    Im Sorry to hear that man she looks lovely! one of those snuggle down at night type dogs! your new shepherd looks just as nice tho! Labrador is cool too!

    I keep looking at your old girl and she is making me want a German Shepherd more and more every time! just need to get both the missus and 'er mother on board too lol

    Is that a female or a boy? I absolutely love German shepards! yours is gorgeous!

    Im still trying to get a "proper" answer from the mother in law about getting a dog as she said to me "i rather you didn't" which really isn't a yes or a no........but she is not replying to my messages which is pissing me off as i do want a dog for all the obvious reasons but the missus doesn't wanna get a dog in case she either kicks us out (which i doubt she will with us having our 10 month old girl) or make us get rid of the dog which we dont wanna do as it will be yet more un-necessary stress for the poor thing.

    So im stumped! Like i say we have no tenancy agreement binding us to any contract, we live in the house so are not going to destroy the bladdey place and "IF" the dog happens to brake some thing (very un likely apart from the odd hole in the garden) then we will replace/fix the damage.

    what you guys think? lol :eusa_think:

    Well this has come to a screaming stop as my Landlord (mother in law) said we cant have a dog :( even tho we have no tenancy agreement or any thing!

    So we are now looking at moving. Not only due to the fact we cant have a dog but she is a fucking bitch! our gas fire is WELL over due a service so we contacted her to say she needs to get british gas out to do the service and she came back with "can you do it and pay for it as i have no money!" so where the fuck has our rent gone too? o yer thats right 2 weeks in Goa, week long cruise for two, 1 week in Spain and a 2 week Christmas Carrabien Cruise for two 2 plus beach wedding. all in one year! Least our money is helping some one enjoy their life lol.

    Now its time to "TRY" and get on one of these first time buyers scheme things fun fun

    So you dont want a dog for the love of having a dog ! You want a guard dog ?????

    There is a Big difference !

    Sorry must have worded my post wrong at the start, I want a dog for the love of having a dog, the enjoyment of walking him/her and the whole "mans best friend" milarky but also to have it as a deterant to those who wish to help them selves to my property.

    Ryan your Sheep dog is lovely n so is your husky, will have to show the missus the sheep dog as i dont think she has even considered one yet. Whats the breed like to keep?

    And Kev, me and the missus aren't Bull Terrier people but Angus dose look quite cool lol

    Cheers for the help so far guys n i hope to have another member of my family some time in the near future to love n look after

    Hey Guys and Gals,

    Bit of a weird one but what kind of dog/s do you have (if you own a dog) just that im in the market for one and cant make up my mind which i want to adopt. I wanna get a rescue dog as i want to give one a better life/home than they previously had. The ones i found so far i like are:

    German shepherd (a big possibility)

    Collie (not 100% sure yet)

    Inuit (would love one)

    Husky (again would love one but very high maintenance)

    Lurcher (missus hates them)

    Rotty (missus is scared of them)

    I want a big dog because over the past few months there has been a spat of burglaries in my area and about 4 nights ago my front door was "tried" but was locked so they left, so from now on when im at work the missus has the doors permanently locked but when we are out together she is more nervous than you would normally be.

    So what would you guys recommend?

    Biker kiss

    in Random

    Posted

    A tough looking group of bikers were riding when they saw a woman about to

    jump off a bridge, so they stopped.

    The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you

    doing?"

    "I'm going to commit suicide," she says.

    While he didn't want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an

    opportunity either, so he asked... "Well, before you jump, why don't you

    give me a kiss?"

    So she does... And it was a long, deep, lingering kiss.

    After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I've ever

    had! That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous. Why in the

    world would you want to commit suicide?"

    "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl........".

    The authorities think she may have been pushed.

    Crash/engine bars on a XVS125?

    Personally i hate add on parts.......panniers.......crash bars.......sissy bars etc so i would say no but in a completely different breath i do see the point in them but i still think they wreck the look and lines of the bike and add too much un needed weight to a bike even more so on a 125! if you add the high way hawk catalog onto your beloved two wheeler then expect to loose up hill and over all performance. ;)

    Either way enjoy it and do what you like and keep it to your taste ;)

    Erm, anybody know why the two carbs don't have identical jet sizes? Just curious, I know next to nothing about mechanical stuff.

    I have no idea either! lol when i took my old main jets out they where both the same so i replaced them with two identical sizes in both and she runs fine. But im no mechanic and not o fey with the XVS1100

    Kevlar jeans

    I got a pair of kevlar jeans too, (never had to see if they work tho) but my old bike instructor come off his bike at 40mph with his dragging jeans on and he said apart from them riding up and getting gravel rash on his lower leg they worked great!

    i don't wear mine at the mo as i got them Christmas 2010 and i've put on a bit of fat since then and they don't fit :biglaugha:

    Hey man, i had the exact same problem with my straight through pipes, ran great on chock but when i went to over take or open her up she lost all power popped banged and farted.

    Sadly you will have to re-jet her, take the spark plugs out and i grantee they will have a whitish powder on them meaning she is running week, take your carbs out and drain them and remove the float chamber covers and see what size main jet you have in there, then go onto wemoto.com and get a few sizes up. For "example" i had 90 main jets in the carbs when i started and my needle valves where set on the 1st notch, i then went up to 122.5 main jets with the needle valves set on the 4th notch, the bike ran better at the bottom end of the rev range but died as i got up to speed (running too rich) so i then down sized the main jets to 105 with the needle valve still on the 4th notch, she now runs like a dream!

    I also had to play about with the pilot jets, when i took the carbs out i wound them fully closed and then advanced them 2.5 turns, (this was with the 105 main jets) she was a tad lumpy at the bottom end so i then advanced the pilots another 1 turn, problem was then sorted and she is groovy!

    Like i say this is just an example and it will be trial and error till you get her right, the main jets are only £3 a pop on wemoto so don't panic with the price its just a bit tedious till you get it right.

    Word of warning tho (you might already know this tho) if you ride the bike with it running either too week or too rich you will fuck the pistons up and this will be a costly re-build so if you do ride it before you do this work take it easy and don't thrash her.

    Any more help just shout! ;)
