Went out for a blast on Saturday....Devils Bridge thread... :roll: anyway, got to Hawes and parked up in a "car" park...out of the 10 bikes we probably took up 3 spaces...which isnt bad...anyway two other guys parked next to our bikes (not in our group btw) and this tossa in a car says "can you move those bikes i want to get out?"...sorry m8 but they arent with our group....."i dont give a shit just move those bikes they're blocking the road"...by this time i'd lost my normally "cool" exterior...just shut the F**k up and get back in ya car you tossa, then the cheeky bast*rd turned around and said "people like you make me sick, you think you own the roads".. didnt…

.....to my new Yam! 8) The Divvy is no more....it's been replaced by an XT 600. Here's the deails: 2003....11 months old, so 13 months Yamaha warranty remaining. 1,600 miles. Predator stainless steel road legal complete system. Excellent nick....just needs a real good polish. Cost? I had to pay £1K on top of the Divvy....but bearing in mind that the Divvy only stood me £1700, then the XT effectively cost £2700. Which isn't bad for what is basically a new bike. Rode it the 90 miles home from the dealers, and first impressions are that it's the easiest bike to ride that I've ever been on. Not a great deal of power, but on the country roads in Mid…

i know its honda to start with lol, but i just got offerd an 88 one darn cheap. i went on the bike of the bike today and it doesnt half fly and sounds the dogs bollocks. i checked me insureance and it will cost me less to insure this than a 125 (with about £400 diffrence (which will probly pay for my test) so i am really thinking of having it. anyone ever ridden one or know much of them?

If you want a shaft drive bike today, there's hardly any choice at all....apart from a load of ugly Beemers! FJR or Pan....that's basically it (don't mention the Wing or the Dullville) since the demise of the Divvy 9/GT750. 30 years ago I thought just about everything would have gone to shaft by now. I know it's extra weight etc...but it's just so easy and clean, and no large bills for sprockets and chains. I reckon shaft drive is very underated, and tbh it's probably unfashionable, but I'd never want to go back to a bike with a chain. What about you lot....any experience of Shaft Drives?

We all spend ages cleaning our pride and joy so it looks great when we go for a raz on the twisties . Only trouble is that when we get back it's covered in dust, dead flies, mud and all sorts of crap! When all the hard work is done, and she's gleaming like a good un, spray WD40 on almost everything, then polish it up with an old cloth!! Might sound backward but it acheives several things; 1 - you'll be surprised just how much more crap comes off! 2 - it lubricates all those bits you couldn't reach or forgot! 3 - it repels water so keeps the electics happy and rust at bay. 4 - it leaves a thin protective film, so when you get back and have to clean …

what a day!! just had a great ride on the xj, bikes everywhere 8) anyone else out today?

Off out to Devils Bridge this saturday..with all the rest of the northern monkeys 8) should be a blast :wink: Bazza

if you could pick the very best bike for- touring sports commuting off road what would they all be?. the ultimate bikes for each task. to make it more interesting, each bike must be obtainable for a grand(£1000)

I managed to get out for a few hours, did a tour of the lakes, and then on to Devils Bridge. Chucking it down at Devils Bridge, but glorious sunshine in the lakes. Lake district.....best place to ride a bike......here are a few pics.

Oh SHIT was out today at lunch time and my chain came off the rear sprocket.... BANG...... it wrapped itself round the front sprocket and it has broken a bit of my engine casing where the clutch arm goes in to gear box.... there thats little bit of casting rite above the sprocket.... it gone, ive been up and down the road trying to find it but no such luck.... Any ideas on what to do? Thanks

I am the proud owner of a 2003 R6 in Silver and Matt Black. It has been brought to my attention that the standard pipe is shite, therefore I need to look at an alternative. I was hoping for some suggestions from the Yam Club members who have taken the same advice and changed their's. I only want an end can not a full system. What do ya think is best for the 2003 R6?

when out on the bike today i spotted a stunning blue r1, with BLUE tyres on it :shock: what are your thoughts on these? bit tacky i thought. made a class bike look cheap. if anyone has them then no offence :oops:

Hi there. I will be racing at the event and the club needs a hand with marshals. If anyone is interested in being a Marshal for the weekend they will be payed and I will also get a credit note! £10 a day for the marshal + a £10 bonus if they do both days. and I will get £20 credit note each day for each marshal. Get 8 people and that will pay for my entrie! lol. :wink: Or just come along and watch. Mett a few people from the site.
