  15. A Man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing Among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present Of £5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money. The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty Salon, gets her hair done, new makeup; buys several new Outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells Him that she has done this to be more attractive for him Because she loves him so much. The man was impressed. The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him A new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, And some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she Tells him that she has spent all the money on him because She loves him so much. Again, the man is impressed. The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns Several times the £5,000. She gives him back his £5,000 and Reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him That she wants to save for their future because she loves Him so much. Obviously, the man was impressed. The man thought for a long time about what each woman had Done with the money he'd given Her. Then he married the one with the biggest Tits. Men are like that, you know.

  17. the way things are going, we may have to have a "stolen bike section" hope some one can help with this?
  18. In fact if your down merv's way you may be even get sprayed with the stuff!!! I have one of thoses irridium helmets and they are great for day time but too dark in the dark and if you run into someone ...eek!
  19. I wouldn't recommend xs250, 400's are way better. I do like the xs750's though especially in grey!! I know what you mean about the 125, i have a cg125 for the missus and its great fun pootling along watching the scenery. bennelli 254's are nice. and the wetdreams are cheap and plentyful. z400's are naff ( i had one) but the z750 twins look and sound brill!! BTW to the forum
  20. don't know whether to laugh or cry its too bloody close for comfort. Or maybe because I read the daily mail!
  21. try wemoto for tapered or get the numbers from there and try pyramid parts as they are always the cheapest (they deal on ebay as well)
  22. miss jean brodie (used to like that programme)
  23. I wouldn't put racing oil in, just go with mineral if you've no choice. I use Millars 20 50 semi sythn for classic engines (£38 gulp!!) I doubt you got a plastic bristle though the pilot sytem within the carb! its a labrynth of turns etc. that's why i recommend ultrasonic. If you look back on some old threads, you will note posters swearing blind that they have cleaned out the carb X many times and still come to the same conclusion that there was still crud in there. I would have thought changing the bulbs would be the easiest option first (why strip down wiring?) some past user prob cou;dn't be arsed to change the bulb and left them blown. if thats not the case, its usually corroded connections/switches) drewps
