I've not checked on the authenticity of the facts listed in this; it could all be totally made up crepe. But if it's real it's worrying. Particularly the Wingdings bit! The Secret behind the number 11 1) New York City has 11 letters 2) Afghanistan has 11 letters. 3) Ramsin Yuseb has 11...

I now own my 2 favorite vehicles from recent motorsport history, a Celica GTFour (nicely modded for killer handling and about 300bhp) and an Africa Twin (Black and therefore fast...!). Both were (imho) the icons of their era in their respective motorsports and I love owning them, but what are...

Just fitted these to my old AT and having returned from a short, wet test flight, I must say, I'm impressed. The acceleration is sharper, and the top gear roll on is much more impressive. Well pleased! :D :D :D :D

Read somewhere on this forum about using vaseline on the rims ... I mentioned it for a flight mechanic, and he was not very impressed. In normal vaseline there is acids he explained, and thereby corrosion might occur. I was recommended WD40 instead and will go for some silicon spray on the...

A quick re-cap for you all: My RD04 was nicked during the night of Wed 1st June. Between then and now I have received two calls from the police to say how unusual it was for bikes to be stolen in my village, cant remember the last time etc etc. Unfortunately they didn't ring to say they'd...

Bloke who sits next to me at work was planning to ride to the Island either the last week of May or the 3rd week of June (either side of thebig event). However he's just been offered a really cheap flight, so he wanted to know if I knew anyone who could recommend a bike hire place. He's a road...
