Hey guys, Kaliber here, im new to this biking stuff, but have allways loved me choppers and cruisers... My question is this, im 6'6" tall, 24st 6lbs, and 19 years old. Im looking for a bike to last me till im 21 so i can move up among the big boys Can anyone suggest anything? Getting a bigger bike obviously isnt an option, and itll mainly be for commuting into town and work/uni... I was looking at a Yamaha XVS125 Dragstar, heard somewhere there load limit is 28st?? Either that or a Virago 125, as my dad has the 750 allready and i love it lol TIA for the help, Kaliber.

hi everyone. is there a way to repair cracked mirrors at minimal cost?, i have two that i broke on my DT (one when i slipped off in a wet car park, the other when it fell over in the garage and smashed the mirror against the wall) and rather than fork out £30 for another set of universal mirrors for the Jawa would it be possible to repair the old mirrors and use them instead?. one of them just has a large crack down the middle of the glass, the other one has no glass at all, so maybe i could fill it in and put something else in there?

A bloke moved into a new area and went into his new local pub. He asked the barman for 3 pints of lager, when the barman set them up on the bar he had a drink out of the first one then the second one and finally the third one, he repeated this until all the drinks had gone, upon which he bid the barman farewell. He did this every day for a week upon which the barman asked what was going on? The bloke said that he was one of identical triplicates and they always drank together but made an agreement that when they went their seperate ways they would have a drink with each other in mind if not body. One night he went into his local and asked the barman for 2 pints of lage…

Okay, now, as you may/may not remember, i was planning to tour ireland on my DT50, but common sence and a lack of a full licence meant that i couldnt and tonight whilst scouring the web for Jawa parts i came across THIS and i for one think it is genius, put a sidecar onto my Jawa 350 and chuck all my stuff in it, maybe extend it so i can kip in it at night, anyone else ever tried sometihng like this and how well does it work?

I see that the races at Aberdare park on the 18th & 19th of July this year are on the same weekend as another good day at Pembrey with the NGRRC meeting. Who are these morons who decide the dates ??

Anybody else a bit irritated buy the press ALREADY going on the 'If jensen is winning all the races its boring line'. WTF are these idiots on, we have a brit in a brit car in a brit team giving the rest of the worlds best a can of whup ass. The Germans and Italians were insuferable with the sucess of their respective Driver/car combo and Murray would have kissed the ground Shuey walked on. But no not us brits, oh no he wins a couple of races and its boring, have we no pride left or has the bloody country really give up.

When the missus, sorry wife, took my bike out for the first time I was extremly worried because she had no knowledge whatsoever about the mechanical side of bikes. After about half an hour I rec'd a phone call from her mobile and she said that the bike had broken down. I thought F***ing hell what has she done? She said that the carburettor was flooded. I was very impressed and asked her how she knew that was the problem. To which she replied "because the bikes in the river"

do they or are they suposed to check the air filter ??? if so im going to have a right go at them as i noticed the dirt thing on my MT that tells you that the air filter needs changing was dirty so opend it up and ohh my god it was like mud wrestling championships had been held there there was even a dead bee wedged inbetween the foils i couldent belive it so i wacked a K&N in there for now (off my dads bike). for £180 i would have thorght they were suposed the check that i know they did oil and ail filter and breaks but not sure if they are suposed to do the air filter ohh and could the K&N damage the bike without been tuned due to the extra air?
