But now is the right time for another dog and so we are getting ready for Marvin's arrival....i cant wait!

Hello all. I have a 83 yammy dt125 lc with some wiring issues that i cant seem to solve. When i indicate the main lights front and back slightly blink with the indicators.

Does anyone have any idea what would cause this. A bit of history of the bike..... When i bought it the idicators were not connected. The flasher relay is new as the old was faulty. The left han…

We are finally in a position to announce that Unity rides again. This year Unity Ride promises to be the biggest charity motorcycle ride ever undertaken through the Capital. 15 members of the Metropolitan Police and 2 Paramedics will be assisted by 55 trained Unity Support Riders (USRs) to make sure this year’s event will also be the safest. Every year we give bikers a day out in London where the freedom of the city is ours, the Motorbike is king and we can enjoy the sights from a totally different perspective. No filtering through traffic and no stopping at all just a cruise with a 1000 or so other bikes enjoying Summer time in the Capital. The ride will take…

The bike is secured in an alarmed shed, with a XENA alarm disc lock and a Mammoth Sold Secure Lock And Chain... The alarm from the shed seemed to do its job and the f**ker ran away, just wondering, if anyone here has any advice on making sure my bike stays put?! Thanks, Tom
