biffsgasgas Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 OMG I have been riding my new Beta for the past couple of weeks.... Most mornings I can not wait to take a spin on it... Sitting down as it warms up is preferable. I have to say that its not to uncomfortable.... very very rigid. after i have had several hours to gain my own balance I can ride it standing up. Most trials riders need that good morning cup of coffee to get their sea legs (tea for those islanders). Had a couple of US pros take a ride on her the other week to validate its true skill set and apparently it does not disappoint. I really really like the new white shiny graphics! I gotta say that they make it look really really clean... For those that know me i am a diehard GasGas fan when i ride trials but every morning when I get on my Beta i find a sense of release that GasGas can not provide. Its a glorious release of tension.... May I present to you my new ride... Seat up isn't the normal setup... I usually run rain mode.... --Biff 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spen Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Airline Announcements: United Flight Attendant announced, 'People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it! ************ ********* ********* ******* On landing, the stewardess said, 'Please be sure to take all of your belongings.. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have. ' ************ ********* ********* ******* 'There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane' ************ ********* ********* ******* An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a 'Thanks for flying our airline.' He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, 'Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?' 'Why, no, Ma'am,' said the pilot. 'What is it?' The little old lady said, 'Did we land, or were we shot down?' ************ ********* ********* ********* As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Ronald Reagan, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: 'Whoa, big fella, WHOA!' ************ ********* ********* ********* **** After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced, 'Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because sure as hell everything has shifted after a landing like that.' ************ ********* ********* ******* Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: 'We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.' ************ ********* ********* ******* Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo .... Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!' ************ ********* ********* ***** 'Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and, in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments.' ************ ********* ********* ***** 'As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses... except for that gentleman over there.' ************ ********* ********* ********* *** Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake City. The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, 'That was quite a bump, and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt.' ************ ********* ********* ********* * After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the attendant came on with, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.' ************ ********* ********* ********* * Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: 'We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of US Airways..' ************ ********* ********* ********* * Heard on a Southwest Airline flight - 'Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing and if you can light 'em, you can smoke 'em.' ************ ********* ********* ********* * A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom; 'Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax.... OH, MY GOD!' Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!' A passenger in coach yelled, 'That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!' ************ ********* ********* ********* * A man boarded a plane with six kids. After they got settled in their seats a woman sitting across the aisle from him leaned over to him and asked, "Are all of those kids yours?" He replied, "No. I work for a condom company. These are customer complaints." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot 3 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hillary Clinton decided to send Donald Trump a letter to let him know how she felt about him. Trump opened the letter and it appeared to contain a single line coded message;370HSSV 0773HTrump was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Vanessa Trump and his children. Vanessa Trump and the children had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI.No one could solve it at the FBI, CIA or NASA. They eventually asked Britain's MI6 for help.Within minutes, MI6 cabled this reply: "Tell Mr Trump that he is holding the message upside down." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm great at multi-tasking--I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at once. 7. If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame. 8. Never tell your problems to anyone, because 20 percent don't care and the other 80 percent are glad you have them. 9. Doesn't expecting the unexpected mean that the unexpected is actually expected? 10. Take my advice — I'm not using it. 11. I hate it when people use big words just to make themselves sound perspicacious. 12. Hospitality is the art of making guests feel like they're at home when you wish they were. 13.

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes. 18. If you keep your feet firmly on the ground, you'll have trouble putting on your pants. 19. A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing. 20. Ever stop to think and forget to start again? 21. When I married Ms. Right, I had no idea her first name was Always. 22. My wife got 8 out 10 on her driver's test--the other two guys managed to jump out of her way. 23.

He who laughs last thinks slowest. 27. Is it wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly? 28. Women sometimes make fools of men, but most guys are the do-it-yourself type. 29.

spen Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Nicola Sturgeon was visiting a Scottish primary school and the class was in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked Mrs Sturgeon if she would like to lead the discussion on the word 'Tragedy'.So the illustrious SNP leader asked the class for an example of a 'Tragedy'.A little boy stood up and offered, "If ma best freen, wha’ lives on a ferm, is playin' in the field and a tractor rins ower him and kills him, that wid be a tragedy.""Incorrect", said Nicola, in her best trying-not-to-sound-too-patronising-Scottish-accent, "That would be an accident."A little girl raised her hand, "If a school bus kerryin' fifty children drove ow’r a cliff, killing a'body inside, that wid be a tragedy"'I'm afraid not', explained Nicola, "that's what we would refer to as a great loss’’.The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Nicola searched the room."Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"Finally, at the back of the room, a wee lad raised his hand and, in a quiet voice, said: "If a plane kerryin' you and your deputy ' wiz struck by a 'freendly fire' missile & blawn tae smithereens, that wid be a tragedy.""Fantastic!" exclaimed Nicola, "and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?""Weel", says the lad, "it has tae be a tragedy, because it certainly widnae be a great loss, and it probably widnae be an accident either!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spen Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 In the light of recent police announcements that they no longer consider it necessary to attend the scene of domestic burglaries. I have taken down the St. George's flag from beside the house and peeled the burglar alarm sticker off the front door. We've disconnected and cancelled our home alarm system contract and quit our Neighbourhood Watch. I've bought two Pakistani flags on eBay and raised them in the front garden, one at each corner, plus a black flag of ISIS in the centre. Now the local police, CID, MI5, SAS and other UK counter terrorism agencies are all watching the house 24/7. We've never felt safer and we're saving £14.95 a month. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Confucius Did Not Say! Man who wants pretty nurse must be patient. Passionate kiss, like spider web, leads to undoing of fly. Lady who goes camping with man must beware of evil intent. Squirrel who runs up woman's leg will not find nuts. Man who leaps off cliff jumps to conclusion. Man who runs in front of car gets tired, but man who runs behind car gets exhausted. Man who eats many prunes get good run for money. War does not determine who is right; it determines who is left. Man who fights with wife all day get no piece at night. It takes many nails to build a crib, but only one screw to fill it. Man who drives like hell is bound to get there. Man who stands on toilet is high on pot. Wise man does not keep sledge hammer and slow computer in same room. Man who lives in glass house should change clothes in basement. Confucius may not have said these things, but they are still true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
