My mate and I decided to have a bimble around the Lincolnshire wolds today as it is so picturesque in the sun. We took all the back roads which are pretty narrow and occasionally get stuck behind the odd tractor moving from field to field....but today it was 40 of them in a convoy! After following them for a couple of miles we decided to stop and have a drink and a smoke to let them get off the road. We then set off again and took our intended route turning left at a cross roads and right into the back end of the convoy again! this happened twice before we finally got past them all! ~We found out later that they were all going to a show two villages over. Luckily were we…

Well a few weeks ago i was reading BSH and seen a lot of very nice bikes (as you do) and in one of them spotted a 650 Draggy bobber that the bloke had basically just took the rear mud gaurd off and stuck on a set of different bars on it, its now for sale on Ebay and he's giving it the beans with saying its fully custom made etc etc which is great for him and im sure he will sell it as it was a nice bike. Now, it got me thinking If he was able to get a pretty much stock bike (bar a few bits taken off it) into BSH could i get Betty in that mag? Well after e-mailing BSH and attached a couple of photos i just got a short and sweet e-mail back from the editor sayi…

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. I have and XVS650 Drag Star and I need to find a replacement rubber bung (not sure of the correct term) that the screws for the speedometer screw into. Thanks

Just bought it, love it. But I know with most bikes/cars several years of a model's parts might fit it. i.e. mine's a 99, what other years will fit? I'm wanting it black, but I think I might be better off just to buy all the painted parts and then sell mine. Should save me some since mine are in pristine condition and I just want to switch to black. Anyways, advice?

Anyone know if they fit? Watching some on ebay but want to be sure. Thanks Ross

how do u remove stuff from the wanted and for sale forums cant see the link or am I just thick don't all rush to answer that one

Ok folks just a quick question and an answer, how do you clean really greasy engines? well I have always used stuff like GUNK or something similar but at nearly £8 a tin it's expensive so was talking to the wife (well you have to sometimes don't you) while out shopping yesterday and she suggested that if it was greasy then she would use an OVEN cleaner cos it shifts real hard to move stuff, happened to be walking past the local pound shop, for those that don't know a shop that sells everything for a pound or less, went in and bought their cheapest oven cleaner and used it today and it really does shift the greasy shit off like nothing I have ever seen and at 99p a tin…

Anyone else Watching Game of Thrones ?? What a Brilliant Series it is ,In fact i would say its one of the best series i've watched on tele. For those who don't know it's an adaptation of an award winning book by George R. R. Martin. It's high fantasy starring Boromir himself. It's made by HBO the network behind Band of Brothers, Pacific etc and is a stunningly pretty high quality series by anybodies standards. It's high fantasy but has more violence, death, sex and nudity than i think i've seen from a TV show. Some of the women in it are damn hot looking too.

hello folks i have a yamaha yzf 125 riding on l plates with my cbt im a confident rider and feel more than ready for my test the question im asking is can i just book my test and go my self on my bike or is it compusary to book some lessons and go with a teacher? thanks Jonathan )

Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251537764587&alt=web

Heya peeps. Just throwing this out there, was thinking of getting some special ed Squires 2014 T-shirts made up for the dozen or so people who are likely to attend , anyone fancy it? maybe some sort of mural or yamaha-related cartoon design. Just a thought Foameh x

hello i am new to motorcycles and just bought 2 piece leather clothing and a pair of boots i am having a problem and wondered if anyone can help the leathers fit me nicely however my boots wont go over the top of the leather trousers or fasten underneath them i have big calves and wondered if it was the boots and if there are boots with wider tops available, my current buts are alpinestars smx 5 boots in size 11 any help thanks ))

Ok folks I have finally finished this bloody monstrosity who knew what a right pain in the arse it would be. Suzukis are right bastards to work on is all I can say, even tho I got it cheap it has turned out to be an expensive lesson in how to do up an old bike. Made a youtube vid for when it goes up for sale next week but I expect to make a loss on the whole thing, not that it really matters as I only wanted it to have a project, but if I see another one then it can quietly rot away as far as I am concerned. Anyway here she is in all her glory. http://youtu.be/Zu1M6EibcsM

......... and it may be my imagination but I really think it runs better. I read it on here somewhere recently but can someone explain me again what it does over regular. Cheers.

As a Yamaha owners club, can you provide this, for a fee of course? If so, how much? Thanks, Nate

I thought we should look to see if we need any T shirts for the 2015 event. Best to start arranging this now!

Hey peeps. Sorry to create yet another T-shirt thread, there's already a load of them but it seems that they have been buried/forgotten. T-shirts are now available... sort of, its Pauls design (tuning forks, YOC e.t.c) but i went through Vistaprint and ordered myself one, but since i have all the templates drawn up already i thought why not offer them out? Currently they are available in white, grey or black with blue text, if you would like a different colour text let me know as it wont be too hard to sort out but may be a tad more expensive if its a one-off Prices so far: (shipped to your door, including paypal charges) White shirt, no name or s…
