I nod to all and sundry. One of the reasons i finally caved in and started biking was for that feeling of community with other bikers. Ive noticed that i NEVER get the nod returned from scooters or mopeds.

All my vehicles have had names. They have to earnt hem though, you cant just buy it and go its called "blah". My bikes called Seline, cos after id had her-i mean it (oh god!) for a while i was watching Underworld Evolution and when Kate Beckinsale is getting smashed in that iso container her eyes turn blue and rather sadly i was like "thats like the colour of my bike" Id have called it Kate but I already have a Celica T Sport called Ziva and my rifle at work is called Abby so if id called the bike kate it woould have been a complete NCIS chicks set and thats just wrong. So seline it was.... plus id reeeaaallly like to ride both. Ms Beckinsale is quite possibly the perfect woman.

KBC VR1 X helmet Knox Aegis back protector and then its like im sponsored by BKS cos i got the gloves free with my leathers so i thought stuff it might as well get the matching boots So i have; BKS Silverstone 2 piece leathers now with added james toseland signiture Really comfy and stood up impeccably to a low speed low side, BKS Quantum boots BKS Silverstone stingray gloves. Kind of over kill considering its a 125 that i have at the moment but the leathers will last me for yeeeears and an 80mph crash is and 80mph crash whatever you ride. Had some dickhead giving me shit about having full leathers on on a yzfr125 and he was wearing the oh so proctective hoody and jeans combo on a cbr 600rr. really hope hes had need of a skin graft since then oh also have a set of RST gloves. The BKS gloves have started to disintergrate now (dont think they fared as well on the lowside). Might get a set of knox handroid ones to replace em

love the onion news newtork... the ninja parade is great to and the computers taking over earth one.

utterly horrible music (sic) but the woman in the bottom makes up for it plus that is some bsl skills she's got there.

Different Terror Threat Levels Around The World The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada. The Scots raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards" They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years. The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability. It's not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides." The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose". Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels. The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Americans meanwhile and as usual are carrying out pre-emptive strikes, on all of their allies, just in case. And in the southern hemisphere... New Zealand has also raised its security levels - from "baaa" to "BAAAA!". Due to continuing defense cutbacks (the air force being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some toy boats in the Prime Minister's bath), New Zealand only has one more level of escalation, which is "I hope Australia will come and rescue us". Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, mate". Three more escalation levels remain: "Crikey!', "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and "The barbie is canceled". So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

thats preety cool, i like that

Brilliant.... i love it.... thats one of those jokes youve got to read though. not as funny verbally

as soon as this snows melted ill be out on it again..... even after my off i enjoyed the ride home lol. takes a lot to put me off something

time to hit up amazon then, cheers.

im newish to riding bikes, ive been riding for 6 months but have only bought my first bike a yzf r125 a couple of months ago and have already found out the hard way how crap a dodgey road surface (not the recent ice im not that brave/stupid) + inexperienced rider can be (hence my post asking for a bit of repair help lol, still as my avid biker friend (and main reason i eventually caved in and learned to ride, pointed out whilst laughing down the phone at me, you arent a biker til youve picked one up off the deck ). though iwill admit the accident was more rider error than anything but hey every day is a learning day. However my enthusiasm for riding my bike has not been dented......unlinke my yam. So as im a member of a very good car club (im a REAL petrol head, 4 wheels or two) and have benefitted and been of benefit on there i thought i would find a yamaha board to increase my ability to procrastinate. Im originally from Lancashire (near Manchester) though i live in East Anglia at the moment.

Had a little off on my 09 yzf r 125, fortunately very slowly so little damage done except to the indicator (broke the glass but not the bulb) and bent the gear selector. My mates gonna sort rebending the selector for me once i remove it and i have a new indicator to put on. However i have the mechanical skills of a gopher.... actually im ok at following instructions its just i need some instructions to follow. though i could probably work it out patience is a virtue and i thought id ask if anyone could point me in the direction of a guide or has a pictorial reference for me to follow. Oh if someone could recommend a few essential tools for me to own that'd be cool to. Thanks in advance, Hicks
