  1. Can anyone tell me why bike shops only open for half a day on Sunday?

    I have never worked this one out. I did ask in a motorbike shop once and the reply was "we don't make enough money on a sunday to break even". Surely more people are around to buy accessories and trial bikes on a sunday than on a week day? Just never made sense, you don't see harvey norman...

    Saw a poker run and a rally posters (two different events) today. American, European and British bikes only. WTF? Racist cunts (and don't they realise Britain is part of Europe?). How 'bout someone runs a rally for Jap & Korean bikes only?
