what a cnut, he got off lightly. That woman was irritating, think she was trying to "calm things down" when he should be kicking shit out of him http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4370542/Kent-biker-tackles-thief-cyclist-steals-keys.html#v-1225206915984831020

Hi all, I know I haven't been on here in a while "sorry about that" Basically I took my 04 dragstar in for a new clutch and ever since then it has had problems. Mainly if I take it out and ride it literally a few miles it becomes harder to change gear and if I pull up it won't go into neutral until late it's cooled down. I know people will say take it back to the garage " done that at least 8 times" my problem is they won't give a refund and say just bring it back we'll have another look, even though it seems obviously they don't no what they're doing. Any help would be great as I've lost all faith and enjoyment from my ride thanks to these clowns. Ps I'm in …

So, decided to get my frame powder coated but now can't see the frame numbers, I don't want to stamp it myself incase of issues later on, also it may not pass an MOT or may raise PC Plod's eyebrows if I get pulled, I have the V5 registered in my name and did take a photo of the frame numbers before powder coating, any advise please?

hello guys I've just purchased a 2nd hand yamaha xt125x. I'm totally in love with it ! mechanically it's brilliant throughout. but it looks a bit tatty for a 7 year old bike.

One of my regular jobs is servicing my brother bike, today I noticed an odd problem, it's a CBR125 (liquid cooled), and I realized I've never heard the radiator fan click on, so I started the bike and left it running to see if the fan would click on, not only did it not click on, but after a little while it started to idle oddly and when you revved it it would hang at 4K. I'm just gonna start measuring voltages and resistances in sensors and cleaning/normal checks. But does anyone know of any specific issues that can cause this? (Not CBR125 specifically, just in general with all bikes) (By the way, it's fuel injected, no carb, fucking EFI, pain in the ass on sma…

Hi all, Sorry for the delay in getting this fixed. MediaTemple had a server outage which corrupted one of our database tables which took longer than expected to fix. All is back up and running fine now, thanks for your patience.

Hi guys. Does anyone know where I can get decals made up for a 1994 yzf750r. The bike is original for the purple/ blue set. Many thanks.

Hi all , new member ,have a 2015 ybr 125 with what appears to be an unusual problem . It's a one owner UK bike , servicing matches mileage all appears ok. The speedo is marked in mph and appears to be displaying same correctly , however the oddmeter and trip are both showing what appears to be kilometers ? Took it for a ride with a mate whose clock showed 15 .3 miles the ybr showed 24.9 which is what it would be in km , anyone experience a similar problem ? Thanks

I am soon going to be in the hunt for a vmax. I have always wanted a HD Vrod as I like the muscle bike look but accidentally came across the vmax (what a beast) and I'm now hooked on the vmax. I will probably have around 4-4.5k (£) to spend. Can anyone give me some info on the vmax: 1. best year (for the money I have to spend and years / models to avoid 2. why not to have the non full power model. What's wrong with the other 3. Pros cons 4. Common problems to look for I know I've thrown a lot of questions but any help and advice is welcomed Cheers Daz

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that I'm back in the fold... Picking up a bike this Friday so will officially be back on 2 wheels. Oh how I've missed it. Currently down in Surrey but hopefully I'll get a chance to meet up with the usual offenders at some point this year at Oil Can Cafe or Squires or wherever...! Hope everyone is keeping well.

Never heard of one till someone gave me one to "repair" Its a german made guitar and the firm went bump in 1970 something From what I can gather its an archtop model with a single pickup. Its been well played as the fretboard has worn little grooves in it from the strings twanging. Anyhow i've order flat wound chrome strings and repaired the pickup wiring. Any one know what model it is, I've no sticker in there and have emailed the Framus museum the picture to see if they know what it is.
