Sold earlier this year too very enthusiastic 17 year old, but only 1 mile away so gone but not forgotten Pile of crud bought for a very small sum just before selling the above bike, turns out the bike was silver according too log book, lickof paiont and £800 or so later rescued from damp garage in Bournemouth 5 years ago and restored to this state work in progress I:e it is in bits everywhere

Dunno what it took to get the engine in the mito cos it was bought it that way needing fettling merv

do you mean right corners or right out of junctions? I have a theory it is a psychological thing when turning left you can lean the bike over to go a bit tighter around a bend if things are going a bit awry, but on right turns more lean over means you put yourself into the line of other traffic and uprighting the bike means you are heading for the hedge, do our USA cousins find the opposite i wonder? merv

Seen a RD400 shoehorned into a FS1E it was on ebay recently. also a Cagiva mito with a CR500 mx engine in it merv

Photocopy any license etc you post off it is not illegal to do so as it is your license, DVLA are public servants who are too useless and lazy to look into anything like this, If you ran a business like the government and public services of this country it would not last 5 days, can you imagine the laughing stock of a board meeting if it was like the houses of parliament it would be a short lives company merv

Been like it for years i think the stuff they use on the main roads here is banned on roads with a speed limit above 30 mph in ireland merv

The value of a Catholic education and a #2 pencil (this is too cute)!...You don't even have to be Catholic to appreciate this one. Little Mary Margaret was not the best student in Catholic School . Usually she slept through the class. One day her teacher, a Nun, called on her while she was sleeping. 'Tell me Mary Margaret, who created the universe?' When Mary Margaret didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend sitting behind her, took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear. 'God Almighty!' shouted Mary Margaret. The Nun said, 'Very good' and continued teaching her class. A little later the Nun asked Mary Margaret, 'Who is our Lord and Savior?' But Mary didn't stir from her slumber Once again, Johnny came to her rescue and stuck Mary Margaret in the butt with the pencil. 'Jesus Christ!!!' shouted Mary Margaret and the Nun once again said,'Very good,' and Mary Margaret fell back asleep. The Nun asked her a third question...' What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?' Again, Johnny came to the rescue. This time Mary Margaret jumped up and shouted, 'If you stick that f***#@^ thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!' The nun fainted.

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, 'How heavy is this glass of water?' Answers called out ranged from 8oz. To 20oz. _The lecturer replied, 'The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.' _ _'If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. _ _If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.'_ _'In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.'_ _He continued, 'And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.'_ _'As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. '_ _'So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work/life down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow.'_ _'Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. _Life is short. Enjoy!'_ _And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life: _1 * Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue_ _2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them._ _3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it._ _4 * Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker._ _5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague._ _6 * If you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it._ _7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others._ _8 * Never buy a car you can't push._ _9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on._ _10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance._ _11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late._ _12 * The second mouse gets the cheese._ _13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. _ _14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live._ _15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person._ _16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once._ _17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours, but they all have to live in the same box._ _18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour._
