Went for a ride today and stopped for a quick cup of tea, as it happened I met a mate of mine and we got talking to this lovely old lady of 84, turns out she was a biker chick way back in the 50's. I then spent the next hour or so talking to her. She was a district nurse most of her working life and did most of her rounds on various 250's turning up at patients houses in bike leathers. She told me that although she had known her husband for 60 years she wouldn't marry him until he learnt how to ride, she finally agreed to marry him after he took her to the I O M TT and he started riding himself 40 years ago. Sadly she had to give up riding after a parachuting accident wh…

Went for a short ride this evening to my local bike haunt and saw this amazing 1920 AJS, the owner has 12 vintage bikes and plans to get them all on the road, he believes bikes should be ridden not just for show. He bought it as a runner but it hadn't been on the road for years and took him several months to make it road worthy and today was his first test run. He has even got the gas lights fully working so that he can ride at night. Its a bit differen from my V twin

Hello, I've recently started a rebuild project of a 1978 Yamaha xs500 and I'm powdercoating most of it. However the rear wheel has four wheel studs in it and they seem to have rubber in them. Does anyone know if they are capable of coming out in order to be powder coated?

As some will know I recently bought an XJ6 (loving it). I have noticed a few times, especially going around roundabouts the the front wheel seems to slip just a fraction then bites again. It's a little disconcerting! Tyre pressure is as per manual. I checked tyre and I can feel a flat spot in one area of front wheel just off centre. I did some research and it seems to be called cupping. Cause could be previous owners riding habits / my riding habits / alignment. I'm pretty sure it's not alignment. Any advice on how to best handle this? Should I replace the tyres? (They have loads of tread left - look almost new actually). Is there any option to re grade the sur…

I recently purchased a 1996 Yamaha Royal Star 1300. I am in the process of changing some of the items on the bike. Right now my bike has the stock seats on it. I have the chance to buy a Mustang seat, front and rear with back support and sissy bar for a very reasonable price. Right now they are on a 2005 Yamaha V Star 1100,could you let me know if they are compatible and will fit on my bike. Thank you in advance

Hi, I bet that majority of us have some experience with accident claims, unfortunately. Mine is coming to an end, and I was being advised to open a personal injury trust to save my awarded sum into, if I am to protect my right to ever claim state benefits in the near or far future. I've never claimed benefits in my life, but one never knows what the future entails. My question is simple: are there any 'better than others' personal injury trust accounts? I cannot see any difference from one company to another so I wonder if there's anyone out there with more info. Thanks in advance!

got the day off today, but I should have stayed in bed.... car wouldn't start, so had to trouble shoot and worked out it was the leak off pipes, so £35 lighter, fitted them and then the battery was drained so had to buy a battery charger £29. So whilst that's charging, I did a bit more on the fz engine, the ratchet spanner I was using slipped upwards and got wedged between nut and engine, i could ratchet it but not get it back over the nut. so I've just left it for now,too hot and bothered and will have to grind the spanner in half to get it off (lovely spanner too) at least the car started and ran ok after a lengthy charge, but what a waste of a day

Sounds weird, but I am having issues with not being able to a) order membership (may have been taken down) or b ) see some parts of the forum as it just errors. Now working within IT myself, the store looks to try an auto link to a paypal account, but no payment selection options are populated (possible issue with the store settings on the sites cPanel), and the other pages that don't show correctly are either dead end pages or orphaned links. Anyone else having these issues (BTW, already send Alex a message, but he hasn't read/responded yet)
