dear Agony aunt.......
I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs... Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them." I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down the drive. Although I can hear a car driving off, as if she has gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi? I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. I decided I was going to park my motorcycle next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my bike , that I noticed that the valve covers on my engine seemed to be leaking a little oil. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the dealer?

choking
A motorcycle cop comes across two bikers. One biker has two fingers up the ass of the other. " What the hell are you doing?" asks the cop " My buddy here's got some food stuck and is choking," says the one biker, "I'm trying to make him sick." "You're meant to stick your fingers down his throat, not up his ass," replies the cop. The first biker says, "Yeah, I know, but you get better results if you stick them up his ass first..."

Exaust Flange bolt broke - suggestions?
arc weld a nut on it, which will do 2 things, 1) heat up the steel/alloy area 2) use a larger socket to provide more grip drewps

Low power in one cylinder
thats how those "booster" ignition enhancers work. this works by letting the coil soak up more juice in the seconday coil and then it eventually jumps the gap (I'm talking milliseconds here). either the plug is fouling and causing resistance, ht cap causing resistance or the coil is knackered and failing. could also try a new contact breaker as this makes and breaks the circuit for the coil BTW if you can see sparks from the contacts with the cover off and the engine running, you have a knackered condensor, try earthing it properly or buy a new one.
