Don't get me wrong Duke I'm really chuffed for him and hate to be negative, but these "loans" 10 years from now will be just like the 40% tax. Envisaged for the rich and then brought to the masses

... in the field he wanted which helped so much and now pulls in a obscene amount of money a year. Paid off a mortage inside a matter of a few years starting with only 5K deposit! The pluses can outweigh the minuses if you pick the right course, have a can do attitude and don't stop even for ...

... Same one, Softail Breakout. In fact, the one I test rode looked very much like that. I've had my eye on a cruiser for a couple of years, since I took a mate's Victory Hammer on a 200 mile round trip and loved it. This fits the bill very nicely and gets rid of the poor decision, ...

Memories,,,,: I did exactly that in a mate's Triumph 1300 when I was 17. Thanks for binging that back to me for a moment Monty.

Nice wheels dude, just be careful on roundabouts. I've exited quite a few in reverse over the years driving BMs.

My ER6 did 16k before I changed them. The R1 was done at 9,500 (but it was 5.5 years old at the time). I think the VFR800 was at about 13.5 when it was done. And the Varadero had one last year at 17.5. I wasn't aware that there was any hard and fast rules, tbh. ...

Si I can do skinheads and have 25 years experience at them.............well at doing my own

I replaced the chain on the 748 two years ago. In all my years of riding bikes that's the first bike i ever had to replace the chain on.

... wife's BMW so decided a cabriolet would be a great family sunny day car for days out and holidays. Went for a 330d M sport Cabriolet. It's just 3 years old and with 30k on the clock so although not quite new it feels and looks like it me. She's got all the options I wanted and in the right colour ...

... eg a handful of mates still running away from the old bill, or getting into fights etc. I was growing up getting settled with my partner (now 8 years) and they were acting like 16 year olds couldn't believe it. They had to go haha!! Now I feel a lot happier with the people I've got on my Facebook

Hi folks, Just signed up for the new site. I was on the old site as Hoodlum but haven't been active for a number of years after falling out with bikes for a bit. Think I was last on here about 2008/9 maybe a bit later. Back on now though after getting myself a nice Sprint ST at tail ...

So I can get a voucher from work. Free eye test and a contribution towards glasses as I work with VDU's. Had an eye test. First one for about 8 years. optician said I should be more regular but my eyes haven't deteriorated too bad considering. However she did recommend I now wear my glasses for ...

I hate thieves with a passion. I hope a drunk, drugged, uninsured wreckless driver pulls out on him later in life and smashes every bone in his body and he spends years and years and years recovering

Used to really rate the lad and loved watching him in his early years. But over the last few years Im just as much of a fan of his racing. Was not impressed he got the ride over Johnson on triumph. I find him entertaining on the tv.

MCN of the last 10 years or so.

... as nice scenery down there. I'm looking forward to a Welsh shakedown run of the bike! Yeah, honestly I haven't been on the Tintern road in about 2 years, because last time it was just covered in slow moving squids in branded gear and big "fast" bikes. Sigh. I prefer the Monmouth > Forest ...

Similar chance of him winning to the last few years, then.

Thy don't support that anymore :(. As that would be perfect. You'll need the Vita to play on your PS4 once the sprog ...

Oh, the number of girls I've met in the last ten years who, since "pole dancing lessons" became popular, referred to themselves as "a bit of a pole dancer". Yeah, two lessons falling off a pole doesn't make you a pole dancer, ...
