Coming back from an mot on the zx9r on reserve and it starts to choke... still manages 5 more miles to get home in 2nd at 3000rpm to save me a walk in the heat.

Great bike.

Hadn't used the CBR 900 for a few weeks and turned the tap off whilst we were away - It started coughing and ...

The gear change lever is also the kick starter lever.

Bloody hell you still sleeping, the man has probably retired by now to wrong island !!!

We have gone back to the mid 1980s with a naked bike being given a half fairing like the Katana, RG250, Honda CX Turbo, FZ750 and we were all wishing to have a fully faired bike for that total racer look, how long before a fully faired XSR??

The word "Condone" sounds the opposite of what it means.

Being able to read through your parents (possibly grandparents as well) medical records would be a good way to see if there is a chance of something heredity being passed on and you would be in a position, with more modern techniques, to possibly put it right.

Do they still sell alcohol in there??

Last 2 watched were:-
Abba "The Movie" in 1977
Austin Powers "International man of mystery" in 1997
so fair to say I don't I'll be keeping them open.

I think the Gremlinette has been kidnapped by aliens and a doppelganger put in her place. This doppelganger hasn't realised that the real Gremlinette wouldn't rub down woodwork, paint it nor would she clean off crap from the summerhouse roof... :think:

Apparently your user name is very apt lol

Borrow it for a day then decide.

Buy the item Dern linked and just get a stainless barrier welded in halfway, or have it so that the barrier is removable thus making it versatile, buy some extras and cut them up to use as the barrier all that's needed is a welder.

Oooh, forgot to mention the mighty Duster.
Had it just over 7 years from new and still runs like new. Never had any problems.
It's amazing off road and runs on dirt roads as happy as tarmac. Great 4WD system with diff locks and proper suspension. And super low first gear for tricky steep stuff ...
