  1. A professor at the University of Nebraska was giving a lecture on the supernatural.

    To get a feel for his audience, he asks, 'How many people here believe in ghosts?'

    About 90 students raise their hands.

    'Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?'

    About 40 students raise their hands.

    'That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?'

    About 15 students raise their hand.

    'Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?'

    Three students raise their hands.

    'That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further....Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?'

    Way in the back, Bubba raises his hand.

    The professor takes off his glasses, and says 'Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience.'

    The big redneck student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium.

    When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks, 'So, Bubba, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost?'

    Bubba replied, 'Shiiiit!! From way back there I thought you said Goats.

  2. according to site there is not a brass slide available (maybe it is available by special order but if that's the case then that would push the price of any carb up) but you can customise a carb to any spec you want and it's all at no extra cost, the more I look at it the more it seems the people at Amal carb are doing a good job of putting the carb on the market at the right price at any spec you want, as I say no vested interest and have not purchased from them but am impressed by whats on offer on website.

    Have a look here :-

  3. Surely there is a tire lock/clamp? and you have tightened it?

    If there isn't... i'd get down to the bike shop and buy one. Drill the rim out to accept it (opposite the valve hole). It will stop the tire from turning.

    Check where the rim is joined (some wheel builders put the valve hole opposite) in this case put the rim lock at 120 degrees. Rims also come in different widths, so make sure you get the right size. Also if your drilling the rim, check there will be room for the nut and washer of the rim lock, the angle of the spokes can get in the way for tightening.

  4. Pardon an "off-topic" question from a Yank.

    Do your Trials in the UK require that bikes be registered?

    Alan

    Only if they have road sections like the pre 65 scottish and the ssdt. Most local / club trials do not require road compliance.

  5. One of the blessings of being stupid is that you don't know you're stupid...... until something goes wrong

    I've found that the more stupid people are, the more intellegent they "think" they are.

    Politicians spring to mind.
