moto gp
yes agree best race for a while, yes agree Yamaha are best team but unless someone takes Stoner out every race then he has the best bike/rider combination Also have a look back and see where Yamaha were before Rossi joined and i personally think he and his team will make Ducati competitive at least Also thought the Moto 2 and 125 races were superb great to see Young Bradley Smith and all the other Brit boys doing so well, long may that continue

Moto2 or moto gp
Im a Rossi fan but i reckon Stoner if he can stay on will win this year and moto 2 is better to watch imo

crimbo joke thread
A young man called Chris from London wanted to buy a Christmas present for his new girlfriend. They hadn't been seeing each other for very long and she lived in Scotland . Chris consulted with his sister and decided, after careful consideration, that a pair of good quality gloves would strike the right note... not too romantic and not too personal. Off he went with his sister to Harrods and they selected a dainty pair of fur lined quality leather gloves. His sister bought a pair of sexy knickers for herself at the same time. Harrods had a free gift wrap offer but the assistant mixed up the two items, the sister got the gloves and Chris unknowingly got the knickers. Good old Chris sent off his gift wrapped present in a parcel with the following letter. Dear Maggie, I chose these because I've noticed that you are not wearing any when we go out in the evenings. If it had not been for my sister I would have chosen the long ones with buttons, but she wears shorter ones (which are easier to remove). These are a very delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair she had been wearing for the past three weeks and I hardly noticed any marks. I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart in them even though they were a little bit tight on her. She also said that they rub against her ring which helps keep it clean. In fact she hasn't needed to wash it since she began wearing them. I wish I was there to put them on for you the first time, as no doubt many other hands will touch them before I have a chance to see you again. When you take them off remember to blow into them a little bit because they will be naturally a little damp from wearing. Just imagine how many times my lips will kiss them during the coming year. I hope you will wear them for me on our next date. All my love, Chris P.S. My mum tells me that the latest style is to wear them folded down with a little bit of fur showing.

WEE JOKE
A beautiful fairy appeared one day to an immigrant claimant outside the Social Security Offices. 'My good man,' the fairy said, 'I've been told to grant you three wishes, since you’ve just arrived in England with your wife and seven children.' The man told the fairy: 'Well, in Pakistan where I come from we don't have good teeth, so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them.' The fairy looked at the man's almost toothless grin and --PING!!! He had a brand new shining set of gold teeth in his mouth! 'What else?' asked the fairy, 'two, more wishes, to go'. The refugee claimant now got bolder. 'I need a big house with a three car garage in Birmingham with eight bedrooms for my family and the rest of my refugee relatives who still live in my country. I want to bring them all over here. PING! - In the distance there could be seen a beautiful mansion with a three car garage, a long driveway, a walkout patio with a BBQ, and a sparkling swimming pool and a BMW, full of his nephews playing their music. 'One, more wish, left for you', said the fairy, waving her wand. I want to be British with British clothes instead of rags, and shawl and I want to have white skin like the British.' PING! - The man was transformed, wearing worn out jeans from ASDA, a dirty Primark T-shirt and a greasy baseball cap. He had his bad teeth back and the mansion had disappeared from the horizon. 'What happened to my new teeth?' he wailed. 'Where is my new house? Where’s my Visa Gold Card?' The fairy said 'Tough luck. Now that you are British, you're entitled to sweet f*** all like the rest of us”. And she disappeared

THE TAX MAN COMETH
THE TAXMAN COMETH At the end of the tax year, the Tax Office sent an inspector to audit the books of a Synagogue. While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, 'I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings?' 'Good question,' noted the Rabbi. 'We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles.' 'Oh,' replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way: 'What about all these bread-wafer purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?' 'Ah, yes,' replied the Rabbi, realising that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. 'We collect them and send them back to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send us a free box of bread-wafers.' 'I see,' replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi. 'Well, Rabbi,' he went on, 'what do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?' 'Here, too, we do not waste,' answered the Rabbi... 'What we do is save all the foreskins and send them to the Tax Office, and about once a year they send us a complete dick.'

Yamaha DT125R 06 - HOW DO I MAKE IT FASTER?
i think the dt was a bike for some off road fun as well as being able to use it on the road so it was not really ment to go really fast My Daughter has an NSR125 and using a gps does 112 mph no mods completly, standard bike that is de restricked, that involved taking a plate out the carb and removing a seam in the exhaust and that was it before it would still do 75 - 80mph (more than fast enough for a learner driver) but would not live with a TDR on the road
