Just wondering what's the worse bike accident you guys have had? :?

On Friday I was in full XT adventurer "man of the hills" mode. I took the remote single track road from Talybont to the Nantymoch Reservoire. Have a look at your maps it is in Ceredigion, Mid Wales. This road climbs from sea level to well over 1000 feet in 5 miles, with sheer drops and blind hairpins. So, there I am thinking, what a road and what a perfect bike I had for this road. At this point I catch up a ............Gold Wing TRIKE!!!! Fully dressed with all the fairy lights. He let me through with a wave. I waited at the top of the pass. He pulled over and stopped. He and his wife were in their 70s and they were on the Round Britain Rally. Real Bikers Respect :sh…

Just because you're my Dad & you bought & work on my bike......doesn't mean you get to take credit for it :roll: .........because, after all, you said it yourself........It's My Bike!!! :evil:

Why don't we find out just how many Forum Members, are truly dedicated to this sport :?: 1st Misc. Trivia question: In the movie "The Great Escape" starring Steve McQueen, Who actually did the famous fence jump & on What make of bike :?:

on holiday from the 15th august........i am going to take my bike and hopfully going up to scotland! maybe wales! not decided! What preperation should i make for my bike...i know this sound a really stupid question but hey im a girl im going on me own and ive never done this before...obviously i will get it seviced before i go but i was cosidering having a scott oiler fitted what do u guys think!

Just got my road tax bill, 117 euro's, i thought, bugger, thats expensive! But when i think back to what i had to pay to keep my bikes on the road in the uk, it seems cheap. Road tax for a litre bike 117 euro's (75 quid) Insurance (3rd party) 237 euro's (160 quid) MOT....it doesnt exist here for bikes! 235 quid to keep a litre bike on the road for a year doesnt seem so bad after all! How do your costs compare?

This is fucking great! Bloke buys a brand new Kwak cruiser for £8500 and it's RUSTY when he first takes delivery of it. Long term dispute goes on, resulting in a 4 hour siege at the bike shop in Exeter with Police Negotiators called in! Read this, it's great stuff: http://www.thisisexeter.co.uk/displayNode....tentPK=10549199 8) 8) 8)

Without the risk of sounding prejudice :shock: .......I can't say I can ever recall seeing a Black guy ride like this guy can 8) :wink: ........ James "Bubba" Stewart @ most outdoor circuits, is every bit as fast on his KX125, as Ricky Carmicheal is on his CR250 :shock: I got to see him race last year @ the Washougal National.....his lap times were right in there with RC's :wink: He'll be moving up to the 250 class next year.....hope he signs with Yamaha 8)

Please someone help me. My boyriend and i are borrowing a friends R6 for 2 weeks, i've just gone out on it and i hate it. My bum moves around on the seat, the positions awful (i cant see anything as i cant lift my head up) and when braking my bum comes off the seat and i feel like i'm going over the top (oh and if we go over a bump while braking my feet fall off the pegs). I've always wanted a bike like this but now I hate it. Am i doing something wrong? Does anyone have any advice? :cry:

As Alex is away now, he is unable to manually update the portal as he was doing. So he disabled it and redirected all traffic straight to the forum. But new members expect to see a portal with some content. They may not actually use it, but it acts like a shop window for the site. The redirect for yamahaclub.com now diverts everybody to the portal first. From there, people can select Forums, Gallery, Registration etc. we've also got 9 live newsfeeds from bike sites being piped in there, and they auto-update every 30 mins. So I have absolutely nothing to do to it to keep it running....which is nice. Oh and a new logo too. Hope you like all the stuff. Just click …

Hey all you two stroke fans (( 2 Strokes Rule )). What do you do? Do you trust the oil pump or just mix it in with the petrol? I myself use a pre-mix for the off-roader and i trust the oil pump for the roadie!!! What about you people??

It's that time of year again for me to go out and spend some of my hard earned cash making sure my Divvi is safe from the White Vans :shock: and grubby little urchins :evil: on study leave again. Trouble is I just got a renewal quote from Carol Nash and it's gone up....ok no surprise there i guess, but i now have more no claims and it rose over 37% ( yes i am a sad stat man ). After i phoned them they told me it was so cheap last time round because I got a "joining discount" but there was no such thing as a loyalty discount. Is it just me or does that blow bigger chunks than my divvi at the moment?? Any ideas on another cheap place to get insurance......I need c…
