hey guys. me and my friend are planning a trip to nurburgring this september. but theres stil a few thigns we need to clear up. firstly, what are the regulations on protective clothing? can u wear anythign as long as it has protective armour in? i ask because were ridding the whole way and wed rather wear our textile two piece zip together stuff that all in one leathers in case it rains. second part is do they have anywhere to lock up gear. were hoping to camp so we would need lockers to put our gear in when were on the ring. either that or we stay at a b & b. thirdly, how strict are the tests before you go onto the ring? is it just a sound check or is it more seve…

I don't know whether it's considered appropriate to post here but I just wanted to add my condolences to the Jones family following Craig's death this morning, as a result of his horrific accident at Brands Hatch yesterday. He was such a promising WSB prospect but we have lost yet another bright, shining talent. Rest in peace, Craig.

Hello all, Just was interested in advise really, Im 31, been driving for 14 years, and have decided its about time I got my arse into gear and get my CBT out the way then maybe full bike license in a 6months. I love the open air, and im thinking Biking could possibly pull me away abit from my passion in cars. Now ive taken a big interest in the Yamaha YBR 125, and mainly id like to use it for pottering about, getting into town etc, but also will do a few journeys on nice days on the country lane twisties. For anyone that owns one of these or maybe 125 in general, how does a 125 fair up as an all round Bike? I know its not fast at all, but im more at the moment…

So I got a new engine to fix up and I need help ID-ing it. The only badges are Yamaha and YICS Can anyone help me out in identifying this and help with links to parts and/or manuals? Thank you
