I passed my test and was looking at either the CB500X or the NC750X. The hubs was after a Tracer 900 gt. Im only 5ft 3 and it was suggested i might struggle with the X so i opted for the NC750s. From a short arsed womans point of view its heavy to push about. Its got the turning circle of a ship and you can easily hit the rev limiter. However, once you get to grips with it its an easy bike to ride and it has some nice grunt to it in any gear. Ive put a puig touring screen on and fitted pannier racks. The touring screen was a must as i struggled on the motorway with it...i was hanging on rather than riding im just under 10st. Once rhe new Bridgestones were scrubbed in i found more confidence to lean in more and the bikes solid as a rock. The front 'tank' space is huge and can fit a helmet in. The petrol goes in under the pillion seat. Bloody hreat on fuel too !!! Great first big bike and im having a blast on it so far ☺ Yes the screen totally ruins the look of the bike in my opinion and does look like the queen aliens head in aliens so ive called her Ripley.

My dad had a few dogs when he was in the RAF Police, I only remember Bruce, a large German Shepherd, who was around when I was little and lived with us in married quarters. He died when I was 6, suspected poisoning my parents believed. My dad told me that all of his dogs had a favourite place to grab a human when he and his colleagues had to take turns wearing the padded suit for training. Bruce apparently like to grab a large chunk of back side and hang on for dear life. He went on to tell me about the time he lost sight of Bruce and his intended victim during a tracking exercise and by the time he caught up again he saw his colleague hanging by his arms from the branch of a tree with Bruce hanging on to his arse, both swinging together like a big hairy pendulum.

This is my Dad with one of his police dogs, a picture that I found when clearing my Mum's house out after she passed away. This is before I was born, with the jungly looking plants the other side of the wire I assume it was taken in either Singapore (Changi airfield or prison) or Ceylon (Sri Lanka now)

My WiFi scan since having the second jab. Should I be worried?

Just about to go out to watch a band at a club something i haven't done since before covid hopefully wont be like this later

Use to watch the air force train dogs going to Nam on Guam, amazing what they can do.

Surely that's what Viagra is for, to keep pensioners' slippers dry.

As a qualified electronics engineer I would continuity test everything and do it myself, given what I know about you, don’t be a cunt, take it to the dealer.

At his age they are safe now anyway, he pisses his pants long before he can piss on his shoes.

Most of those hole-in-the-ground bogs have been replaced with proper ones now, so your trainers are safe(ish) now.

You’re fucking delusional you ginger twat!

I like this video, first the guy won't get out of the car, then the dog gets in and he tries to get out, and the puppy says: "where you going? come back here!"

My dad said that Changi Prison had a wall with a bloodstain that kept reappearing every time it was washed off or painted over, said to be from when it was a POW/internment camp run by the Japanese during WW2

hot here at the mo, high 20's and just into the 30's the last couple of days. looks to be set fine too.... but I can't ride, obviously! I thought I was orking sunday but aparrently not so a lazy day at home on the cards I s'pose.

Page 1 if you search for “ginger twat on Chinese motorcycle “

I Like the way the window shatters and when the dude gets dragged out he's dancing on glass with no shoe on

We were close to that area 2 weeks ago - that's where they had all of the alien crap in the stores. etc. Not shit to see down there and the riding sucks.

Its only when im moving it around manually that i find it awkward and heavy. The suzuki 650 i learnt on was a breeze compared to this but once im actually riding it theres no comparison, it knocks spots off the suzuki. Im just pumping more iron

37C in Denver this weekend - went from snow to hot as shit in a week. So I guess that was Spring then. It's a good deal cooler up here in the mountains, so it'll be crowded as shit with city people trying to beat the heat. A good weekend to stay home!

Shit! Wife wants to go to the shops in Albox tomorrow!

That’s easy, just ride the piece of shite.

I sold quite a lot of stuff on there before coming out here.......including my Speed Triple. It was also on fleabay, but didn't get a single sniff from there.

I picked up a mint dual seat for the Glide for £60. They sell for around £250 or so on Fleabay.

Great news wait while we send you the Indian version.

Here's some photos from my ride with the TRF Sunday. The forecast said it was supposed to rain but we didn't get a drop had a great day with no incidents. Some of the photos are from the lady that accompanied us shes a bit of a camera buff

Give him my best!

Yeah he does. Hes coming back this way in 3 weeks. Hes an absolute legend. Him and his mrs are awesome people

@XTreme, @skyrider low seat height as well...

How is the cbr400 coming along?

From my point of view it wasn't a pinch on the cbf600, I found it to be very underpowered though as you say quite torquey and also the tank range was pitiful being empty in around 80 miles when ridden on the motorway, though saying all this it would be the idea first big bike due to its relaxed riding position and torquey twin

What did you think once you fettled it?

....well they did come down in a spaceship at the start of the concert.....never got around to us, we were way back in the cheap seats.

Congrats on passing your test, bet its nice to get on a bigger machine. I had one when I was a courier after having a cbf600 and it did take alot of getting used to.

bet they were worth a view though

I ever the finances come my way it will be another bike. I do like the look of the Benelli TRX....

Right! So as not to embarrass the Indians that they had to grovel to for a trade deal! And that's the reason why they left the borders open to them when other countries blocked them. What happened to the Kent variant? Or does that now have another name as well?

Something like the NC would suit you @Clive

You're not allowed to say that anymore , it's the 'delta' strain now . So if you order a curry tonight ask if it's the Covid special (chinese) or Delta special (Indian ).

I lived on the coast of central california from 1962 to 68, it got foggy like clockwork, i dont remember any rain, every day was sunshine cold was 50 hot was 70.

Tis a heavy beast but like i say its only when you are shoving it round manually. Riding, even at slow speeds it doesnt feel heavy at all.

Fantastic dog!

So the WiFi microchip they implanted in you has come to life now eh tango, you'll be getting a knock on the door anytime now from men in black suits

I have its just wales is wales.....and you can't be a brit without giving the Welsh some stick Rules is rules

He is so needy, what do you say Clive?
