Always remember seeing my mate on his Cagiva 125 thinking he was jack the lad do that and slam into the car behind him And before that he used to have a RD which i had seen it happen on a few times too!

I can remember doing my CBT on a Cg125 i felt like i was inn walace and grommit!

Yeah i know, i was thinking that i hope he didnt think that i whispered something to my brother and he said it

I always have wanted a KTM just never got round to seeing one i want, and having the money at the same time

I saw some prat doing that outside a club in Brighton, but the funny thing was he still managed to come off, must have gone up to quickly

Well the museum got back to me, after Alan and filled me in, but heres what they said. The Neracar was created by Carl A Neracher, built by the Ner-A-Car Corporation in Syracuse, New York in 1921 and also in Sheffield, England later that year. Carl Neracher acquired a patent for the Neracar in the USA in 1919 and with financing help from razor maker King C. Gillette began production two years later. The Neracar was aimed at people who wanted a comfortable vehicle but couldn't afford a car. And was advertised as "300 miles for a dollar" and 85-100 miles to a gallon and a speed of 35mph. It featured a single cylinder 13.5 (221cc) cubic inch engine and used friction drive by means of a fabric coated wheel rubbing a flywheel which causes friction and in turn creates motion and a lever to slide the wheel to different positions for changing ratios and acting as different gears (three speed). Also unique to the Neracar was the center hub steering system. The British Neracar also known as the Sheffield Simplex version, as it was made under license by the Simplex Luxury Carmaker in Sheffield, England. It featured a larger engine 285cc two-stroke, and in 1925 was upgraded to a 350cc engine, known as the Blackburne and Model C. While the American version engine size was increased to 15.5 cubic inch in 1924 and was known as the Model B. The Ner-A-Car corporation stopped making Neracar's in the USA, after the 1924 production model, due to lack of popularity. Production also ceased in England in 1926 after a new luxurious and expensive hybrid model failed, the company closed it's motorcycle division .

Well mine was when i used to race motorcross. I had stripped and rebuilt the engine on my CR250 and just could get it started. By now it was late in the evening and couldnt wait any longer for my Dad. So i decided to tow it, unfortunatly for me i was too impatient. So asked my Grandad to tow me down our lane. However... The bike started up no problem after about 20 metres, but my Grandad forgot he was towing me and just kept going! By this time im shouting and swearing at him to stop, but he still hasnt realised and is still listening to talk fecking radio, about women with period pain. I can see some of my girl friends walking down the road, and luckily in a way my grandad realised who they were and stopped to say hello. Now at last my grandad realised what he had done, waved out the window to me and decided to do a U turn. Dragging the bike on its side and pulling me down the road for about 5m before i fell off, and he just kept going for about 100m completely fecking up all the plastics and frame on my poor bike! In front of my dream girl and her mates... I wanted to kill him!!!!

Hey welcome back, wondered where you had been?

Fock riding that jet bike, without a helmet and leathers

Well i will never know now. I had all the work completed and have now sold the car. The car was booked in for monday but the new owner is going to take it down. Which is good as it meant that i could leave australia earlier, so im now off to singapore tomorrow. Trying to stuff my face today and at the airport as ive know idea what sort of food i will be eating. Fingers crossed that the food is nice and the plane doesnt crash! Had a really good flight in china!

My bike is a YZF-750R the thundercat is a YZF-600R the thunderace is a YZF-1000R But none of these are a YZF-R1, YZF-R6 or a YZF-R7 All different bikes. Presume YZF jsut means its part of the sports family rather than motorcross, cruisers, etc

PMSL

I think you should just delete your post! The r1 is a YZF-R1 (1000cc) the r6 is a YZF-R6 (600cc) But both are differnt bikes, but so to speak the R6 is a baby version of the R1

Doesnt work mate, unless you give us your password

Yeah i dont think it has the same brakes as the R6 anymore either?

Yeah for some reason they still keep sending me 3 catalogues through, and of course the special offer ones They do do some cheap stuff, i got my micron paddock stand from them, with the erm my brain has gone, the bits you screw onto the swing arm? Cant think of what they are called, and anyway was cheaper than M&P just for the stand

I can always remember holding my little brother outside a shop in brighton, he must have been about 3 and he pointed to the massive black security guard next to us and pointed saying monkey! I could have died, but luckily the bloke had a really good sense of humour and pissed himself! Thought i was gonna get a kicking!

Not bad

Well im off to do a bit of travelling in south east asia, starting in singapore tomorrow. So wonder what joys of food i will have to put up with again. Well at least i will be home next month to stuff myself with normal food again!

I cant remember how old it was when he had it, i was only little but must have been 5-6 years old so cant have been worth that much either! Lot of hard work to steal one of them bastards

Well done Alan! I remember now it was designed by Carl Neracher but im pretty sure it was older than 1921... will have to check with pete

Were definatly going to have to ban that word, or bring back the auto word replacement
