even though you have a good idea where to look. The icing on the cake is how many times have been and gone where you spend maybe an hour sometimes sorting out somebody's post and then nothing. Don't remem…
