    Site Update!

    In my experience this is a VERY bad idea. Bringing in someone who doesnt know the forum or the regular members who post here can have catastrophic consequences. This happened on another forum i moderate on last year and it caused no end of problems - granted it is much larger than this one but my god what a headache it caused. The mods were banning folk and moderating folk because they had no idea of what they were really like, and in actual fact, they meant absolutely nothing bad by the posts they had made. Bringing someone with no experience of this site is not going to work - they would need to be online a lot and can you imagine moderating a site you know jack shit about? I wouldnt want to be a mod on a site i hadnt been on before. I think it would be better to firstly PM the folk who admin think might be suitable, then put up a poll so the members of the forum can decide who they want as moderators. These would have to be people who know the site well, and know many of the members posting styles, and ho are online a lot. They would also need a bit of common sense so they dont start hitting the "delete" button every time someone reports something, and preferably someone with a lot of experience of forums. Give them a couple of months trial and if its not working then think again. I know i wouldn't want someone who didnt know us and who we didnt know comie in and start moderating us.
  2. I invented vulgar.............

    my baby

    Thats a lovely example you got there G-Man. I see you also got overrun by fookin leaves in your garden too - mine is full of them and they are now blocking my drains - I HATE THE FOOKIN WINTER!
  5. Well you see, being vertically challenged its actually easier for me to ride - not only that but i dont fancy ending up with foot problems that can be associated with the riding position of pegs only - the greater surface area for the foot the better it is for your feet, and the less likely you are to have problems
  6. Ive stuck some more piccies of Elviras paint job on me profile for those of you that PM'd me and asked me to email you some - was less hassle stickin 'em in there rather than sending individual emails. And thankya for the kind comments (and the saucy ones ) Oh and the El Bandito has now been sold. *kiss kiss*

    Sercurity

    Get yourself a fuckin big dog.
  8. Yes they should - but i didnt say choppers looked like CG's - i said the XVS650 Custom did..........
  9. Hey - go for it! Its no more stupid than me riding 1500 miles round India next year on an Enfield Bullet that i cant even touch the ground on, and where the controls are all on the opposite side - but its all for charidee so......... I reckon you should do it honey - itll be a laugh (and an experience!) if nothing else

    XXXXXXL Helmet

    IThe Caberg V2 is indeed a great helmet, but i found it a bit too noisy - however for the price i cant knock it. I now have a Limited Edition Shoei VRX1000 - its the dogs bollox and cost me a fuckin fortune, but its comfy, very light and proper quiet. You have to remember though that just cos it was extortionately expensive doesnt mean its one of the best on the market (and yeeeaaaas i have done a research study on this so i do know what im on about), BUT, its comfortable, light and i fookin love it! Go with whatever feels right for YOU - you dont have to spend a fortune. You could always check out the SHARP results too - see what each lid has scored in testing HERE
  11. yes, yes you are...... BUT - you're OUR pretentious cock and i like you anyways
  12. Well lets be honest - who wants a cruiser that looks just like a CG125 at the front? Cos thats just what the Custom looks like I use bin liners - they keep everything dry.....does that make me doirty too? *snigger* You should ride with me sometime - you'll be lost for words once you been round a few twisties with me in the driving seat - ill show you how its REALLY done
  13. lol, i thought there was some obscue restriction law i hadnt heard of when i saw you posted that The 650 only just touches 40bhp so i cant see the 125 being above restriction. I think its probably only about 13?
  14. Goff

    Horns.

    I have the horn every time i ride mine.......... *ahem*.........
  15. What restriction requirement is that then?
  16. Realisticness? lol If you can be arsed, why not, but me - i prefer the easy life and have just one set.
  17. You can get a tyre place to fit them for you. I would call a couple of places though and ask them for a price for the tyres plus fitting, and a price just for the fitting - might be roughly the same or even cheaper, so you could save yourself the hassle of an ebay sale.
  18. Get them fitted by someone who knows what they are doing. I never mess with me tyres, i let someone else do it properly for me.
  19. Welcome to the site but i honestly cant think why you might be worried about a hiding from me.....im dead soft me you knows....honest
  20. Front is 130/90-16 Rear is170/80-15 nahhhh - thats not it - its prolly cos no one else who has one has been online yet.
  21. Avon do white walled tyres. I think they start at about £160. Im not 100% sure on that price though. Im sure there will be something about them on their site. And thanks for the comments about my Elvira - she's a babe lol

    which best????

    The most expensive is not necessarily the best. Understanding bike oils is essential for getting the best oil for your bike. The thickness of the fluid is measure in SAE rating. The lower the number the lighter it is (the easier it flows). When oil gets hot it also flows easier so to compensate for a too light hot oil viscosity mix are available called 20W-50. Which means a cold oil flows like a 20 grade but at high temperature it flows like a thicker 50 grade. I would suggest a synthetic oil for your bike cos synthetic holds its properties much better than a natural oil Valvoline, Castrol and Silkolene are probably the bestones to look at. Ive always used Silkolene, but its whatever you prefer.
  23. Awww bless ya - lets see what i can come up with - i know there be a lot more and other folk will add their bit too, but heres my input Depends what kind of look you're going for. There are a couple of good custom seats out there - me, i prefer the look of the Granucci seats - those babies rock! If the pipes dont have "not for road use" on them - then you'll be fine. I have uber-loud ones on my bike and have never had a tug yet. I wouldnt be without mine. I find the bike more comfy to ride when i can just ride "lazy" and rest me feet lol Sounds very nice indeedy that does They arent cheap - but it depends if you wanna spend hours with the Jif cream scubbing the buggers. They look nice - but can you be arsed with cleaning them? Never had a problem with mine. But remember - if you go for a solid wheel - if you prang it even slightly - you will have to replace the whole wheel. With the spokes you can just replace those one at a time. I do howver beleive you can buy covers for spoked wheels which you put over them and they make the spoked wheel look like a solid one - i have yet to find out where you get them from though cos this is summat i wanted for mine. I have throw overs for mine. I cannot stand tassles and would never have anything leather hanging off my bike. I know, i know, some folk love it, but its just nor for me. If i go away on the bike i take my textile throw overs and thats enough for me. Spend the extra on a Classic - but then i am biased. To me the Classic looks more "cruiserish" lol, the custom has the smaller front wheel and to me it looks pants. Many parts for the Classic will not fit the Custom and vice versa - so if you want the classic look (and who wouldnt!) then get yourself a classic. You mean all those i have had to remove from quoting you in order to post my response lol
  24. When i was at school our headmaster had a fookin big slipper and we used to get that right across our arses if we misbehaved. Then i'd get it all over again when i got home from my folks because i got in bother at school! My dad was in the army for 40 years (incidentally he was the longest serving member of the British Army EVER, up until this year), and we were brought up in a very disciplined environment - did we toe the line? You bet we fuckin did. We were scared shitless of getting in bother at school, and if we got in trouble with the police - we were dead meat. Thats whats lacking - kids aint scared of nowt today. Mine get a good hiding if they misbehave - i dont mean i knock 10 bags of shit out of them every time they do soemthing wrong, but they know right from wrong, and they too toe the line. A good hiding never did me any harm and it wont do my kids any harm either. These do-gooders with thei anti-smacking campaigns can fuck right off - its because of fuckwits like this that the country is in such a sorry state. If mine misbehave at school i expect them to be punished properly. Same with the little shits (and im talkin PRIMARY school kids here) who disrupt classes - they should be punished properly. I was waiting at the breakfast club today to drop my 2 youngest off before i went to uni - there was a mum there with a kid no older than 6 - she was yakking to her mate and the kid was continuously kicking the metal shutter - most annoying at 7.30am. All she said was "Kieron stop iiiiiit" - several times, and he took no notice whatsoever. If he was mine i would have pasted his arse till it was raw after telling him the second time.
  25. What a load of shite. A spokeswoman for Lambeth Council said: "It's incredibly important that we address young people's behavioural problems and we make no apologies for using different and innovative methods, but this obviously won't replace more traditional ways of dealing with anti-social behaviour. I say - Its incredibly important that you address young peoples behavioural problems by punishing the little fuckers properly NOT GIVING THEM FUCKIN FOOT MASSAGES and coming down hard on the parents who dont give a flying fuck where their 10 year old is at 1am. "We have just pumped an extra £2 million into youth services overall and we provide a whole raft of both traditional and innovative measures to tackle anti-social behaviour across the borough." Which really means "we are a bunch of tree-hugging soft arses who think being "nice" to the little bastards will stop them from commiting crimes and wreaking havoc - get fuckin real. She added: "We need to deal with the root causes of young people's behavioural problems and nip them in the bud - prevention is better than cure. You need to get hold of the fuckin parents and deal with them too. If any of my kids set foot out of line they know for a fact they are in big trouble. I would be the first to march mine to the cop shop if they committed a crime. Give them a fuckin good hiding and dole out punishemtns that will serve as a deterrent. "In fact there has been a 50 per cent increase in attendance and 60 per cent decrease in exclusions among young people involved in the programme." No fuckin wonder!! I think even I would commit a crime for free massage therapy! It costs a fuckin fortune for reflexology round here! Please do excuse my little rant, but I live across the road from a scumbag mother and her equally scummy kids who get away with murder so it makes my blood boil when i read shite like this. If i thought i could get away with takeing her fuckin teeth out then i would
