Our Labrador had to go to the vet today as she has arthritis in her left elbow and she’s been limping a bit lately so we’ve put her in for a check. She gets quite stressed so they have given her a sedative to keep her calm………within a couple of minutes she was sleeping and snoring like a warthog. Niw waiting for a couple of hours while they give her the full check, x-rays etc etc……..won’t be cheap but she’s worth it.

My first cat 1 load

My MetalFab mate's son's 700 Raptor he used to dirt drag.... stroked & bored to 835cc....it'd do a 100 yard dash in 3.8 seconds...

Yes you were ripped off you could have bought an annual bus pass for that and saved your street cred

yeh ..not for me either... one of the episodes on tv show he had made me laugh.... he wasn't one for holidays and his wife kept nagging him for one, ... a job came up in Blackpool i think it was , so he told her he booked a holiday when they got their he had her holding the ladder for him so he could do the job

oh dear ...

In 1989 I had 48 bikes 47 kawasaki and 1 Honda I love motorcycles

The funniest memory like that for me was back when i had my old YZ490, i used to ride through the local forestry to get to the coal tip to play and used the same route every time so i knew it well. The one part was a Stoney track about 6ft wide, it started with a 50 yard dash off the forestry road to an S bend and after that it was a long right hand curve about quarter of a mile long up a steep hill through the trees with an even steeper drop off into the trees to the left, after the S bend i'd have the throttle wide open and just kick it up the box as i'd done many times before there, but this time as i approached the top two mountain bikers appeared and the cocks were side by side it happened so fast i didn't hit the brakes until i was on top of them, the one on the right just fell against the banking but the one on the left went over the edge into the forestry, i only stopped to see if he survived and judging by the way he was clambering back up to the track waving his fist at me he did so i just fucked off, Never went over there again because it was the time when mountain bikes started becoming popular they spoilt a lot of places for me fucking hate the entitled pricks with the exception of the ones on here of course

@XTreme trying to listen to Bender and co

Almost as quick as me heading across site to the shitter today

I have no idea what spunk taste like...I've heard from a few Pete's been given free blowjobs since his honda purchase... Pete could you shed some light on this ? And you better not say strawberry...I will vomit for sure....

Fuck road cyclists!

My first two wheeler back in 71 was a 1962 Lambretta TV175......paid 22.50 for it! I was fucking ripped off! I think the reg was 639 AWN! However, I did sell it for 35 quid a couple of months later after binning it about ten times!

Is that so you have something to pull the truck out of ditches?

70’s 80’s 90’s , now…. Always been the same for me

Lets start with climate as discussed with ChatGTP. Australian CO2 emissions by ChatGTP An interesting chat online with Artificial Intelligence, which can’t be wrong, can it? Me: What percentage of the earth’s air is carbon dioxide? No other answer required, just the percentage ChatGPT: The percentage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth’s atmosphere is approximately 0.04% (400 parts per million). Me: What percentage of the above result of 0.04% does man contribute to that? Again, no other answer required, other than the percentage asked. ChatGPT: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, human activities contribute to approximately 3-4% of the total carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth’s atmosphere. Me: Of the 3-4% that man contributes as you stated above, what percentage of that does Australia contribute? Again, no other answer required, other than the percentage asked. ChatGPT: Australia contributes about 1.3% of the global human-produced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Me: According to the answers you gave, Australia contributes (adds) 0.0000208% to total global variance in carbon dioxide. That is 0.04% times 4% times 1.3%. ChatGPT: Your calculation is correct. Australia’s contribution to the total global variance in carbon dioxide is approximately 0.0000208%. Me: Based on reasonable and general estimates as quoted to derive a figure of 1.3%, would it be reasonable to assume that if Australia targets a reduction of 50% in man made carbon dioxide, it would reduce significantly the impact on Australia’s environment? ChatGPT: Yes, it would be reasonable to assume that if Australia were to target a 50% reduction in its human-made carbon dioxide emissions, it could have a significant positive impact on the country’s environment and contribute to global efforts to mitigate climate change. Such a reduction target would help reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, slow the pace of global warming, and help protect the environment by limiting the adverse effects associated with climate change. However, the actual impact would depend on the specific policies, actions, and measures taken to achieve this reduction and the timeline in which they are implemented. Me: So, you think “significant” in Australia’s case means Australia would reduce it’s man made contribution to global world carbon dioxide emissions by 0.0000104% (which is the current 0.0000208% times 50%). Just a YES or NO answer only please. ChatGPT: Yes. Me: Again, I ask the question. Do you think, by all standards of logic, that a reduction of 0.0000104% of man made carbon dioxide would “significantly” contribute to the world wide reduction of man made carbon dioxide? A simple YES or NO would suffice. ChatGPT: No Me: What percentage of all plant life will grow in a zero carbon dioxide atmosphere? ChatGPT: Plants require carbon dioxide (CO2) for photosynthesis, a process that allows them to produce energy from sunlight. In a zero carbon dioxide atmosphere, plants would be unable to carry out photosynthesis and would not survive. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that any significant percentage of plant life would grow in such conditions. Carbon dioxide is a crucial component of the Earth’s atmosphere for supporting plant life. It acts as a raw material for photosynthesis, and plants play a vital role in maintaining the balance of atmospheric gases. Without carbon dioxide, plants cannot synthesize organic compounds, and the entire ecosystem would be severely disrupted. In reality, a zero carbon dioxide atmosphere is not a scenario that could naturally occur on Earth, as it would be incompatible with the basic requirements for life as we know it.

Threads in this forum are like working in a lab with bacteria, you drop something in a petri dish and watch as it turns green and then develops a personality and tries to take over stuff.

Who remembers Fred Dibnah, ... character and balls of steel

One of the best car driving memories I have is causing a row of Tour de France style cyclists to go down like a house of cards. Approaching the roundabout they were negotiating using a very racy line on a very wet road, I act surprised and only stop right behind the white line (where you should stop), this caused just enough of a distraction for the leader to weave a bit, the leader caused the second guy to brake and slide off, and this caused the following 5 or 6 guys to do the same. All this and I'm stopped looking at them laughing, without having entered the roundabout.

remember my dad telling me ..he was out on a sunday afternoon on his motorbike, came up behind a large group about 20 pushbikes all dressed up in their racing lycra, taking up the whole of the lane .. road opened up as he went to over take em , one of em in the middle of the pack came off , dad said it was carnage , they all started coming off falling all over the road...if they want to race they should go hire a race track.

When my daughter was 17 she bought a Piaggio NRG 50 to travel to work on, 27mph on the flat, maybe 35 downhill, we bought a sports exhaust, without the restricter in the header pipe, and took the restricter spacer out of the variator, resulting in 45mph on the flat, 50+ downhill, illegal, very, but a damn site safer than 27mph with buses and lorries trying to overtake her.

Yes wheres those god damn lazy admins to move it, wouldn't be here if @Six30 got the gig

Here read this...

Off up to Ayr from Immingham

Easy when you know how, or maybe not.

Billy Bob said you swallowed it all.

I think none of that here, none of the biker culture you had as I think being a biker simply wasn't a thing. In the 60s and up to 1974 Portugal was a very conservative dictatorship, "God, Country and Family" was the motto and taken seriously. Political and vice police and censorship meant acting tough on motorcycles would see you ending up worse than being banned from a pub. Mostly I think bikes were a working man's mode of transport to go to work and back, surely there must have been tough guys, and guys enjoying motorcycles even if only 50cc, but I don't think motorcycles were a symbol of anything except not having money for a car. Having said that, I was born in 1981 so what do I know

We all know the answer to that question ....not receiving ..he's giving them away for free..

You getting any with the Honda?

I’m only here because @XTreme told me he needed help in raising the amount of swearing used on the forum. The fucking cunt said you lot were complete wank stains and were far too posh. Now I know he was wrong and that you are, indeed, all fucking cunts. ………….that’s gotta be worth a bonus payment @XTreme?

This Aussie cracks me up with his take on the world. One of you mates Zzak?

Here's a good one, where's the wing, where's the hole it should have left ?

Nothing better than being an outcast on the fringes of society Ray! You noticed how many guys of our generation are now sad, boring cunts?

……..and that’s why I feel so comfortable here

How were bikers treated back then Pedro, i got into road bikes in the late 80's and there were very few cafe's or pubs that would allow you in, there were even signs outside some places saying no bikers and it was even worse in the 70's

Very true @Pedro , I thought I was the bees knees when I got my RD250DX

Just for thought though, consider that that is very relative to where you were living in back then. A big bike like all those brit bikes that blue collar broke undesirables were riding in the UK were a rich man’s bike in Portugal and Spain, and maybe Italy too. Here if you were riding a 500 or 600 Triumph before 1974 that meant you were either a person with plenty of disposable income or had rich parents, usually older gentlemen or rich kids. Brokies used to ride 50cc national made bikes, now that was properly dire! I don’t think they were undesirables though, just broke.

We had a bathroom suite in that colour..............................in the 1970,s

I rode a Vespa 50 once

Four cans of Stella and you'd be on it like a jack rabbit

You're only here cos I was fucking desperate for members! When you'll take Cockneys you know you've hit rock bottom.

Could of warned us before deleting, could have given him a proper send off.
