I have been asked by a friend to disable her sons moped. The donut is riding it without anything and it won't be long until he is lifted. I know I/we should let it happen but unlike this lad I am looking at the bigger picture. In that he has got him self in at a good firm on apprenticeship type scheme via school. His future kinda depends on him getting a tractor licence and he is too stupid to join the dots but the graft he will be doing will make him. He gave £20 for it non runner an to be fair got it running. Option one is sugar in the tank. Down side wrecks engine plus side he will think he it just seized up saving any grief towards his mum. Should he ever find …

Guys, have been trawling the web for a new bike (just sold my R1). Seem to be going round and round in circles and just not finding anything I like... Other than eBay, Gumtree, Autotrader & MCN - where do you look for bikes? Cheers - Boner.

In my "Hello" post I mentioned that I was planning on selling my Superdream for a Maxim 650. Well, I got to the shop only to find that somebody had beaten me to it - but not a wasted journey, because tucked away at the back of the shop was a very nice looking Kawasaki ER-500, and well within my expected budget too. However - took it out for a test, and the engine was very disappointing - not rough, but not smooth either. Had a very distinct lump to it, that didn't get any better at speed, which I expected. Anybody else ridden an ER-500 - is that a trademark of the bike, or was it a duff one?

I'm looking to put a sat nav on my bars ready for the summer and some nice riding days out. Anyone got any recommendations? Will want European maps included too. I've been looking at the dedicated motorbike ones and they're a bit out of my budget. Would an ordinary car sat nav be ok? Or would vibration and sun/outdoor conditions ruin it? Also, can you get the bar mounting brackets for the non-bike specific ones? I know I can get a waterproof cover thingy and universal charging socket for bikes off ebay. Been searching the actual units and seem to be going round in circles trying to figure it out Any thoughts/recommendations would be a big help. Than…

This is only meant to be a lighthearted bit of gesture, albeit in this instance it's true. Sons birthday(28) Not a lot we can do about him because he's in Aussie, but we did send him £100. Daughters birthday(21) Me and the missus(my wife and I) went down on the train on Monday, took all her presents down, then took her to a very nice but very expensive Italian restaurant, then got the train back. Obviously enjoyed seeing her. Wife/Missus/Her indoors birthday(?) Took her to Reading for the day all expenses paid, breakfast, dinner, etc. Then traipsed all round the shops with her. My birthday(64) My birthday is on Sunday, where is she taking me? Local We…

Been trying to add an advert to the classified section and it is driving me nuts, can one of you be kind enough to tell me how to get an add onto this bloody thing? I saw a OWNERS manual for a DT50M on fleabay and as it was going cheap I grabbed it and was hoping to offer it to someone who might need it and as I only paid £6 for it seemed a bit of a bargain and one of you might have a use for it. If your interested then PM me.
