I'm sorry, but did you actually COUNT the words.....?

Listen, I've been in the position where I needed help, it's no biggie. Maybe it's time for you too?

Hiya Mike
we've a few knocking about that we could alter if anyone wanted, I had a bit of a break for a while but recently I've been getting back to my normal dysfunctional ways
Bill is completely unchanged
maybe see you soon - I'll be at Bill's this weekend doing bike stuff...
all the best

If you look at how the front suspension is laid out, any alteration to the length of the suspension unit (including altering the wishbone to lower the bottom mounting, which effectively shortens the suspension unt) is mulitplied by about one and a half times at the steering axis, which is where the ...

FAO Boxermed If your altered front wishbone is one that we altered (I don't know of any others), it will have been shortened by either 10 or 12 mm. This is to compensate for the way in which the telelever geometry increases trail as the suspension unit compresses. If you fit it and install all the s...

Lowering the back 'big fat bird' style can make the steering terribly hard work. Not that I've got anything against big fat birds though. Big fat birds tend to know how to laugh, and we all know that once you've got them laughing, well, Anyway, back on topic.. Lowering the front just a little seems ...

As a very young lad many years ago I was taken to Finningley air show. When it was the Vulcan's turn, it bimbled along slowly, then the pilot did that famous thing where he nails the throttles and hauls it up rod-straight. It might have been my first orgasm. Probably explains why I've spent my life ...

Are you aware that the standard clip-on bars can be simply put above the top yoke? It involves drawing the fork tubes up through the top yoke a llittle that's all. For me (I compare my normal bike with my pal's altered bike) it makes the riding position almost exactly 'Honda'. Feels completely diffe...

'pologies pal - I've just been restructured, and seen my colleagues' pensions 'restructured' by a set of junior suits, who think of us a plebs. In the aftermath of twenty years of financial sector trickery, we're seeing the growth of a commercial culture which believes that the way to make money fro...

Talk to a management consultant: they'll convince you that it's in your interest to restructure your body/lose a leg: You don't use it for anything that can't be done with a prosthetic. Cost savings on shoes, socks etc. The awkwardness of the prosthetic will cut down on unnecessary walking trips e.g...

"More museum piece than usable....."


You talkin about me....?

£1200
we're all thinking he got a bargain, lots of spares, MOTs, something daft like 10k miles in last twenty years
when I grow up, that bike is top of my list
(I'm only fifty)

A mate has just picked up a 1976 R100 56K miles & we're off to Scotland on friday. Envious, cos' that'll be just about the best bike in the rain. Easy, forgiving bike, brilliant sound, fix 'em and run 'em forever.
Like the look of those in the video...

Dai old son, that is FOR REAL. Can't remember the date, but it was in a cramped hired room in Orgreave in Sheffield, about thirty of us in there. She was almost worth the seventy quid it cost me. Actually, as cynical as I am, it wasn't a bad course. Just read that thread about Tim, god bless. It's b...

Idiots 1 On my last speed awareness course (48 mph in a 40 limit, rural straight road with unobscured junctions, only other road user was a plain white van parked up, obstructing the pavement actually, but I'm not bitter), one of my fellow reprogrammees was asked to identify the speed limit on a sli...

This is new territory. It seems the Police went to impressive lengths to gather evidence (shop CCTV, timings, delving into internet/forum activity etc.) to support a novel charge that the group's activity caused death. Yet, after the original prosecution was binned (as soon as a Judge clapped eyes o...
