I'm building a Post Classic racer and am switching the wheels over to 17", we have open choice for wheels and tyres here and the front original had a dirty great crack in it.
Does anyone have any idea if there is a modern(ish) 17" front that will fit without too much agro? I've got an FZR 400 on the back but not bothered about them matching. ]]> Classics yorkshireracer http://www.suzukiownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php/61573-Wheel-change-in-GS550. Hopkins To Return At Miller Motorsports Park http://www.suzukiownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php/61572-Hopkins-To-Return-At-Miller-Motorsports-Park?goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 08:46:20 GMT

John Hopkins has been passed fit to ride at the next round of the World Superbike Championship at Miller Motorsports Park in America.
The FIXI Crescent Suzuki rider was forced to miss the last round at Donington through injury, after breaking his right foot and tearing muscles in his left hip at Monza.
Hopkins returned to California to visit specialists to further diagnose and hopefully cure the problems, and after a series of tests it was revealed that there was no significant long-term damage.
However, it is expected that he will still need to have a series of painkilling injections to combat the discomfort to enable him to race, but the American is determined and committed to getting back onboard his GSX-R1000 and getting a good result on home soil.
He said, “I was so disappointed to miss Donington Park, where I’m sure I could have been in that crazy fight for the win!
“It’s been a really rough ride physically over recent times, and there were some real worries over the hip condition, but I know I have a lot more to give and that my luck has to change for the better.
“The team, my family and close friends have been really supportive and I just want to get back into what I know I can do best.
“I am fully committed to racing at Miller and I will be doing everything possible from now and up to the race weekend to ensure that I do whatever I can to get the best result possible for FIXI Crescent Suzuki, me and everyone involved.
“It won’t be easy, so I plan to take it step-by-step, enjoy the riding and build back into it.”
Team Manager Jack Valentine commented, “This is great news and certainly a big boost for the team!
“We are all delighted to have John back for Miller and after such a positive weekend at Donington, where the GSX-R showed it was able to run at podium pace, it is equally important to get him back out there with Leon so we can continue to take steps forward.
“I know it will be difficult for him as he will have to overcome the pain, but there will be no pressure from us and John’s a tough cookie as recent history has shown!”

A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two largeblack plastic rubbish bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and everyonce in a whilea £20 note fell out. Noticing this, apoliceman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are £20 notesfalling out of that bag."



"Oh really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'dbetter go back and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me officer."



“Well, now, not so fast," said the cop. Where did you get allthat money? Youdidn't steal it, did you?"



“Oh, no, no", said the old lady. "You see, my backgarden is right next to the football stadium car park. On game days, a lot offans come and pee through a knot hole in the fence, right onto my flower beds.It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought,'why not make the best of it? So, now, on match days, I stand behind the fenceby theknot hole, real quiet, with my hedgecutters. Every time someone uses the hole in my fence, I surprise him, grabhold of it and say, 'O.K., ! Give me £20, or off it comes."



"Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing."OK. Good luck! Oh, bythe way, what's inthe other bag?"



"Well, you know", said the little old lady, "noteverybody pays."

There was a guy riding through the desert on his camel. He had been travelling so long that he felt the need to have sex. Obviously there were no women in the desert so the man turned to his camel.

He tried to position himself to have sex with his camel but the camel ran away. The man ran to catch up to the camel and got back on and started to ride again. Soon he was feeling the urge to have sex again so once again he turned to his camel. The camel refused by running away. So he caught up to it again and go on it again.

Finally after riding the camel through the whole desert the man came to a road. There was a broken down car with three big chested beautiful blondes sitting in it.
He went up to them and asked the women if they needed any help.

The hottest girl said, "If you fix our car we will do anything you want."

The man luckily knew a thing or two about cars and fixed it in a flash.

When he finished are three girls asked, "How could we ever repay you Mr."

After thinking for a short while he replied, "Could you hold my camel?" ]]> Joke and Funnies rxdc http://www.suzukiownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php/61569-sex-in-the-desert fascinate http://www.suzukiownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php/61568-fascinate?goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 23:18:44 GMT The teacher asked the class to use the word 'fascinate' in a sentence.

Molly put up her hand and said, ‘My family went to my granddad’s farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating.'

The teacher said, 'That was good, but I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate, not fascinating'.

Sally raised her hand. She said, 'My family went to see RockCity and I was 'fascinated.' The teacher said, 'Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate.'

Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before.

She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word 'fascinate', so she called on him.

Johnny said, 'My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight.'

The husband said to his wife that is was necessary for her to make some money through prostitution to get by.

So the husband drove her to the place where she had to do the job and in the evening he picked her up again.

"So, how much have you earned today?" the husband asked.

"Well", the woman responded, "I've made one hundred dollars and fifty cents."

"That's strange", the husband responded, "who gave you the fifty cents?"

"All of them, of course!" said the woman. ]]> Joke and Funnies rxdc http://www.suzukiownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php/61567-cheap Ask your mum http://www.suzukiownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php/61566-Ask-your-mum?goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 23:07:43 GMT Little Johnny, stuttering, asked his mom,...]]>

The brain said: "I should be in charge, because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."
"I should be in charge," said the heart, "because I pump the blood and circulate oxygen all over the body, so without me you'd all waste away."
"I should be in charge," said the stomach, "because I process food and give all of you energy."
"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "because I'm responsible for waste removal."
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, and the blood was toxic.
Eventually the other organs gave in. They all agreed that the rectum should be the boss.
The moral of the story: You don't have to be smart or important to be in charge..., just an asshole do. ]]> Joke and Funnies rxdc http://www.suzukiownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php/61565-who-is-in-charge 3 times a lady http://www.suzukiownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php/61564-3-times-a-lady?goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 22:54:31 GMT When asked by their host if she would like...]]>

When asked by their host if she would like another drink, the attractive blonde bowed her head slightly and said, "No thank you. My husband limits me to one drink."
"Why is that," the host asked?
Her reply... "Because after one drink I can feel it; after two drinks ...anyone can!"


A woman is in bed with her lover who happens to be her husband's best friend. They make love for hours, and afterwards, while they're just laying there, the phone rings. Since it is the woman's house, she picks up the receiver. Her lover looks at her and listens, only hearing her side of the conversation ...
(She is speaking in a cheery voice) "Hello? Oh, hi. I'm so glad that you called. Really? That's wonderful. I am so happy for you. That sounds terrific. Great! Thanks. Okay. Bye."
She hangs up the telephone, and her lover asks, "Who was that?"
"Oh," she replies," that was my husband telling me all about the wonderful time he's having with you on his fishing trip."
