    Welcome to the forum honey. Enjoy your stay
  2. Really? Is that why from 1812 to 1815 during this war 1,600 British and 2,260 American soldiers had died, and we invaded Chesapeake Bay and suceeded in burning down the White House, the Capitol and other public buildings - i think we kicked your ARSE Actually they are: Goblety-gook - which is actually spelt GOBBLEDYGOOK gobbledegook, gobbledygook noun INFORMAL DISAPPROVING language, especially used in official letters, forms and statements, which seems difficult or meaningless because you do not understand it: This computer manual is complete gobbledegook. (from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary) Jollygood which FYI is in fact TWO WORDS. jolly good OLD-FASHIONED used to express approval of something that someone has said or done, or to show that you have heard or understood what someone has said: "I've left all the papers you need on your desk."

(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary) Maybe you should get yourself a dictionary and do some proper reasearch old chap Actually they were invented my an American Indian Chief named George Crum in 1853. But the Irish actually developed flavoured crisps in 1953. So unless you are an American Indian or Irish then no, you didnt invent them. I have to agree with you on this one Many of us ride in all weathers - and wearing proper gear too - T shirt and demins on a bike(how SMART is that!!) wont save you from the tarmac darlin. As for living in a region where we can freeze to death - just goes to show how much tougher we are

    Exhaust Help

    I have - im still waiting on a reply. I just thought someone on here might know thats all.
  5. I've just bought a Silvertail Pro-S 2 in 1 exhaust system for my XVS650. Will i have to get it rejetted once its fitted or should it just go straight on no messin? Ta! Goff x
  6. Im after a Hyper Charger for my XVS 650. If anyone has one gathering dust or can point me in the direction of one that wont cost me an arm and a leg then i shall be most grateful. Ive had a butchers around some of the shops ont he tinterweb and the prices are bloody ridiculous. Ive tried Evilbay, and they are relatively cheap in the US, but none of the sellers are willing to mark it as a gift so i'll get slapped with an import duty bill which kinda defeats the object. Any help/suggestions/a cuppa tea and a jaffa cake would be bloody marvellous.
  7. Im usually up at Rivvy, Big D's, or other such places of a weekend. Ill certainly shout if im gonna be out and about though
  8. Oooh i missed this one! Im a 37 year old female currently studying for a degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics at Salford Uni. Gave up my career of 7 years as a tattooist to follow summat new - and im lovin it. Pottering about on a Yam XVS650 to which im adding my own "spethul" touches to

    Hey Sanders - welcome to the forum. LTR - i was EIGHT
  10. That is soooooooo bad.....no really....it is
  11. Ill be popping over to Rivington Barn this sunday (17th Feb) -weather permitting. If anyone else is going come say hello - you cant miss my bike its the Vampire Machine lol
  12. I ride as often as possible. Ive been going to uni and back all this week and tonight i had a numpty complete with pillion come up past me at a great rate of knots while the traffic i was in was approaching a junction. He slammed his brakes on and proceeded to squeeze himself in front of me and the car in front of him! Now there was plenty of room for him to pull in next to me but why he didnt do this i have NO idea.....maybe it was because i was on my little cruiser and he on a GSXR - no offence to sportsbike riders intended but it seems to be some of the sports bike riders that are the worst! I rode a CBR myself up until last year and i dont recall feeling the need to try and take out/scare/bully another biker on the road with it - so it definately aint the bike. I have stopped going to places like Matlock Bath on a weekend due to the number of pillocks with a death wish that want to try and turn me onto paste under a car/bus/truck along with themselves on the bends. Ok so i dont ride as fast as some would like and im not trying to break the world land speed record on a sunday afternoon, but i actually ENJOY my bike as it is and dont feel the need to tear up the tarmac and prove what a fantastic rider i am on a weekend, and i just wish these people would think about other road users, especially other bikers. Glad your ok though honey

  15. lol im not THAT daft - im a tattooist by trade (hence all my ink lol) so i did my homework!

    Hey Tantalus!!! We miss you over there you know honey. Come back and visit us from time to time and say hello!
  22. Here's what i've just had done on my XVS650. The pics were taken before it was laquered so it will looke a lot better once its back. I should be able to collect my bits this coming saturday so once the bike is back together ill post pics of that it looks like complete. The guy who did it does this as a hobby and i think he's done a beltin job - all for £150 (exluding base coat and laquering cos he only does the artwork!) I know its not everyone cuppa tea but its certainly mine and a real one off - im proper chuffed
