Wouldn't fancy being the minder who has to grab this GasGas------------Beastie go to 1min 20secs.

Just a daft thing (which I seem to have a lot of experience of),have his bar grips worn smooth? It made a difference to me when I changed mine,I didn't have to grip the bars so tightly. Hope it's that simple.

Rolls Royce ,naah,I think they're BMWs or VWs now ?

And the most shocking part of your statement if I understood the feeling behind it is that you expect the UK to buy only British cars ?...then the UK is really f****d.

Went to a seminar once and met a Korean politician (or MP or governor??) called Him Bum Suk...well it made me laugh. When I worked in an engineering factory the newest receptionist was always asked to put a tanoy out for the usual suspects: Mike Hunt or Warwick Hunt or Hugh Janus or Juan Kerr....etc..I'm sure you've heard them all before.

Ahh well, s'pose we'll never know

Ok Mr. Picky..howabout.... ''Yuletide''.

Just a bit of fun at Christmas (I have no connections to this seller) especially as I am so out of touch with the price of these things.

Tight wad reply: Supermarket own brand neutral shoe polish !

Yup,well done that man..totally acceptable to me ! Lang may his lume reek.

When I was very young we had a black and white cat which we named.......Shep?!.......the sheep-cat??!..Obviously.

Yeah,keep 'em coming..I'm bound to remember 1 of them???Maybe?

A man walks into a bar,the barman asks: ''What would you like Sir?'' The man replies ''a pint of lager..any lager ..but NOT Stella !'' The barman asks: ''Why..NOT Stella?'' The man retorts :''I had 12 pints of that last night and woke up this morning f**king skint ''. The defensive barman quips: ''But Sir, all our lagers are the same price anyway ''. The confused man states; ''You don't understand,skint is my cat's name!!''

Jings, he mings.

I think you're looking at a gen' part wherever you go ,so you're stuck with whatever Shirty (uk importer)has. Could the cold weather of late have anything to do with the early demise of your replacement? Just a thought,I've seeen it happen on 99 txt , the rider dismounted 'Frankie Dettori' style,clipped his boot on the mudguard and it shattered....twas bloody cold that day.

Top notch ''The Addict'',the first one especially ,I'm trying to memorise it 'cos I'm going out tonight,I bet I make an a*** of it once I've had a drink.

Uh- oh! Looks painfull ouch

I'll be chuffed if it's: Rebecca Adlington ... I'll be narked if it's: Lewis Hamilton..he is sooooo full of 5h1t!

I had a few 'crossers and trail (not trials) bikes when I was in my early teens but that soon died out. About 20 years later I went on holiday to Cyprus with some mates and we hired some enduro bikes (suzuki DR?) and that re-kindled the off-road urges . When I got home I hassled a few of my contacts into letting me try out a Honda CR crosser . As you can imagine that 20 years of progress on the MX scene caught me by surprise and I thought; ''If I buy one of these I'll be dead by the end of the week''. Out of the blue, one of my mates came good and delivered a box to my door with a dis-mantled Montesa 242 in it. He said ''If you can put it together it's yours''. I did,and it was sh**e,but there was no shortage of twin-shock loonies to buy it from me. At the same time on't telly Steve Berry on Top Gear was highlighting indoor trials and I'm sure? it was Dougie doing a 15 ft standing leap from cable reels..I thought that looks easy!! I'll get a modern trials bike ('93 gasser) and I'll be doing that in no time Several years ,and bikes, later and I'm still trying ..6ft is my personal best. After starting off on 'crossers the strange thing is I now detest the high speed aspect of trials (getting between the sections) and love the slow/technical parts. P.S. ''love'' does not infer any level of competence.
