why is it that some motorists have no cosideration for motorbike riders ........... this has been playin on my mind for ages so i thought i would voice it ?

hi folks got myself a new project last night, a honda vf750f, she is running and all there. it needs a full new exhaust, fork seals and maybe a tank. the headers are totally rotten so i will make new ones unless i find some cheap, the tank is in good shape with no dents but it was leaking at some time and has been patched (but i dont no how well) apart from that everything is there and all the lights are working, pretty good shape for a 25 year old bike.

Just been quoted £470 for a new starter motor on my Y reg 1100 Dragstar way beyond my comfort zone!!! anyone know of a cheaper replacement option or a reputable place for reconditioning the old one? I live in the Southampton area Cheers

1. XS250 2. XZ550 3. XV750SE (altough for some reason I like them) 4. TR1 5. BT1100 (If only it was as good as it looked) Food for thought, not open warfare lol!

Hi, I'm new to the club. Not sure if people are looking for any complete bikes in particular. There's still some 8os bikes languishing in these parts. Let me know. Any interest in a complete xs850 special, import, I think. Looks totally original (black), except for 3:1 motad. Scruffy but all there. Would've thought cheap. Wook. T500 Honda?

We did everything possible to do a safe ride and even with that things can go wrong. We even did a safty briefing in the end I was very thankful for that cause no one ran over my wife or I. The Culprit amazing that the owners cared for their dog so much that they bought it sweater to protect it from the cold. But, not enough to keep it off a busy highway I had always been told if your going to hit a dog hit him straight on, I remember thinking that as I saw there way no way I was going to avoid it. So I was doing all that I could to do just that. One of those times no where to go for me or the dog. Oncoming traffic coming now that would have hurt. Dog g…

Bikes in Bus Lanes victory for common sense From today (5th January) motorcycles have been granted access to main route bus lanes in London. The adoption of this policy allows riders to see and be seen by other road users, as well as helping motorcycles to improve on their already excellent congestion-busting advantages. The initiative was an election promise by London Mayor Boris Johnson and comes more than ten years after bikes were first allowed to use bus lanes in the city of Bristol following a successful campaign by local MAG members. MAG General Secretary, Nich Brown said today “the adoption of this policy in the capital city has been a long time coming but its…
