Twice - once when I buy it and once before I sell it.

A servant enrolled his donkey in a race & won.The local paper read: 'SERVANT's ASS WON The king was upset with this kind of publicity. He ordered the servant not to enter the donkey in another race. Next day d local paper headline read: 'KING SCRATCHES SERVANT's ASS' This was too much 4 the king, he ordered the servant 2 get rid of the donkey. He gave the donkey to the queen. The local paper heading the news: "QUEEN HAS THE BEST ASS IN TOWN The king fainted. Queen sold the donkey to a farmer for 10$. Next day papr read: "QUEEN SELLS ASS FOR $10 This ws too much. KING ordered th queen 2 buy back d donkey & send to jungle. Th next day Headlines: "QUEEN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD & FREE The king was buried next day! Power of media!

It's in fairy good order.Only done 11000 mls. The lady I got it from only used it to commute 1 mile to work & back. In 1999 she got a job nearer home (!!!) so got a lift & didn't use the bike at all. 14 years later & dry stored in a nice warm garage, I won it on ebay . All electrics work. It cranks over & fires/runs in a fashion but stalls so carb needs sorting. Brakes & suspension feel ok for MOT but i'll have a look at linings when wheels off to fit new tyres. Don't know about CVT transmission, it seems ok on our street but with the engine stalling all the time I can't get any speed up to fully check it out. All in all I'm quite happy with it. It's very 80's in it' design & shape, so I can belive it's book max speed of 55mph will be correct, good job I was 'Born to be Mild '

Id revamp my dtr then have an r6, a r1, a XT600 then finally a kawasaki ninja zx6r. So mostly yams but a ninja has always been my dream ride.

try get some better ones for you l8r atb Nick

Hmm... I'd (finally) finish my DTs for everyday riding... and I'd love to do a full restore on my dad's 1940 flathead, but I'm partial to the character of the knucklehead so I'd probably see about getting one. I'm also liking Honda's CB1100 retro... and Triumph's 2013 Bonneville CR. But they're all probably too tall for me anyway so it's probably good I'm poor.

Is he the one who owns Slimbridge? If that's the case it's got to be "T.Rex" ride a white swan.

1/. A second FJ1200. Possibly a 3rd FJ1200, all tricked out with 'stuff'. 2/. WW2 Harley, kitted out and marked up for E-Co, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, US Army. 3/. Dragstar 650 Custom. Possibly 4, one of which will be ratted, another of which will be militarised. 4/. Something that looks 99% like a Police bike, just for shits and giggles. 5/. 1982 Honda CR 500, heavily modded - See below. That's the Top Five I guess, but there're others too, including a Yamaha Bolt, 'just because'!! And this Honda CR 500:

Here is the first picture... :-)

Saw this today and couldn't help but laugh and think of Foamy...

Some photos of the old girl as she stands now out and about. Passed MOT No advisories! WELL CHUFFED! Tax'd and MOT's ready to be abused this summer until next winter when the new engine goes in and the frame gets stripped and powdercoated. Can't wait to do that part. I'm going to seriously take my time on it and get it effin perfect! Notice the fork guards. After popular demand I got round to buying some. Also notice I haven't found a space for my speedo.

Yeah that mike!! Forgot that bit but as the question was asked by one of our colonists (Oh that is soooo NOT PC ) I thought it was ok but your still right nonetheless.

Well, since y'all got me being picky on the subject of precise language... That symbol is the Caduceus, icon of Mercury/Hermes (Roman/Greek), the messenger of the gods, guide of the dead and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars, and thieves. It symbolises commerce and negotiation, exchange and reciprocity and just about anything else involving balance. In alchemy it represents all four base elements, make and female, good and evil and loads of other stuff. Because of the above and because it was also used on a Gary Numan album cover, it is thus tattoed in flick-shading on my left shoulder. Hence the avatar. It has naff-all to do with medicine or medical practice - That is the Rod Of Asclepius, a staff with a single snake and no wings. The misuse of one over t'other is mostly regarded as historical confusion, but is always being debated by some academic or other. Sorry... something about mobile phones? They'd be somewhere around Wanker. Same results, caused by lack of attention. They think they're doing fine, not realising they haven't a clue what's happening. One moment's distraction and SMASH... dead schoolchildren and bikers all over the road. Will likely complain that the *other* party should have been watching where they were going... but will shit themselves when you square up to them and demand they put their money where their (about to be smashed in) mouth is. Different countries, diferent cultures. UK driving is actually a relatively high standard on the whole, so we are fucking merciless and crucify anyone for the *slightest* mistake. HGV drivers are supposedly notoriously bad drivers, but when you really grill people on it and investigate, they tend to mean foreign HGV drivers... but we're too polite to say such things, of course!! Lane Splitting is what the UK calls Filtering. And it is perfectly legal here, albeit a very grey area. Motorists are taught to watch out for filtering bikes, particularly in stationary or slow-moving traffic. There aren't really any set speeds, but if you're hooning down between two lanes, you're likely going way too fast. 20:20 is a common guideline - Not more than 20mph faster than the traffic you're passing and not filtering if that traffic is going above 20mph. This, however, is a guideline ratio and so some go 40 if the traffic is doing 30. Filtering generally means between two lanes on a 2/3 lane road. It can also mean down the outside of a single lane, as it's technically a type of overtake. If there's a dividing rail between your side and the oncoming traffic side, or if you're going down the inside of a traffic lane, then it's pretty much illegal. Weaving is a 'whole nuther' ball game. This is basically switching lanes back and forth into the gaps between each vehicle, or flitting from one to another. At it's best, it looks like you're doing a slalom through road cones, but with cars instad. This is generally looked upon as "NOT GOOD" by the cops - If you're going above the speed limit then it's undertaking, dangerous/reckless driving, unneccesary lane changing and whatever else they can think up. If you're going under the speed limit, it's a slightly less-naughty version of the above. generally you're more of a hazard than they'd like. Pretty much the same as high-speed filtering, but worse.
