    Brexit.

    Do vegetarian Haggis only eat foliage then, As appose to your regular carnivorous Haggis? Also it should be noted that as the Haggis ( or is it Haggi ? ) live on the slopes of Scottish mountains they have one leg shorter than the other to allow better balance. There are Haggis with the two right legs that are shorter that can only go around the mountain anti clockwise and ones with two left legs shorter that can only go clockwise, if a RH Haggis meets a LH Haggis on the same track there is an impasse that can lead to a fierce fight head butting each other- the victor can carry on their way. LH Haggis can only be hunted on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays. RH Haggis can only be hunted on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays Haggis Hunting in the Sabbath is illegal.
  2. I’ve got them on the mighty Speedtriple Only issue I’ve found is that they get a bit squishy when hot and right on the edge full power out of flat out off camber corners. Yeah ... like I could tell the difference??? They’re great in all conditions
  3. Full story here: https://www.motorcyclenews.com/sport/tt-road-races/2019/march/norton-tt-2019-superbike-lightweight-superlight/
  4. In the lightweight class - 650cc not the Superbike
  5. I’ve had ABS for nearly 4 years, I’ve only felt it activate 3X Once when I first got the bike when I stamped on the rear brake to see what happened. The other 2 times I reckon I’d have gone down without it. So it’s from me.

    Today's crash

    Don’t forget to claim for it’s detriment on you sex life. I mean you’re lucky it didn’t happen to your whole finger, just the one next to it
  7. Hello and welcome to TMBF. 2 stroke oil goes in the 2 stroke tank and is automatically mixed with petrol to lubricate and fuel the engine. 4 stroke oil goes into the engine cases to lubricate and cool the engine & gearbox. What type of 4 stroke oil you need will be recommended by the manufacturer of your bike - you should be able to find it on line. Probably 10W40 Motorcycle oil - don’t use car oil. But just watch some smarty pants come along and contradict me
  8. Good point, maybe it did have a LH thread after all, in which case it’s a rubbish idea.
  9. Oh yes , of course, I think most Yamahas have a left hand thread on the right mirror. Makes sense really . I had a Hinckley Bonneville as a courtesy bike - the right hand mirror acted as a kind of speed limiter, as soon as I reached 80mph ( on a closed road m’lord ) it started unwinding it’s self making it useless, could have done with a LH thread.
  10. As an apprentice one of the guys had a Vespa with a sidecar Taking a lift with him was both terrifying & exhilarating in equal measure. It made me laugh and scream ... but when it was snowing / icy it was loads better than a bike I can remember standing in the chair & leaning over the back wheel to get grip in the snow & pulling doughnuts until I got sick on the college drive. Would I do it now? .... would I fcuk !!
  11. Good grief I thought Itchy Bum Moto was shite, but that is a new level of shiteness ( is that a word? )
  12. Any way, her names not Chelsea-lee... it’s Frank !!
  13. That’s not creepy at all ... oh no, just what any normal person would do..
  14. Wasn’t it called Scrambling back then?
  15. Yep, it was called ...........(roll of drums).......... Kickstart
  16. My mistake, I thought that was a ‘T’
  17. Aye, but you did notice their user name.. right?
  18. How dare you call me fragile as if it’s something to be ashamed off - I have an inalienable right to be what I want and of you disagree I will tell all my friends on Twitter and cry into my blessed box of doughnuts.
  19. Maybe wind the spindle back in until the speedo drive locates in place, then ratchet strap the forks together and try winding the axle out again?
  20. Apparently the air biscuit I just delivered is rank ...even I think that
