had my 1st bike at seven , then had a kwack ar50 @16
and loads more at 21 i passed my test and had gsxr750 , fzr600 ,gsx600 .
not had one now for 15 years but thinking of getting a yammy 600 fazer just to get me back in to 2 wheels for work just to save fuel on troop .
ive seen a fazer £2000 v reg under 8000 on clock . 
trouble is the other half not keen on me getting one 
ive just done 8 days no ciggys its real hard but thats the spare cash & she still aint happy about it .
will have one soon  i like the honda vfr800 in red too . |
I found giving up ciggies (only about 4 months ago) easy. I know that I'm a stubborn git, so every time I wanted one, I just reminded myself that I'm more stubborn than the craving. I don't mean that it wasn't a pita, just me being a git to myself 
You'll be going through the shakes, sweats and creeping veins about now then another week or so and it'll be alreet - just keep it up, things smell again, and food tastes soooooooooo nice

I always thought that the big problem was going to be drinking and not smoking....
it's not a problem - it's really not. a pint without a fag is the same as a pint with a fag if you know what i mean. you get to laugh at people going out side in the rain too
stick with it and you get to be a richouse x-smoker who coughs loudly when someone smelling of fags walks into the room oh and that smell - you won't belive how much it hangs on you...
good on you both...

I gave up the fags about 8 or 9 years ago, oddly the only time now I ever get a craving is at wedding receptions, maybe because I find them dull so get very drunk! It was the best thing I ever did though and now after watching my mother-in-law, a 20+ a day smoker for 40 years die a slow death from lung cancer I ain't gonna start again ever.

I cant believe no one has mentioned the Yamaha LC's They revolutionised biking, and proddy racing. I had a 250 lc then got the new fandangled Powervalve 350F the fully faired version. I have had all sorts including a Gsxr1100 a Fireblade RRV model a streetfightered bandit to a KTM 400LC and a Vespa 200 but you cant really call that a bike!

dylan its 100 bhp - not 100 cc
a standard 1200cc harley engine puts out about 65bhp (sportster) this buell is basically the same engine with high lift cams, flatslide carb, race ignition, race exhaust and headers and air filter - puts it upto 100 bhp (at rear wheel) but around 93 ft/lb of torque
and short wheel base makes it fun on twisty roads
Ive fitted US gearing to make it quicker but it looses some top end speed - having said that its an anfaired bike at the end of the day - just nipped out earlier on it and it'll do 120 no prob (on private road of course) wind gets a nuisance over that (but builds up yer neck muscles) |

How do you add pics to these forums? I see the option to add an image but it wants the image path url, does that mean you have to upload pics to a website first? Bit long winded
