So, that makes three of us that just found it funny then?

Fabulous!

Ouch! It's always crap when things like that happen but I'm glad you're not too hurt. Did you manage to recover the bike ok? Might be worth checking with your local council to see if they have any cctv covering the roundabout? Unlikely but worth a go. You might even get the registration of the car so you can send some friends round to discuss his driving manners

Welcome in and welcome back

I just guess where I'm going, is that wrong?

In the next life, please let me be able to do that!

What, you mean a dealer being a wanker? Surely not?? Think they offered me less than a grand for my clean, low mileage Mille as a trade-in. I told him not to be so silly...

Nah, too bland. Riding a Benelli TreK and it knocks the socks off Triumph when it comes to fun And just in case the old nonsense starts (usually from people who've never seen a Benelli), it's very reliable too

It doesn't look bad, but if we're talking 3 cylinders, I'm holding out for this one: http://youtu.be/DLiThY8drMU

That's a lie!

Welcome Naomi! A £100 bike and you even got the duct taped seat thrown in. Can feel a bout of nostalgia kicking

Last time I washed my lid, I took the interiors out to do it. No tumble dryer so it still took days to dry. For me, the cost of this thing (if it works!) is worth the lack of aggravation but I realise not everyone's not as lazy as me

Never seems to work for me? Have tried the fan, the open air, the 'wedging the hairdryer' and the stretched out in direct sunlight techniques and it always takes 3 flippin' days to dry properly! Maybe I'm using the wrong water?

Hi Folks Just found this on MCN's website. http://igg.me/at/motogroom/x A new start-up company is seeking funding for a helmet dryer and it looks really useful. Drying time after a full wash is 3 hours (as opposed to 3 days whenever I do it!) so I reckon it's worth £39 to get it going? Oh, and get a dryer as well, obviously!

No But don't let that stop you now

So, where is it you live exactly?

I really am the worst person to give that advice to...

The power of suggestion is a funny thing. Have never been interested in this subject but now have a terrible feeling that my life won't be complete without a set of these! http://www.walkerlocksmiths.co.uk/cylinder-picks-tools/pick-sets?product_id=227 On reflection, thinking how many padlock keys I've accidently given away when selling a bike (forget to take them off the keyring), it might not be such a bad idea...

My hero!

Makes sense to me. Signed

Welcome home

How about electrifying the handles? I know you will be told off for it but at least you will have the knowledge that you managed to really hurt the thieving gits before you do

We enjoyed watching that! Amazing (or not) how relevant most of that still is after 40 years. Probably more useful than a lot of information currently out...

Got to say that I'm a bit surprised that a 125 is behaving that sensitively to fuel The only thing I can think is that, if you had been using the same petrol station, they haven't been keeping their fuel tanks clean. Keep an eye out on the local paper to see if anyone else has made complaints about it!
