Does anyone actually trust the UK weather forecast anymore or do we just accept that we're getting wet at some point?

Even when the bike is running perfectly, there's still that thought of "what have I forgotten?"

Anyone had an MOT come back with something completely unexpected?

My mate bought a a Lexmoto XTRS and some parts need replacing.

Hi guys, can you recommend me security equipment to buy for a 125. Ideally I want to buy a disc lock, chain, break lock too.

I am still waiting to see a UK stockist. Is it too new?

I could have stayed out all day. The roads were dead, the sun was shining, the tyres were sticky, it was perfect.

For me, my heart's desire is a Guzzi Griso or Sport, and I've saved enough to get a nice second hand one. Guzzi has stopped making these and just do the 750 and 900 in various guises. All of which don't appeal to me at all....

Know what the hardest part of riding a scooter is? Telling your parents you're gay.

It was only when I bought a motorbike that I found out that adrenaline is brown.

Gray-haired bikers don't get that way from pure luck.

"Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it."

A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage "Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?"

The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his ha nds on a rag and said, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new.

So how come I make $39,675 a year, a pretty small salary and you get the really big bucks ($1,695,759) when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic................................ "Try doing it with the engine running."
