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…

This isn't the same colour of site I was lookin' at yesterday, it's not grey now!

A new web page layout, everything in dark grey!! :?

If it stays dry I think we'll venture North, possibly up to Llangollen and Bala. What about you lot?

Following on from "What makes a real Biker". It would be fun to read of the bikes people lusted after, but never got to own at various points in their biking life. A few of mine in no particular order are: Honda 305 (late 60s), 750 Four Yamaha 80 (when I was 15), 750 triple (shaft drive) and first XJs Suzuki GS1000 and Katanas Triumph Trident (1970s) Kawasaki ZX10 Norton Commando 750 fastback The reason for not getting any of these was age or money. I have never wanted a BMW, Harley, Ducati although the Benellis in the 60s and early 70s looked the part.

Do You think its Bad? I always Thought that it was good for gettin tthe old 2 Stroke off-roader going on the cold Monday morning! Your thoughts Please!!

to clean your visor? I heard on the trade grapevine today that Arai japan are taking Autoglym to court over their Helmet and visor cleaner. Apparently it is petrochemical based and is causing the plastic to crumble and fail. It does not affect the fibre shell (arai only use fibre) but it "causing them great concern" and can prove their claims. If Arai think this is happening to the plastic on their lids makes you wonder what it's doing to some of the polycarb ones does't it! :?:

Hi Folks, Has anyone used Ultra Seal in their tyres? If you have, does it work? I have discovered that although the XT uses tubes, the rims are tubeless types and to change a tyre needs a bead breaker. So fixing punctures/replacing tubes is not as straightforward as it might be. Alan
