Just don't get it delivered to your home!

Is there any one really reputable supplier of new/used spares for Yamaha? I know there's Motorworks for BMW stuff or David Silver for Honda stuff, but I don't really know about the other brands

If a van says "FREE CANDY" on the side, don't get in it.

Someone should start an action group called "Fairweather bikers Against Fossil Fuels".

So it's privately funded, not government funded, and therefore has bugger all to do with DfID aid. Not that the sensationalist headline of the article conveys that message very well!

I'll be in Paris and my bike is buggered so I couldn't get there anyway, otherwise I'd say why not for £6...

God damn it man, since the rally I can't read one of your threads without getting "It Wasn't Me" stuck in my head

Hmm, not quite sure how I managed to skim read past that

Is the fan kicking in ok? Do you know what temperature it's meant to start at?

Bristol, tomorrow: http://www.oneinchpunch.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/crude-oil-spill-clear-up.jpg

Working late to get everything done in time for my holiday, blasting the soundtrack to Transformers the Movie through the office sound system because nobody else is here. f**k yeah.

I read something fairly recently that said that studies have shown that the people who post every aspect of the lives on Facebook the most are the ones who are the least satisfied with them! All down to how people share an idealised version of their life where everything is awesome and perfect and just sweep the bad bits under the carpet, creating a self-perpetuating cycle. People post their crap on Facebook, other emotionally vulnerable people see it and feel bad because their life isn't that rosy, they post some crap that makes their life seem awesome to get a few likes and some approval/acknowledgement from their friends, and then other people see that and the process repeats over and over. Worse yet, the people doing the posting are prone to look back on their own stuff and evaluate their life now against their idealised life two years ago, and feel even worse, and feel the need to jazz up their public image even more. Pretty depressing stuff! Makes me glad that I almost never post on there and when I do it's never about my day to day life

They can't show you 500 pictures of their f*cking baby over the phone! And there's the very real risk that they might have to engage in a two way conversation and listen to things you want to talk about, not just spout their own drivel about how little Tarquin is doing and how they thought he was about to say his first words but instead he vomited everywhere and it looked a bit like a Jackson Pollock and isn't Tarquin talented?

Yeah, I keep meaning to do a Facebook cull some time soon. There's this weirdo with a cartoon of a Llama or something as his profile picture that keeps sending me pictures, think he's got to go first.

Gotta say it, between this and the Cilla stuff, I like your style

Hahaha, had to Google that but made me chuckle once I had

Folks that can't deal with being called out on their bullshit and resort to sad little personal attacks. Nuff said?

Oh look the chinese bike apologist post straight in there Bored of typing the whole "why you shouldn't get a Chinese bike" thread. Tl;dr - Lexmoto are shite.

I imagine that'd be "full deposit up front" territory!

Alright for some! I had to chase mine for three ruddy months

Nice one, congrats

Good to hear you're on the mend, be back on top form soon enough by the sound of it

Trust me, if I can do it (on an excessively complicated BMW, at that) then a blind retarded monkey with parkinsons could do it But I get where you're coming from, there's something nice about being able to work on a bike at leisure. Having my old 125 to pootle around on while fixing up my big bike was always nice, there's a lot more pressure to fix things quickly when the BMW breaks down now that I don't have a second bike any more.

Dawn of War 1 and Company of Heroes were the absolute pinnacle of the RTS genre in my mind, they really had it down to a fine art. The upgrade system gave you an amazing range of tactical options, and the paper-scissors-stone system for armour was really good. Plus I liked how every single army worked on a completely different mechanic, not just minor twists on the same core formula like C&C games.
