Rock N Blues.
Yeeha the summer is here again and the Rock and blues looks like it will be a great weekend, as does the Bulldog a couple of weeks later.
Anyone waiting for the Outcasts documentary/Video please bear with me as having problems getting it to transfer to DVD/computer, but I will be getting back to all concerned. It occurs to me to put it up on You tube when it is sorted ..... anyone agree ?

Car MOT
I kept reading stories that confirmed my view/hunch that test centres with repair garages might naughtily be making work for themselves ....and of course money ! by failing vehicles willy nilly.
On several websites there are postings by people who have had a test fail on their car, and quotes for the work from the side-arm garage.........but have then placed the car in the hands of the local authority test centre (not a lot of people know these even exist) and the vehicle has sailed through to a pass.......................
last week my car (an 03 reg) was failed by my Nationwide Autocentre.(MOT special offer £27.50) andI was asked if I wanted to leave the vehicle for what would amount to several hundred pounds worth of work. I said I'd get my specialist to do the work (he is good and cheaper !). Unfortunately he was busy so I thought it would be a good time to 'risk' the money and test the local authority test centre theory.
I was a bit nervous that it could of course find more faults as the local authority test centres are very meticulous and do not offer discounts at all.
The vehicle was quote:- "a good car" and sailed through to pass. not even a notifier of the failing points found by Nationwide.
Nuff said
Don't get me started on Bike Mot's
"Wots an MOT ? " haha

Bulldog Bash 2010
I was at the bykuz.com website and a saw two words which don't really go together - (1)“sensible” (2)policing.
BullDog Bash welcomes “sensible” policing.

Sandra Bullock's estranged hubby Jesse James has been beside himself for the last 3 weeks over his missing pitbull Puppy. It's all smiles now as he is seen here hugging the pup after a happy re-union.
Oh yeah, and after been ditched recently by wifey Sandra bullock, James, the CEO of West Coast Choppers, will now get to put across his side of the story when he speaks with Vicki Mabrey from ABC in an interview to air in the US on May 25.
Bullock, 45, has since given an interview to PEOPLE magazine where she revealed she had adopted a baby boy.

Brakes are for wimps !
Spare a thought for all those poor city workers,accountants and hairdressers who will have to find other means of transport while their bikes are off the road..............................
Reports are that thousands of BMW motorcycles are being recalled due to a possible brake problem.
The recall, believed to involve around 122,000 machines worldwide, covers various versions of six models.
This includes the R 1200 GS Adventure model, versions of which were ridden by Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor in their 2007 Long Way Down biking adventure.
British owners of the bikes got a letter telling them that vibrations could cause the front brake lines to develop leaks which could allow brake fluid to escape which could lead to a failure of the front brakes.
models involved are the R 1200 GS, the R 1200 R, the R 1200 RT, the R 1200 ST and the K 1200
