Live in the west of England. Love riding my motorbikes, reading old books and newspapers. Spend too much time in old bookshops and fiddling around with my bikes.

... whilst I raved about my reduced fuel consumption I forgot that I fixed on the Ermax screen about the same time as I took the baffle out. Not so strange then!
I am surprised you found no performance gain. My CBF definitely feels quicker... or perhaps I'm deluding myself or my speedo is deceiving me! I am now running without the baffle as my local dealer reckoned the fuel injection would compensate for the reduced back pressure. My CBF went in for its 2500 read more...

I had a diesel engine Grande Punto as a rental car for a week. I was very impressed with it on the motorway. It cruised like a bigger car and the fuel economy was excellent. You are right though that it is sluggish under acceleration. I suspect that the weight which makes it drive so well on the mot read more...

Nice posting As I get older I realise that being a good father is very important to me and I recognise the role of my own father in making me the person I am today. As for being patient helpful and strong... well I try!

T20 ... so sad it is over What a joy it has been to have the T20 in England! The sell out crowds show how this format of cricket appeals to a wide audience who otherwise would never dream of going to a cricket match. I have enjoyed every minute. At least we have the Ashes to look forward to...
PAKISTAN TRIUMPHS @ T20 World CUP
I never really understood the front fairing on the Honda Stunner (CBF125). Undoubtedly it improves the looks of the bike, but functionally it added nothing and is just something else you need to remove during maintenance. Then on a French website I saw the Ermax screens. Available in two heights th read more...
Excellent news on your fast delivery. I will be interested to hear whether you find the performance improved.
Hi, Forgot to mention... I bought the exhaust direct off Devil in France by mail order. http://www.devil-exhaust.co.uk/ Cost about £260 I think. Delivery was slow and they only responded to my chase email when I rewrote it in French! Otherwise I am very pleased...
Hi, The Devil exhaust is very good. It fitted easily, looks great and the quality is top notch. As it comes the exhaust has a baffle in the muffler which is retained by a single rivet. This is to make it quiet enough for it to be road legal. I drilled out the rivet and replaced it with a nut and read more...
The YBR and the CBF are so similar in performance it almost comes down to which brand you prefer or which dealer is closer. Personally I like both Yamaha and Honda bikes but tend to believe that Honda build quality is better.

England Soccer Fan Gets Shot

It's Bristol Temple Mead Station... It's the oldest railway station in Britain. First built in the 1830's.
Guys take a look at this picture..........
At the weekend an England soccer fan was asked to stop singing in a bar in Kyrgyzstan before the England match against Kazakhstan. He refused so a local shot him in the leg with a pistol. Presumably this replaced the sound of bad English singing with the noise of a drunk Englishman screaming and swe read more...
