Driving home on Tuesday my last day at work until January, and it was daylight, my lights on, wearing my big hivis work jacket on top of my leathers, so I was visible, coming round the round about, this guy pulls in front of me, I had to slam on my breaks, bike goes sliding from under me as it was icy, and the guy starts speeding off before I got a chance to even see his reg plate, and not one person pulled over to see if I was okay, luckily the only problem was a snapped break lever, broken mirror and a blown fuse and shattered reg plate, and I walked away with bruising down my hip, legs and shoulder and ribs but it could've been worse, if I had caused someone to come of…

Anyone up to anything different for Christmas? What's on your wish list? I am finishing work on 19th December and not going back until 5th January. If I am on the "nice" list I am looking to see if Santa brings me some guitar stuff. Order of organic meats done - to be collected 6am on 24th. Decorations up today (hopefully). Just a couple of bits left to buy. Christmas eve lunch booked overlooking the river and narrow boat moorings. Whats everyone else up to?

Where can I find two of these bolts, (at the very top of the top tube), at a reasonable price ? What is the size and thread ? Thanks, larsgra.

Ok just a query, did anyone know about the paper drivers licence being scrapped? Just read this in one of Drewpys posts, (actually I wandered through the site and found this by accident,) and thought you all might like to know about it. Do you know where the paper part of your driving licence is? Well, soon it won’t matter as the DVLA has now set a date for their abolition. From June 8 2015, the paper counterpart licences will no longer be valid and the authorities will cease to issue any more. The counterpart is currently used to keep a record of motoring convictions such as speeding. When you’re required to provide proof of licence, such as on track days, b…

Ok all quick question, is there such a thing as actual petrol (GAS) proof paint? I only ask as I have just painted my crash bars a (to me) nice red colour so they stand out and when messing with the carbs the last few weeks I managed to get fuel all over the blasted things, 10 minutes later I have bare metal and great big lumps of paint rolling off the bars, must add that I did wipe the petrol off as soon as I got it on them so not just left there for it to work it's magic! I also coated them with a "fuel proof" lacquer which I had left over from the XJ build, my fuel tank top is regularly dotted with fuel when I fill up and I just wipe it down with a paper towel and it's…

Kate & I would like to wish you all a happy Christmas!

HI guys, Does anyone know of a company, or an individual who can re-wind my stator for improved output? the Yamaha WR400 99' only has a 55w stator, i need about 80 to run my indicators and dash and lights all together. There is the option to upgrade to a 2nd hand stator off a newer wr, but they are close to £200.....id rather spend a lot less haha Thanks Ross.

Hey all. I've got my mod 2 test on Tuesday 2nd Dec and starting to get a little nervous if I'm honest. The test is being done on a Gladius 650cc with abs, the thing is that I've not been on the road since my CBT and that was on a Honda 125cc and they are really different esp when it comes to the gears. Is there any advise that could be given with regards to not making a total hash of the test? Thanks, Rafen.

Hi Folks Just found this on MCN's website. http://igg.me/at/motogroom/x A new start-up company is seeking funding for a helmet dryer and it looks really useful. Drying time after a full wash is 3 hours (as opposed to 3 days whenever I do it!) so I reckon it's worth £39 to get it going? Oh, and get a dryer as well, obviously!

Saw this on ebay, its like a real TDR but smaller!

Let me explain... Guitarists dont wanna share knowledge, or ideas or licks. They think somethin up, they wanna keep it to themselves Drummers are the opposite, come up with something cool its available for everyone to use! Bikers are the same it seems! I was a bit intimidated by bikers at first because I knew nothing and was out if my comfort zone but you lot in here are so keen to share experience and knowledge. Good on ya! Im a drummer too

Haven't seen Andy about for a while, has he left the building?
