Sir Tom Jones

another newbie welcome crawlspace i aint been on here long but have lots of input from these guys and girls sounds like you have your hands full with all those bikes and also very talented to do custom parts.I to have a little tinkle with one of bits but on my vespa scooter but trying to change a few little bits on my thundercat as we speak nothing to big though still abit of a learner with big bikes. Laters Sir Tom

Couldnt agree more with your tool set twirly but you did miss out one and thats the 50p spanner from B&Q which convinces you it is a snap-on in deferent packing.. Good for ripping your knuckles off on the first atempt as the bloody thing breaks on that nut that hasnt moved for a few years and after the swearing and shouting and the wife saying "carm down you wont get any where like that" is it just me or does that wind you up even more specially when they say it with a smile on their face. Then its onto the vice grips say no more

you never know maybe for a very small fee but really all depends on how mine come out as the first atempt was crap gonna sort them out tomorra polishing wise and take them in next week will let you know how they come out.

Mate sent this to me made me giggle. THE MIRACLE OF TOILET PAPER Fresh from my shower,I stand in front of the mirror,complaining to my husband that my boobs are too small. Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, heuncharacteristically comes up with a suggestion. "If you want your boobs to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between them for a few seconds." Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in front of the mirror, rubbing it between my boobs.How long will this take?" I asked."They will grow larger over a period of years," my husband replies. I stopped. " Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my boobs every day will make my boobs larger over the years?" Without missing a beat he says: "Worked for your ass, didn't it?" He's still alive, and with a great deal of therapy, he may even walk again Stupid, stupid man.

not having a good start to the week Well it all started with me thinking i could get loads of my ali stuff anodised for nothing just thought i could tart the cat up abit as this is now what i do so after pulling half of it to bits and taking them in to get mate to do it for me guess what they came out crap not happy but the gear linkage is a lovely shinny chromish colour so this cheered me up abit after talking to the boss trying to work around it as not sure if they like you doing homework he turns round and says polish them up and ill do them for you in a defferent tank and they will be the dogs and cost nothing see there are some bosses out there who are human afterall watch the space as soon as i have got it back together ill get the pics on here. sir tom

There is going to be a rideout starting from Norwich Showground (norfolk) heading to Great Yarmouth and then onto Lowestoft(suffolk) all bikes are welcome it happens every year except 2004 when they would rather have the POP beach thing on and it clashed with the rideout and as they eckon not enough police to do the two one had to give way.Every year there is at least 1000 taking part,police escort etc a brill day will let you know the cost as soon as i have it but last year it was £6 to take part.I have been told the forms will be available next month some time. As soon as i get hold of one i will post more info.. All money raised in the past has been handed to the James Paget Hospital (gorleston) Cheers Sir Tom

Yeh i think you are right i thought it might have been the fact that we had done the chain while using one of those ABBA stands instead of the side stand but this proved worng as i done it on my own with the ABBA and its great so it must have been the fact we done it a a loose part. Arent those ABBA stands great its my mates but he said i can have it as he now has a centre stand so it only cost me £6 for the kit to fit my cat.

Thanks all for your words of wisdom i have now invested in a HAYNES manual and will be pulling a few bits off the bike this weekend so i can get some bits anodised to make it look abit more tidyer wont cost me a penny as thats what i do in my job As for the shops in Pboro no i havent yet only went up for a ride out stopped for 30mins then headed back before it got dark as both me and mate had dark visors.But will be going up again when the suns out if anyone is in the area and fancies a burger,pint.

Emotional party A fancy dress party leads to a rude punchline A guy decides to have a party where his guests are asked to come as different emotions e.g. fear etc. On the night of the party, the first guest arrives and the host opens the door to see a guy covered in green paint with the letters N and V painted on his chest. He says to this guy, "Wow, great outfit, what emotion have you come as?" And the guy says," I'm green with NV". The host replies, "Brilliant, come on in and have a drink." A few minutes later the next guest arrives and the host opens the door to see a woman covered in a pink body stocking with a feather boa wrapped around her most intimate parts. He says to this woman "Wow, great outfit,what emotion have you come as?" She replies, "I'm tickled pink." The host says, "I love it, come on in and join the party." A couple of minutes later the doorbell goes for the third time, the host opens the door to see two Irish blokes, Paddy and Murphy, standing stark naked one with his knob in a bowl of custard, and the other with his knob stuck in a pear. The host is really shocked and says, "Well, what the heck are you doing? You could get arrested standing out there in the street like that. Anyhow what emotion is this supposed to be?!?!" Paddy replies, "Well, Oim fokn discustard, and Murphy here has just come in dispair."

Last week a mate came round and helped me to put in new brakes in my thundercat and also showed me how to adjust my chain (no im not a lady only wear the skirt in the house ) only bit new to the motorbike thingy.Anyway we went off for a short ride from Lowestoft to Peterboro sat just gone and i was paranoid as the bike was not as smooth or handling as it used to even thought did i tighten up that rear axle nut you know like when you go off on holiday and think did i turn the cooker off etc.This was doing me all day even stopped on the way as i thought i could smell burning.Mate convinced me that it was all in my head anyway we got to TAZ motorcycles and spent £5 on a neck warmer and then headed home.Next morning i thought bugger this im gonna check it out and the chain had got that tight it only had 7mm play hence the poor handling etc so i redone this and took her out for a blast and she better than ever.The moral of the story check it and then check it again for piece of mind or pick your friends better Come on sunshine we are waiting

The above are all ok but come on have you seen KIRSTY GALLAGHER yum yum you have to admit she tops the list.
