I had a kawasaki kr1s 250. Went on a trackday and the only bike to pass me was a very good rider on a 900 fireblade. Was horrible bike on the road though. You dont need a big bike to go fast 0r crash I did 3 times so i sold it and never rode a motorbike again as i thought my son would like his dad around a bit longer.
This was around 20 years ago.

what northwind said

Is it cranking over at normal speed or slower

Its a light garden shed. level the ground and put a slab in each corner.

The way i see it is you have 3 choices, walk away and see your kids as much as she allows and living as close to them as possible, move further away and risk losing contact or seing them infrequently, or go to court for shared custody or full custody. If it goes to court you will probably need to stoop lower than a snakes belly with any ammunition you have to get any kind of result,which i would’nt have a problem with if it was best for the kids.
I have no idea what the longterm outcome of any of these choices would be though.

while the foodbanks are open to misuse by some people they are a lifeline to most people who use them.
Weeksy i dont know who you are but you really are a ****

It all just makes my head hurt so i will be keeping my unfashionable 2012 vitus escarpe 26″ for a few more years despite wanting something new and shiney. may treat it to some new pikes though 27.5 ones obviously.

make your own with a strip of metal

I would think on average it is around mid thirty’s when you are past reaching maximum performance that a you are capable of reaching during a lifetime.

very much ^^^^^this^^^^^

I get the feeling the persons complaining about dogs as unexpected hazards are the sort who try to sue if they have a tumble if trail maintenance is not up to scratch. I get the concern with dogs at trail centres but the bloody dogs were running around woodlands way before all the city dwellers and golfers decided they want to ride their bikes in the woods. Cannocks follow the dog would not even exist if it wasnt for a dog

On a car i had you turned the key the opposite way to opening the door first for a few seconds which disabled the alarm before opening the door

Imo there is so much money involved that cruelty and unfairplay is inevitable, At one time breeders bred dogs for the love of the breed and to improve their working characteristics, now its how much will they earn me if they win

Apparently you will be a lot slower as well.scientifically proven.

Hard to believe maxxis and schwalbe 2.4 are bigger than the conti rubber queen. conti’s looked so big they looked comical a couple of years ago

hi hora, i would be looking at other breeds than terriers with a youngster in the house. They can be real nasty little buggers when the mood takes them and very protective of what they presume to be theirs.

The security guard asked you to take the child out of the trolley and you ignored him totally. he was doing what that really nice store manager tells him to do.

them chips look lovely

Fiat panda for a girl fine but for an 18 year old lad. he wont be happy.

I used to be able to produce a good fireball effect when putting a match to bottom burps. Still do it now and again to give myself a chuckle

Am i the only person who never uses a torque wrench.must have done up thousands of nuts and bolts and only remember stripping 2 small nuts on a bike when i was about 12years old. Now i have said this i have to go a buy a torque wrench as i have inevitably jinxed myself. 🙂

Haze i would love to but had knee replacement 6 months ago and waiting for the other knee to be replaced. might see how the knees are in a year or 2 and then have another bash.
OP if i was able to still ride then i defo would not stop just because i turned 50. I am only 47 though. still got my ALVA with lime green kryptonics under the bed. 😳

Any one on here used to ride arrow indoor skate park in wolverhampton, or skateopea just down the road. brilliant place to ride back in the day

If you went to work with flue, you didnt have flue

Its all the germ infested kids at school you need to be carefull of

Too complicated then. 🙂

why is it sold in litres but fuel economy is in gallons.

junkyard if the comment a few posts above was aimed at me. worked for years and cant claim jsa . At no point did i say that, all i was trying to point out was that is the only housing benefit i am entitled too.if i was renting would be entitled to more. the jsa is another story and really cant be arsed with going into all the ins and outs of that.
if the comment wasnt aimed at me i apologise and ignore.

Get ready for the day when you tell him off and he tries to stare you down whilst standing toe to toe with you.It will happen 😀

I had knee a tkr in sept and waiting for other knee to be done,was made redundant on 18 dec.have not claimed benefits in 30 years. All i can say if you dont know how the system works you get screwed every way you turn. my mortgage is only £177 a month so applied for help to pay interest only and was awarded £7 pound a week. I dont want someone else to buy a house for me just some help for a few more months until i can get back to work. I honestly am not winging or crying about it but dont understand how they work out calculations

Had the snip 9 years ago and still occasionally have a dull ache in the left testical which can last on and off for a few days,and very rarely have a very very painfull ache that can last a couple of minutes. only ever in the left testicle. actually got a mild ache at the moment. Any one else get this ore should i panick

Ok lets pretend pharma’s have a magic bullit and the 50% of us who gets cancer gets one dose of the magic bullit. cured.
And lets pretend pharma’s have a remedy that keeps symtoms at bay and the 50% need to take the remedy for the rest of their life.
the extra money would be mind boggling.
Not saying this happens just what could happen when the suits get involved 😈

hmmm Yes your probably right its just a thought i had years ago.
but cant help thinking how much money is involved

Do you lot reckon the pharmaceutical companies really want to find a cure or find a remedy that keeps cancer symptoms at bay so they can keep selling the remedy. loads of money in that. actually for all illnesses

i use the same as olderigetfasteriwas. changed mine from presta valves because they are nasty unnecessarily fiddly little pieces of crap.
used presta for years without problem then on a fatefull day at cannock them pesky presta’s screwed me and ended up pushing back. will never fit em again 😀

ust tyre with leaky sidewalls. send em back

used to like watching murray when he first came on the scene and enjoyed cheering him on. Think it was at wimbledon and henman lost. and one of the pundits said all the english are cheering for you.His reply was along the lines of make no mistake i am scottish not english. Havent watched him since.

Nearly pissed myself at yunkis first 2 posts

At that age i would say any bike the right size and everything works. oh and it must have colourfull tassles and a big horn, also a bell

why would a dog basket not have the same result
