As part of the doing away with the paper licences you can now check your driving icence details online you will need your national insurance number , if you dont know your driving licence number you can get away without that , it tells you exactly what you can drive and how many points you may have https://www.viewdrivingrecord.service.gov.uk/driving-record/licence-number

http://www.velodaily.com/this-is-truly-shocking-i-thought-i-knew-this-but-not-well-enough/2/ Ok, I'm sure most people here will think this obvious but if it only reminds one person then it's worth sticking it up!

not that, you dirty minded folk. good and quite effective, try it http://sortieenmer.com/?lang=en

anybody here got a shed? - to me they go with motorbikes, the same sense of escape into your own little world this in my shed complex (below)

a man in a tweed jacket has been slapping pensioners round the back of the head if he caught them sneezing in public http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/man-arrested-for-allegedly-slapping-pensioners-who-sneezed-in-carlisle-city-centre-10139611.html i hope i don't end up engaging/indulging in this sort of thing

Just a quick question folks, on the FJ I have the standard centre stand it's ok but you really have to haul the bike up and over the tipping point to get it on the stand, now I have a back injury which means that it hurts when I try to lift the thing, I can do it but it's uncomfortable, so my query is, can I chop a lump out of the uprights to bring the tipping point lower down, so that I can more or less roll the bike onto the stand rather than lift it on. There are 2 ways I'm thinking of doing it, one is to chop out the centre of the stand by about an inch then re-weld the 2 halves together, two is to chop the foot part off and then weld 2 new plates onto the stand feet,…

Just to say that I took the FJ in for it's MOT today and it sailed through (sorry Foams) so I'm now ready to take to the roads again, really looking forward to this year as it's the first time the bike will be without any faults that need fettling. Got the new Oil filter conversion on it which is great as I now don't have to take half the bike apart to get a new filter on and the carbs are properly balanced new tyres make a real difference even tho SWMBO had a fit when I told her what they cost. Happy days.

So, a new bike brings new fun things. Like a parking light. That can be left on all day. And drain the battery. *sigh*

Hi, I've heard that trimming some of the reed valve block on DT125X helps flow & with new carbon reed valves too. Has any members done or heard of this trick? Thanks

Just bought these from ebay usual price is £85 to £99 for the grand price of £25, bar risers for the FJ.

Hi (hopefully I'm posting in right section) I'm trying to find a tail tidy that has built in indicators for my xt. I did find one a few weeks ago but can no longer find it. Looking for this as NY current rear indicators are broken anyway so want to replace the whole lot so indicators are built into the rear light as external ones always seem to brake off. Thanks for any help. Ash.

Been looking for a large four stroker long time now with my eye more on Hondas..but now this has come up for around 450pounds. Would like something older with a kickstart but at this price I think this is a steal. Here we go again..everything ran fine then the bike was parked for 15yrs so a carb clean on the cards. But will internals (crank) be ok? Having a look tomorrow. Seller is a friend of a friend so think I can trust the history and the guys wife wants the bike gone. Opinions on this bike???

i know that cars pulling out in front is a common thing i find it quite infuriating when it is evidently pushing in it's rude, saying that 'i'm bigger and more important' anyway, the reason i'm writing this is because that it seems to be getting to be a regular event - mostly it around 4pm as people begin to leave for home; before that, during the day it is less of an issue. my own theory is that people in work are increasingly more stressed, impartient, prepared to take short cuts just thought i'd say something, trouble is poor road behaviour upsets my own balance and i find after a couple or three instances that my ri…

Hey folks. My band is Zico Chain, im the drummer. We have released 4 records and toured Europe and UK for about 10 years, in 2013 we opened for Iron Maiden at the o2 arena, enough about that. A few years back we printed and sold a few thousand hoodies with a design on the back similar to a biker patch, influenced heavily by the Sons of Anarchy show. (see pictures). Aswel as the hoodies, it was printed on my kick drum head, and even had drum cases designed with it printed on. I have heard over the years that it was riskey and would upset bikers. Ive met a biker gang in Nerembourg Germany who were initially a bit miffed until we explained we were only a band it …

Close please

Hope to get some sound advice on this one. Im looking to buy some leathers, reckoning that 2 piece are more practical for my needs, which are commuting/rideouts/occasional trackdays I dont want to look like bertie basset, the speed hump on the back is not reqd, plain black would be fine Been looking at these, do ya reckon these would be acceptable for the above needs? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Razor-Leather-2-pcs-Suit-Armoured-Motorcycle-1-3M-Jacket-Trousers-Gloves-/281160028509?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item417671915d
