these are bloody nice, very good price too..... what do you lot think of them? 8)

Hi as a mew member feel a bit cheeky to already ask for assistance in finding a part for my bike. I have a TDM 850 that i use at the weekends and the timing is out. I have a feeling it is the Ignitor Unit that needs replacing but for £400 that i have been quated they can get stuffed. Of any of you know where i can get a cheap one i would be very grateful. Cheers john

As I mentioned in another thread yesterday, I rode out to the Forest of Dean to meet up with friends from the Welsh Sports and Tourers Club. Me and the wife got there about 1.30, but no sign of them. Stayed for a while, then rode home via Hereford. So when I got back home I found out that there'd been a serious accident amongst the group while making their way there. Unfortunately I found out today that the rider concerned (Andrew) was killed on a bend while riding his Hayabusa. I hadn't met him yet as he'd only recently joined the club, but you still feel the pain when you lose one of us. Sympathies to Andrew's family, and any condolence messages posted here wil…

ive booked a track tuition with one 2 one instuction using there bikes and there gear only thing is its with suz***i....... I needed to do this cause im having real trouble with some corners....most im ok on its just occanionally i freek.....so what do i do book a track tuition.....advice needed how do i get the most from this day

Me and the wife went from Llandrindod to Mallards Pike Lake in the Forest of Dean. Planned to meet up with a few guys from the Cardiff area there, but ended up stopping at Black Mountain Yamaha on the way down and got caught up watching the first Superbike race cos Haga was on song. So I ended up missing them. Heading back towards Monmouth we came across about 150 bikes coming the other way with a Police escort. Amazing sight....reminiscent of the 70's Golden Era! Went back home via Hereford, so a nice 150 mile trip....and the XT is really beginning to loosen up now. 900 miles in less than a month. So where did you lot go?

the diaphrams in my xj carbs were a bit worse for wear so i picked up a set of carbs on ebay for £17 hoping they'd have a usable set in. lucky me, they are all nearly new ebay can be good sometimes 8) i now also have a full spare set of carbs :wink: oh and a full spare throttle cable

Apparently they are having to recall 8200 motorcycles sold this year, cos the speedos are under-reading by 25%. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...honda_recall_dc Fair play to Honda for the recall though.....cos we know one manufacturer that would try to worm it's way out of it, don't we? 8)

recently my DTs gears have been making funny noises, the big crash that i told you about before and now just the odd clunk into 1st and second... bit odd, its beginning to sound like an old bike....its only got 10 k on clock and 2002... any ideas lads? wasted clutch maybe i dont really know...

Ok, here we go!, my mate said yesterday I should change my oil, yes I said!, now (and this is his idea!). He reckons oil is oil, he gets his from the motor factors £8 for 5 ltrs semi synth. He reckons the stuff you you get out the factors (eg Comma ect) when it says 10/40 ect or semi/fully ect is the same quality as shell ect out the bike shops. I kinda agreed because I didnt know, but quietly I'm saying "dont talk shite!", is he right/wrong?. Personaly I'd rather put Shell, Castrol ect in it, whats the verdict on this?

Are there on here then, c'mon own up!!!

I was looking at your bike and other's who have the yzf 750, and Iv'e came to the conclusion that mine has definately been "raised" at the seat rails. maybe not by much but it has raised, cause where the welds are that come out from the frame, the angle at the frame is about 25 degrees then goes to about 30. I thought the back end look kinda high, I'll need to same pics sent in of this thing, well then again just imagine a 94' yzf 750 without a fairing in black (all black, apart from the tuning forks symbal on the tank) a slightly raised back end small twin h/lights and your there!, oh, and blue wheels :?

Fitting a 1ltr exup engine or (if it would work) fitting a 1ltr block and head onto the yzf750 bottom, again if would work.

My wife saw one on the road today in Chippenham. Taylor Racing our local dealer had one out on trade plates today. One chap here had been advertising that the one he has on order will be on ebay. I will see if they take it to Avebury Biker night tomorrow

Hey the sun's oot (well just now anyway), might be a good day who know's, oh well me think me will go and the bike out to play, see ya all later :wink:

Iv'e just Iv'e went from a Newbie to wrist jockey to Tyre hazer , I wonder how long before I'm a "rossy" (or the equivilent) on here!

Can you get this!!!, I saw this on ebay :?

To do to a 94' yzf750, I think it's fekn brill, where would I get these under tray pipe's and how much could I expect to pay. And how easy/hard is it to graft an R1 seat unit on.

what mags do you buy? not scud, bongo, or raz mags i mean bike ones (so no 50 plus and readers wives pete ) i buy motorcycle mechanics, BIKE and sometimes mcn. mechanics is prob my fav outta them 8)

Is there one planned for sometime next week, or the week after?, I was talking a mate today who said there was, cause he said "have you filled your tank's yet (car n bike), anyone know anything?
