Just seen this on another forum...buyer beware! Last year I went to a bike jumble and thought it might be cool to fit a little light to the tirevalves that they were selling there. Big mistake,due to the centrifugal force the extra weight of the light/bulb snapped the front tirevalve and I ended up on the deck. Luckely I was not going too fast at the time and I did not suffer too much damage, the bike(GSX1100F) has mainly superficial damage to the fairing etc. So a little lesson learned the hard way. I am looking for some parts if there is anyone out there scrapping a GSX1100F(power screen model

can anyone tell me of a good paint to put on the exhaust. the one i use now is not much good.im looking for one with a shine,all the ones i have seen are matt.

Just picked up my new project yesterday - and yes it is a 50cc scooter!! :lol: Ok - it really is for my daughter who turns 16 later this year and has been itching to get on two wheels (and I don't mean a pushbike!) She has had a few sessions on the YB100 around the private culdesac where we live, and I would have liked to have got her a geared 50cc, but they are pretty hard to come by or really expensive (FS1E), and not something you would let your 16yr old take to school to have it trashed by the chavs! Since the pictures were taken yesterday afternoon I have had the bike running and started stripping off the plastic preparing it for a re-spray. My daughters …

Have a look at the band "machine gun fellatio' and their song ... "i am a mother fucka on a motorcycle" ... great tune ... bizarre. to be found on utube.

Hey does any one have a 3tj complete engine for sale? Or anything that will fit into it? I got conned with the bike =/ Theres no compression so gunna get new engine =]

hi everyone been tinkering with my Jawa over the holidays and finally got it running nicely, but it seems that it is blowing from the joint where the exhaust headers meet the expansion chambers, is there a way i can seal this up as no doubt this will have some effect on how the bike runs (lack of backpressure). took it for a spin around the estate and its got a lot of go to say the least!

Do the K&N filters for bikes get oiled like the automotive filters? I recently bought a bike that came with them. They were not installed before I bought the bike.

Has anyone else been getting problems accessing the site or with a strange pornographic PM? Despite there being about a hundred separate posts on the matter, I am not sure what's happening and I can't be bothered to read the board, so I thought I'd waste some bandwidth and ask the same question again..... FFS!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I hate to ask for money but just a little from a lot of people will make all the difference. I am doing the London to Brighton bike ride on 21st June for the British Heart Foundation, yes I am mad and i realise it would be so much easier on my motorbike, but never mind I am dusting off the push bike instead. If you would like to sponsor me you can do it here http://www.justgiving.com/vickyhiggins thanks

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone who has or has had a thundercat can help me with my headlight problem? Does anyone know of a way of making my headlights better. Dipped is ok but not brill whilst main beam is just awful-----like a big ring of light with nothing in the middle. does anyone know if you can modify or change the headlight to give a decent beam, any idea's welcome thanks big tim

Take care out there y'all

Is a compression gauge and a gauge used for syncing carbs the same gauge? Obviously the ends would be different, but I'm wondering about the gauge itself. I am asking because I do not have access to a set of gauges to sync my carbs, however, Harbor Freight near my house sells Compression gauges for like $5 each. If they are the same, I could just buy four of the comp gauges.

hey everyone, is it actually worth running an in-line filter between the petcock and carb seeing as most petcocks have filters on them anyway?

hi everyone. just shopping around for some Jawa tyres, i think im after a 90/90-18 for the rear and a 100/90-18 for the front. whats the best place to get cheap tyres?, the front is okay but its been stood in a shed for 7 years so i would rather replace it, the rear deffo needs replacing. cheapest rear tyre i found is a Cougar 126 from busters - £26 http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/produ...p;kw=90%2f90+18 cheapest fornt is a Michelin pilot sporty - £38 http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/produ...;kw=100%2f90+18. the jawa restoration is coming along slightly but due to being out of a job i am focusing more on the mechanical side of the pro…

dunno if it interests any of you, yesterday i got an oxford boss alarm from george white's in swindon for £29.99. Shop soiled box, but other than that half of the normal price even on ebay. Nice 14mm shackle and a decent alarm, which isnt going to flatten my bike battery. looks nice and beefy used with my kryptonite chain.

hey everyone, new to the site. Ive just ordered some R&G crash bungs, however on the site it says you need to drill a whole, , my mate says he can do it for me he works in a bike garage. is it a easy job, im scared for my new bike.

Ok I decided that now I'm on a 4 day week and since the weather is good to dig my bike out from all the stuff thats been thrown over it and my beloved DT. The ride was canal towpath from Dukinfield to Marple Bridge, Marple roman lakes, Brookbottom and onwards and upwards over Lantern Pike and home towards Glossop. I love it this time of year with all the stuff burstin with life after winter, this was the firs time I've ridden my bike for around a year and a half now so with some big big hills it was tough going, took some pics for you along the way too. This is my bike, its a Mongoose Teocali super for those of you who care And heres a shot on the towpath from m…

Okay so this weekend I decided I've had enough of my L plates so booked my theory test for next Weds and will then see what the situation is with the practical test. Gonna do the A2 test on my SR to save a bit of cash. It will work out the best for me as I'm planning on going travelling at the end of the year so don't have spare cash to do Direct Access (or buy a bigger bike for that matter) and the way I see it if 3/4 months of my 2 year restricted period will be used up when I'm travelling outside the UK then that's perfect, and I'll have something more practical than a CBT when I get back. So, firstly, does anyone have any tips for the theory and hazard perception t…
