Open mouthed Astonishment Thanks for posting

What a fabulous place to live, spent a few days exploring the northern area on a hired DT125, just loved it. Good on you

Just scrubbing in a set of Roadsmarts - should be able to give a decent report in 2014 on my current mileage

Clean your monitor You know that you have to clean the inside of your aquarium occasionally. This is usually done with a magnetic brush attached to the inside of the aquarium and it's controlled with a magnetic wand from the outside. Well, now there's a similar tool for the inside of your monitor which is controlled by moving your mouse. You may have seen it or used it before, but it's time to clean it again.

How the hell did it stay on the sidestand? 1 degree more and ************* She really shouldn't get off with the bike still in gear the motor running but I suppose with assets like that she has some luck too

President Barack Obama is visiting a Glasgow hospital. He enters a ward full of patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness, He greets one. The patient replies: Fair fa your honest sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin race, Aboon them a ye take yer place, Painch, tripe or thairm, As langs my airm. Obama is confused, so he just grins and moves on to the next patient. The next patient responds: Some hae meat an canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat an we can eat, So let the Lord be thankit. Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the President moves onto the next patient, who immediately begins to chant: Wee sleekit, cowerin, timorous beasty, O the panic in thy breasty, Thou needna start awa sae hastie, Wi bickering brattle Now seriously troubled, Obama turns to the accompanying doctor and asks, 'Is this a psychiatric ward?' 'No,' replies the doctor, 'this is the serious Burns unit.'

Haaaaaa, :grin: :grin: You off the leash again Guy?

Subject: At the restaurant A father walks into a restaurant with his young son. He gives the young boy 3 pennies to play with to keep him occupied. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the pennies and starts slapping him on the back... The boy coughs up 2 of the pennies, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help. A well dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman, in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper, places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant. Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly........ After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last penny, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the penny to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word. As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her, saying he has never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. "Are you a doctor? "No," the woman replied. "I'm with the Inland Revenue."

Just Superb!

Since it started snowing my missus has just been looking through the window. If it gets any worse I'll just have to let her in

Very clever I must remember that one

Found these: The Real Thing: Contemporary footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l34sdWu0rFI&p=A388C7A4E4F0091C&index=60&feature=BF The Real Thing: 59 Club: And for Luhbo...another take on it...."you got the leather trousers have you got a bike...well no..." KB Could never afford leather, jacket or trousers, had to make do with PVC and an AJS sticker. Seemed to do the job at the speeds I fell of . At 16 that 650 AJ transformed my life it was a total 'fanny magnet' .... (translation for the afflicted across the pond 'it pulled the girls')

Delicious!

Just looking at those pictures Guy I know you really screwed up However knowing you I'm sure you'll get an adventure or two out of the cafe

Interesting, can't leave the Rosso festering in the garage. Was it the Triumph that pushed her out?

Just the job Tom, I do vaguely remember this from some time ago. Thanks for the reminder, makes me more confident of doing a decent job

Thanks Phil and Skeeve for the ideas. I'll look out some large pipe to use as an anvil and tidy up some of the damage (the pic only showed the damage in low res) as I think I will be very difficult to swage out the pitting. I'll post a couple of pictures as I progress

A couple of weeks ago my 'mate' parked his bike next to mine neglecting to ensure the side stand was on hard ground. The sad though obvious result was that his bike went over onto mine and in turn the Rosso Corsa went too. Damage to indicator, clutch lever, top fairing steady and the left hand ti can. The bright side is it could have been worse if it had not fallen on my helmet Today I removed the rivets in preparation to replace the sleave with another from Zorstec in Shipley. A couple of observations (experts here may correct me ) but the only titanium part appears to be the sleeve, making me wonder where the high purchase price comes from Also the wadding is really dense and stitched tightly together, could be this that gives such a beautiful mellow tone to these exhausts. I'll let the inmates know what the bottom line is to be cost wise later

I wondered why it always felt so good

Don't know why but that gave a lot of pleasure You deserve the cigar

Hi Andy, you might notice that the 'Viking' is in fact a Spondon from Derby The most amazing thing about the 950 Desert X is the weight - some 280lbs dry

Don't know if this is the right part of the forum to post but I think this is important to US members particularly. Since 2007 I've had a Highland 950 Outback in the garage. Originally designed and built in Sweden they have now set up a facility in Tulsa OK to produce a range of what looks like astonishing motorcycles. They are having an open day on the 30th of May at the factory with the opportunity to try what I promise you are the most powerful bikes of their type currently in existence. Whether this venture will run or not only time will tell but if you want the free experience of a lifetime take a look if you can. The US Highland site Dirtbike magazine More Dirtbike stuff

Brilliant, Quite Brilliant!

I love the arse on fire shot - no wonder they go so quick

Hells teeth! Where can you get a $10 prostitute these days? Enquiring minds and all that..........
