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…

Just been and picked up my new bike - fuck me it was freezing! Thed ealer is around 30 miles from me so had to ride Elvira there and my new one back lol. The bike is gorgeous! Its light, responsive and more comfortable than anything i've ever ridden before. The seat felt quite hard on the ass when i first got on it, but after a mile or so it was REALLY comfy. I cant get over just how light the front end feels - the 650 felt like a ton weight at times, but i feel like i have so much more control over this one. Looks wise - well IMO its a thing of beauty - Yamaha have completely revamped it, and it males the other bikes in the Star range look dated. The arse end is much…

Hey every one hope your well. was just reading through aprils edition of Bike motorcycle magazine and looking through the awsome spec on the new yzf-r1 and would like some one to explain it in simple terms for me just so i can get my head around it! another thing that is pretty cool is that 1 fork leg is for rebound (right) and the other for compression damping (left)

Hi everyone. whats the best way to re-cover a seat?, the one on my Jawa needs doing as it is ripped and looking a bit sh*gged out. rather than sending it off and getting it done id prefer to do it myself, anyone know any good walkthroughs/tips for recovering seats?

Hi everyone. ive noticed that when passing other bikers they will nod or tilt their head to the side, kind of like the frenchies' "waving of the leg" greeting. just a casual observation... thought i would point it out, is this a nationally recognised greeting or just unique to a select few bikers?
