Have to say, that despite having big reservations, watching Atlanta Utd in the MLS is quite fun. Been to a game and watched a few on TV and with sell out crowds they are actually quite a noisy bunch. The entire ground join in and stand for the entire match. The quality is a right jumble with some really good players (lower Prem league level) down to Div 4 standards, which makes games somewhat amusing to watch. They certainly like to attack. Much better than I expected.

675. Used, but in great nick. Belly pan, seat cowl, engine protectors and Arrow can. Turns out the former owner lives just round the corner from me so I'll have to have a chat with him.
The 765 looks amazing and even more of a class beater than the older 675, but my budget wouldn't stretch.

I'm not up with current bike licence regs, do new licence holders still have to have limiters fitted? I could well be talking shite  |

The rules changed in 2013.
Anyone can ride up to a 125cc (restricted to 11kW/15BHP) on L-plates with CBT. If you're older than 17 you can get an A1 licence and take the L-plates off.
When you're 19 you can get an A2 license and ride anything restricted to 35kW/47BHP.
Then either after 2 years experience on A2 or reaching age 24, you can do full category A which is unrestricted.
I'd only previously ridden a 125 when I was 17, so now being over the age of 24 I could get a full license and ride whatever I wanted. In theory I could've bought and ridden anything, but 1) I would've been arse raped by insurance and 2) 100+BHP from the Street Triple is plenty for now.

 As a fellow short arse, the seat position is great. I sat on a GSX-S750 which is taller and much bulkier and could only tip toe. If you do pop into Blade, speak to Steve Foster. He's away at the moment, but he's sold three Triumph's to our family now. |

A mate of mine interviewed Rod Stewart.
Journo: "What's your favourite chat up line?"
Rod: "What's in the bag? Never fails, 10 mins later we're in bed"
Journo: "What if she hasn't got a bag?"
Rod: "It doesn't really matter."
Journo: "Really?"
Rod: "I guess it helps if you're Rod fuckin' Stewart."

My wife's employer has introduced a new x-ray machine for post as increased security measures. On the first day they received a parcel containing 3 sizeable dildos. After that they had to communicate to staff that they would be x-raying everything and to be mindful when ordering stuff to be delivered to work. I am sure the member of staff involved look a bit sheepish (but happy) |
