The Yamaha FJ1200 was the first vehicle to fail the DoT noise test because it wheelspan past both microphones. The test had to be revised after that.

That was the restricted version too, I had a spin on my mate Grahams FJ, that had been got at by the original owner. A guy called Chris Vincent,

He had a shop in Earl Shilton and the FJ was his 'demonstrator' and personal toy.

That's true. Black swans don't bury their heads in the sand.

There was actually a recorded case of a black swan doing exactly that.
Sadly, as it was very dark under there and cos his head was black he wasnt able to find it again....he passed away in that position.
Not sure but I think his name was Vestas.

On average farting burns 67 calories. Farting 52 times in a day could burn a pound of fat.

Polar Bears can swim hundreds of miles. One was once recorded as having swam 400 miles across open water to reach land. So don't get upset when you see a picture of one standing on a small ice floe.

Polar Bears are virtually invisible to infra red cameras. Being mainly nocturnal, this has made estimating their true numbers practically impossible.

Due to them generally only remaining for a short duration and no real evidence suggesting that they overstay, it hasn't been an issue, but to ensure equality, new legislation will force snowmen to have to apply for a visa to visit this country.

 

[Drago]

There is little scientific evidence that polar bears actually exist.
