Me mate has just bought KTM 640 LC and he had it covered in this gold coloured waxy crap that evidently protects it through the winter, any of you lot know what it is an where i can get some, cos the shop he got the bike at, M&S up westgate road in Newcastle, would'nt tell him what it is. Lasts all winter then wash it off with a warm power washer in the spring. :?

Me, XT Alan,and Tym have set up a general (non brand-specific) dualsport forum for Big Trailie/Adventure Rider enthusiasts. It's a place where all DS enthusiasts can mix and exchange banter instead of being isolated in individual machine-based sites. Anyway, it's just launched today, so if you like Big Trailies then drop in. The url is: www.dual-sport.co.uk

:cry: its a sad world when one of our top comedians is slated for one of is jokes. :evil: political correctness :evil: is turning the world into dark times.these people got nothing better to do with their time,like billy would say if you don,nt like it just fuck off

A mate is filming this week for the Men and Motors Used Bike Heaven because someone dropped out last minute. Well the person for next Thursday and Friday has also dropped out so guess who's filling in. Yep it's me. :jump All I have to do now is decide which bikes I want to try out. Gosh life is full of decisions. :-k http://www.menandmotors.co.uk/whatson/prog...20Bike%20Heaven

Just for you.... It's not as quick as your R1 but the view makes up for that It's ma 104 rwhp RG500 - beats R6's and spits out the pips :twisted:

Following on from the "i'm going to be on TV" thread, which bikes would you like to try, no limits! except 3 yamahas and 3 a.n.others Mine would be- The Tesi type thing with the funny front end. One of the first TZ 700's to see if they really were scary. Any modern GP 250 to compare it with mine. Others - Honda Gold Wing, Can you get the panniers down? Britten V Twin, created by a genius, sadly gone. Late 60's 50cc GP bike with 12 gears and a 500rpm power band, how do you do a 80 mph lap of the IOM on that! OGR

.....former Yamaha pilot Shinya Nakano, for his podium finish yesterday aboard the Kwak, in front of his home crowd 8) I guess it's been decades since Kawasaki has seen a podium finish in the GP's :shock: I really like the exhaust note of this machine......typical Kwak Screamer 8)

Whilst browsing on the internet for bikes suitable for girls I came across this tip. It's the first technique I've seen for short and petite people that could actually work so I thought I'd share it with you as I'm probably not the only one to have struggled at some point.

as title, where is your favourite stretch of road, mines the A696 Hartside pass..top class route :twisted:

The new KTM SuperDuke "streetfighter" ad is getting a lot of buzz on the information super hi-way this week. The 990cc v-twin powered bike is presented by KTM in sort of a music video format with bike and rider doing almost a litany of indescribably illegal acts on the street to a Megadeath-style soundtrack (with multiple F-bombs, by the way) and with even, dare we say it, borderline homo-erotic images of two shirtless men rolling around on the ground "fighting". All with nary a sole professional rider on closed course, always wear a helmet, etc" boilerplate stuck on it. Viable question: Does KTM even have a lawyer? :twisted: :shock: http://www.990superduke.com/medi…

Those of you who go live2ride will have read this But have you been getting any? I've been getting sexually explicit, threatening and abusive and disturbingly bizare ones! If the culprit is reading this go to a doctor coz you need help! :twisted:

I've just found out that the new XTs are made for Yamaha in Europe by MBK, the well known :shock: scooter makers. No wonder the finish is so piss poor. Yamaha say thet "the finish is acceptable for this type of bike". To which I say "acceptable to whom?" Even a Suzy GS 500 has a better quality "feel"' It's a good job that I love the XT and that it goes really well, with the peeling graphics blowing in the wind . This is my first Yamaha however and I am of the opinion that this is the worst finished bike I have ever owned. It is a great performer, but every time I clean it I notice another blemish - annoying. Are all Yamahas this bad?

This is an invite to anyone who wants to post and have a laugh on a newish forum as well as here and live2ride. All welcome @ http://maximumbikes.com you will find that Unmutual and a few others already post on there.

Max Biaggi and Loris Capirossi have blamed each other for their first lap collision at Estoril on Sunday, which saw Biaggi crash out and Capirossi run off track. After making perhaps the best out of all of his 100 premier-class Grand Prix starts, Capirossi took the holeshot from eleventh on the grid only to be passed a few corners later by Valentino Rossi. As Capirossi was forced wide, Biaggi also tried to sneak through the gap forged by Rossi but had nowhere to go as Capirossi closed the door. Biaggi began his description of the incident in diplomatic fashion but later laid the blame squarely at the feet of the Ducati rider. "Obviously I’m disillusioned with …
