    Motorcyclists in Nigeria have been wearing dried pumpkin shells on their heads to dodge a new law forcing them to wear helmets, authorities say. Officials in the northern city of Kano said they had stopped several riders with "improvised helmets", following this month's introduction of the law. Road safety officials said calabash-wearers would be prosecuted. Thousands of motorbikes have been impounded around the country and taxi motorbike drivers have staged protests. Calabashes are dried pumpkin shells more commonly used to carry liquid. According to the new law, all motorbike drivers and motorbike passengers must wear helmets. Kano Federal Road Safety …

    I just wanted to inquire that I have bought a 07 R6 Yamaha. I changed my exhaust to a devil carbon fibre exhaust on the first service of the bike (1000kms) To my surprise this sound is very low..i have ordered the exhaust which is a small exhaust similar to a stock exhaust. I have attached a pic I found on the net..it is similar to this..Someone told me that since it’s a brand new exhaust, you have to run it till 500kms to get the actual sound to it..is that true? Or did I make a bad deal!!! Pls advise. Thanks. This is what a reply i got from www.vyxxn.co.uk The silencer on the 07 R6 doesnt really do anything as the actual baffles are in the pipework underneath th…

    Q:, "what sound track would you set this to" ? This is what a brickie wrote on his insurance claim form. He tried to move half a ton of bricks from the top of a fourth storey building to the ground below.It would have taken too long to carry the bricks down by hand,so I decided to put them in a barrel and lower them down by pulley. I fastened the rope around the barrel then around the pulley then swung it over the pavement below. this is were the trouble began, you see I only weigh 11 stone the barrel jerked me from the ground so fast I didnt have time to let the rope go and met the barrel coming down. This accounts for the bruises and cuts on my upper body. I h…

    Hi peeps, I need to pick your brains for a while... Basically im moving from oxford to wolverhampton in April, i have a kia sportage 4x4 as a daily driver and also have a classic mini as a toy (not taxed or tested atm), i dont have a B+E licence so when i move i cannot put the mini on a trailer and tow it as i would be over my 750kg limit. however, a friend at work has a towing dolly, used only once and he is after £125 for it, its like a little single-axle trailer but with a turntable on top which the front wheels of the towed car sit on, this means that the car you are towing is then classed as a normal trailer and requires no driver, the Kia weighs 1500kg and the…

    It's Saturday morning (just gone) and I'm minding my own business in the garage fixing stuff and in comes the wife with a ginger kitten "look what I found" she says, Ok it's a cat say I and that as far as I'm concerned is the end of the matter, men don't do subtle do they? But women do !! 10 minutes later she's still there stroking this flea ridden scruffy lump and I'm starting to get that feeling that all men get when their women start hanging around when they normally don't, you know what I mean, suddenly they are where ever you are and showing interest in stuff that they have never shown an interest in before, so finally starting to understand that I'm required to show…

    Just wanted to whinge really. Been trying to find a replacement for our rangy. Its getting a bit jaded and we fancy moving up. Trouble being anything man enough to pull our van kicks you in the nuts with road tax. Or you cant trust either the reliability or the performance. There are a lot of cars that really should not be used for big vans. Freelanders for example. Can legaly tow our van but its a gutless bstrd. I just missed an 07 chrysler 300c v8. Gassed. Thats a 450bhp monster. Giving 50mpg equivalent. Road tax is over a grand a year WHA!!!. The diesel is still good though, but dearer? on fuel. Also. Who knows how much the fuckers will put it up. As for the e…

On her way she meets father Abraham. “Father…. Father” she says, “Where can I find mother superior?”. “she has gone to town for the whole day” the priest replies.

    OG out on a long summer ride on his DT, pulls up to a tavern in the middle of no where, parks his bike and walks inside. As he passes through the swinging doors, he sees a sign hanging over the bar: 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 bartender who is serving lemonade to wild Foamy and a couple of his Moped friends. She glides down behind the bar to the old biker. "Yes?" she inquires with a wide, knowing smile, "may I help you?" OG leans over the bar…

    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…
