X7 at 17, XS750 2D at 19, XJ900F at 45. (And literally dozens of bikes inbetween.) My Pride & Joy is my Laverda 1200 Mirage but my recently acquired XJ900F is fantastic. (I will be seeking much info over the coming months/years, all XJ900F input will be welcome. )

Hi just wondered if there are any other peeps on here that are Blue Knight Ride with Pride. Scotland 1

After a few of you recommend this book to me i got it 9 quid from amazon. I thought i knew very little about a biking, only being on the road 11month, after reading 78 pages of this book i now think i knew nothing. Cant recommend it enough. Cheers who told me about it in the first place (cant mine who, sorry) Regards Kev.

I am looking for restoration parts for the 1975/77 YZ, especially tank decals.

Hi all, Just found this site and thought I would join, why? 'cause I've owned a 1981 XJ650 since the late 1980's. so long ago I can't remember exact date. Used to use it for work but now its pleaseure use only and i am currently giving it a good tidy up. Currently considering if to powder coat the frame and have the tank etc resprayed...not sure will probably cost more than it's worth LOL Have visited Poole Quay on Tuesday nights last year and hope to again later this year (next month?) otherwise I have to use the Bonnie Any members of the VJMC on here ? see you soon

Had plans made all last week to tend to some overdue chores around home......but like usual.....the Ol' Lady changed everything @ the last moment.....& was NOT happy with me when I told her I was staying home from a trip to the beach that she expected every1 to comply to. Finally got the nagging brake issue with my YamaHauler sorted ......now I can start planning a retrieval trip to collect a 370 Bultaco Frontera for restoration. After pulling a bit of maintenance on the XT.....just couldn't resist taking advantage of the killer weather we've been bestowed with lately..... Nice views of 'Hood along the Clackamas...... on the way to....…

in need of front headlight surround, in desperate need to sell this bike

Why did i have to do a U-turn in my test.....? My Tcat could not do one on the freeways of LA. I know this is the same for most sporty bikes but would them riser/straight bars they have on streetfighters give me a smaller circle? I was thinking about getting them for comfort anyway. Can you fit em? Easy job? I welcome the knowledge.

For the last several months, I occasionally get a tingling sensation in my right ring fingertip when riding. it's sort of like a static shock one gets after scuffing along on the carpet and touching the icebox. the tingle is momentary, a few little tingles and its gone for a few miles. then it happens again. my gloves are leather, unbroken. and i have tried another pair. there is no way for wayward spark current to be jumping to my fingertip as im holding the rubber grips. besides, wayward spark current would hurt a bit more. either way, it dosent make sense, it wouldnt jump from my glove to my finger.... it would most likely find its way to my calf (which touches …

Anyone know where i can get a decent set of RD350/250LC forks? been looking on ebay but wondered if there was any other place i should try looking,

Well I've been with Direct Choice for over 5 years now and just received my renewal...£82...not bad some would say, but considering I paid £68 last year I was a bit peed off, so I tried their website and got a quote of £72, better! so I rang and they wouldn't match their own deal. Now I was getting rather peed at this as I also have my car insurance with them....So...done a few searches and got it for £56.77 tpft on a 1994 YZF750r...not bad for 15 years no claims (touching wood).. Just Motorcycle Insurance from Carole Nash....not sure if anyone else has used them....any experiences?

Almost had a clean sheet but relaxed a bit when I realised we were close to the test center and picked up a minor for signalling Bike shopping this weekend!
