They get over it really quick, don't worry. And if you haven't had them tagged, get the vet to do it while they're out.
Oh, they got done today. Too late... |

You should try Vauxhall Cross/Vauxhall bridge if you want to see scooters all over the place in the mornings  |

GRRRRRRR FFS!!
the wanker that ripped me off last year for £1500 is in court at the moment on another matter, (the one where I gave evidence the otherday)
He has been saying to us that he's really poor and has been ripped of himself by other people and yet I've just been told that the court have delayed this trial to a date in October, which he has said he cannot make as he and his wife will be on holiday in the Maldives!!!! _________________ The Stevie Wonder of rideouts!

Well more like what pissed me off yesterday, but I've just had the third puncture in 6 months on my car. Not a happy camper, seeing as I replaced all 4 tyres for my last MOT and have had to do two more replacements since then! So I'm driving round with a flat wheel in my boot until I get a chance to go to Kwikfit. Won't be getting expensive tyres, they'll only get another hole in them... |

Unless the hole is near the edge, you can get a vulcanized bung in the hole. Costs about a tenner and is as good as new. Kwik fit  _________________

Maybe it's a working holiday and the poor love will be swimming between the islands selling ice creams to earn enough for his flight back?
Or you could just break his legs before he gets his holiday insurance sorted  _________________ It still says "winner" on my trophies! |

Bike failed it's MOT - big time!
Front discs, rear discs, brake pads, steering yoke and all the bits - so all in all coming up to approx £700 worth of parts & work.
What I can't figure out is they say the yoke needs replacing because the bike's had a shunt. Well, I never have so it must have happened before I bought it. Which means, why wasn't it picked up on it's first MOT when I bought it or any subsequent MOTs?  _________________ We are all born mad. Some remain so. ~ Samuel Beckett 1906-1989 |

Might be worth taking it somewhere else for a 2nd opinion Suzibabe...
As for disks, honda OE ones are silly money, have a look on as people breaking bikes might have some part worn ones on there
try www.davidsilverspares.co.uk for honda bits too... _________________

Got the bits from David Silver & Wemoto. Tend to be the two sites we use most - quick and reasonably priced! _________________ We are all born mad. Some remain so. ~ Samuel Beckett 1906-1989 |

Maybe they jus tryin to pull a fast one about the yoke to get money out of you?
Lookin out the window an thinkin this weather is pissin me off...If there is someone up there, his bladder burst...
But hey, look on the bright side mum, at least if the weather stays like this you won't be missing anything.. _________________ You start the game of life with a full pot o' luck and an empty pot o' experience. The objective is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck.

Knee is officially f*cked
been hurting for ages so gave in & went to the quacks, he took one look and said "ooh that looks painfull"
has confirmed osteo arthritis but also thinks I've chipped a bit of bone off that's now floating around in the joint causing the extra pain. Can't do much other then refer me to a specialist
massive thankyou to Chilli today though for coming to my rescue with a pair of crutches to help me get around easier _________________ The Stevie Wonder of rideouts!
