did anyone else get this pm'd to them yesterday or day before?.... From Lizy Benson. Abidjan Cote D' I voire. Please reply to : [email protected] For my safety and security of my future I am making this proposal to you for our mutual benefit. This however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour it against your will. I am Miss Lizy Benson., 19 years old and the daughter of late Mr. and Mrs.Benson. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously during one of his business trips ,Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death, he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Ten million, Five hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10.500,000) deposited in one of the Security Company here in Cote D'Ivoire which he use my name as next of kin . He further told him that he deposited the money with my name as the next of kin, and finally told him to tell me where to find the documents of the deposit which he said was in possession of his lawyer in sealed documents held by him and asked me to collect it from him and all the necessary documents to this fund. but since I am 19 years old girl and a first year university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. Now I want a trust worthy person who can help me get this money transfered out from the Security Company here and provide an account overseas where I can get in this funds.This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions:- 1. Can you honestly take me as your own and help me. 2. Can I completely trust you? 3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account? Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible so that i can forward the documents to you after we have agreed on the conditions for your assistance. My life is not safe here and i need to be out of here as soon as possible because now that my father is dead and with me only as a female child, my uncles will be seeking to kill me so that they can have all my fathers properties. i really don't want to struggle anything with them in terms of properties but my presence will still be disturbing them. thank God they are not aware of this fund in the Security Company here, I want to leave here as soon as you help me to lodge it into a safe account in your stable country and then send me some amount to enable me prepare to meet you. Without your help, I will find it difficult to travel and transfer it myself alone with my little or no experience. I am waiting for your urgent reply with your contact phone number so that I can give you the contact of the Security Company were my late father deposited this money for you to contact them as my late father's partner. please dont forget to write me back with my private email address: [email protected] Thank you so much. My sincere regards Miss Lizy Benson. .......do these twats really get people to go for this???

I would also say to soak it wd40 1 hour before.

I think that although the R1 would be my dream choice a more sensible choice (as the R1 WOULD kill me within an hour) is the new fazer....

I just looked out and guess what - it's pi55ing down again. Still it gives you practise on wet-riding! My gear just about dries before it's next daily immersion. I bet Pete is pig-sick he's missing these wonderful opportunities to put his beemer through it's paces on slick, wet, pot-holed roads in the freezing rain.

I am currently reading The Police Rider's Handbook to Better Motorcycling. Every time I read it there is always a bit that I think to myself 'from now on I'm gonna do that'. I think my riding/attitude (now 20 years+) improves with every re-read too. It should be compulsory reading at CBT level. There is so much mental stuff you have to do when riding not just park your arse on it and go. If you haven't, read it, and if you have read it again. It'll save your life one day.

I use a dark pin-lock insert in my arai which is great and because it isn't permanent is completely ok. This has another use as it stops it misting too so you don't have to lift it when ever you're stopped at lights etc.

I was reading on another forum this berk advocating clutchless shifting as if it were an advanced motorcycle technique. He fell into the 'berk' category, however, when he went on to state that he regularly wheelied as a demonstration of his 'total' control of his machine. I, at that point, decided that clutchless shifting anywhere than in a race situation is for dickwads. As was pointed out it's ok for moto gp riders to do it as they have their bikes totally re-built after every ride - a luxury not all of us can afford!!

Take a look at this..... http://www.break.com/index/brandnewbike.html what a pr*ck

Nice one Merv I just noticed that whenever you post a gag all I ever reply is 'nice one Merv', so I'll add a bit more. This one made me larf till I wept esp. @ the bit where novice judge sh*t himself. Keep trawling the gusset of the internet and keep us posted with your finds. Much appreciated

I don't know what it was but it touched the floor when on the centrestand so the profile was app 2" too tall at the back. It doesn't sound much but the difference to the handling is shocking - it was so twitchy when off bolt upright and now it's like it's glued to the road. Cheers, Steve.

No, it's a bit too far from home. I'm getting back into biking following years of car ownership and the xj is my 1st step towards an r1/r6/new fazer/thunderace. Maybe then I'll start going further afield. This is mine after my off end of last year sporting new lights/mirrors etc all fitted whilst in a plastercast... Cheers, Steve.

hehehe nice one merv

Hi, I had Bridgestones put on mine for commuting/fun - goes like it's on rails

I had an off end of last year resulting in broken wrist etc etc. It turns out that the bike shop had fitted the wrong tyre to my Divvy. I hadn't noticed until cornering on a wet bend. I had assumed what they'd done was a-ok because they were a reputable main dealership - how wrong was I!!! Still, like someone said elsewhere biking is a continual learning experience.

I like my naked xj600. Ok, it's not a sportsbike or classy like pete's german big-bird but it's very reliable handles well and will knock out around 90mph.

It's just happened to me too. I'm glad it's not just me though. What is it with certain individuals that they are only 'happy' when they are ruining something for others?? It must be the same kind of moron that destroys bus-shelters & public phones

Now, I don't think this could be called pretty, but i do find it rather attractive. it kinda reminds me of richard iii or the hunchback of notre dame. i've seen a few on the road and they look good but i do not know how they perform. this is a contender for my next bike when the xj gets the heave-ho.

Maybe I should add that I owned a Yamaha six-string guitar too. Unfortunately, it went too quick for me and was rather leery in the corners so I sold it. I could play the 'mission impossible' theme you know - dum, dum, dum-dum, dum, dum, dum-dum.......

I'm waiting with baited breath for the most cretinous question......

Eddy, You are fat, coarse, your feet stink, you have halitosis and you bring nothing whatsoever to this forum. In short, you are objectionable and your presence is not welcome. As the football song goes.....'it's nice to know you're here.......NOW F*CK OFF'

thanks for that - she's still not impressed!

Eddy, you are just a fat lardy american who would love to be able to ride a bike if only the fire department would take off the side of your trailer so you could go outside.

LOL Is this really the best use of the internet that people have come up with??

Yay Merv, would you tell my missus this as i'm looking for a defender 90 or 88" landy even as we speak but 'er indoors hates 'em!! Please tell her how sensible this is for the winter period. Cheers m8 I know what you mean LC I've been away from biking for a few years now and making a faltering comeback. I reckon the roads are so much poorer than the last time i was on two wheels - potted, greasy, and SO MANY MORE W*NKERS IN CARS that just don't give a rat's arse for anyone else. Is it just my imagination, but, only about 10years ago I used to ride 12months a year on a DT with no probs at all even through fairly deep snow? I don't blame you switching to 4 wheels for the winter. Since i bust my wrist i watch other bikers from my car and keep thinking how i DON'T envy them. I think I'll keep my riding for the more reasonable weather too.

no, mine wasn't ice it was just a wet & greasy arrow about 3 months ago. i was having a hissy-fit at the time with some tw*t in a car (1st rule of biking - RIDE DISPASSIONATELY) took the bend a bit quick (2nd rule ADJUST SPEED ACCORDING TO CONDITIONS) fish-tailed a bit then hit the tarmac. no damage to bike as you might have seen elsewhere in the pics but f*cked up my lid, again pics posted, this being a ball-acher (400 quids worth). my wrist i can stand as it's given me a nice little break [lol] over christmas anway, while i'm chuntering on, as someone else pointed out it probably won't be the first or last time that we've all had tumbles off bikes, BUT i've found, as you get more experienced you fall off less but, also, it hurts more and takes longer to recover
