    Just a quick update on the FJR, through the winter it's had a bit of a spruce up, new set of exhausts new set of S/S brake lines front and rear new S/S clutch line, rebuilt the front and rear brake calipers (new seals) plus brake pads, I bought a Rear wheel hugger for it as well, didn't need it but I thought it looked the dogs. Did a full service as well, Christ the price of filters is daft on these things, fitted a front headlight protector to it as well, I thought that it might save me £600 if it protects it from a friendly rock, bought a new Chinese radiator for it from good old ebay (£150) really quite astonished how good it is compared to the original OE part which c…

    Hi, I'm new to this and to bikes really. I have a 09 ybr 125 and drove it for a year. I lost the keys and left it parked up for a year ( I know stupid!) I had a mechanic pick it up to get a new set of keys and it turns out the clocks are smashed. The guy in the garage says its €600 for a new set of clocks and €150 for keys and another €150 for battery and service. I think this is a little excessive when the clocks are on eBay for €50. Is this guy taking me for a ride because I'm a noob at this (and a girl) or does this sound about right?? He wants to buy it off me for €250 as scrap. I just don't know. any info would be greatly appreciated

    Heya, Following a long episode of "needs must", I've been forced to get a 'licence to sit in traffic'. After a few months of being a Named on the Mrs's car and putting over 10k miles on the work van (that being the 'needs must' part), I'm now in the market for a cage. So I'm shopping around for inshoo-rance and they all ask how long I've had my licence... Do they mean when I got my 4-wheel category, or just in general? I'd have thought the former, but since I have an accident to declare that occurred *before* I got the B-Cat, I'm wondering if it's actually the latter? Some ask if I have use of another car, while others actually a…
