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…

Hello, Will Yamaha Dragstar 250 exhaust pipe will fit into Yamaha Dragstar 125? I just need to replace rear pipe. I have found one which is "It has a number on it Yamaha 5kr and e13" and just wondering will it fit into my Yamaha Dragstar 125? Thanks in advance. Cheers,

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.

My first time.Some awesome kit and cool vibe. Will defo' be heading out there again :-)

Iv have just bought a 1989 DT50MX, it is currently red frame and black tank and seat but im thinking of changing it, what other original colour schemes were avalible on this bike back in 1989? any descriptions or pics much appriciated

As per the question really. I would like opinions on whether it must be a Dremel or is there something as good (or better)? While I am at it, do all of these things share the same shaft size? I know I want a mains one, not a rechargeable. Main uses, I think, will be: Case polishing Odd bolt cutting - both slot and head removal Can't think of anything else at the mo. Thanks.

Hi I dont know what year my bike is, any chance somebody can help me identify the year? Also the bike is orange never seen this on any other DT 125R has anyone else?

As my newest aquisition will not be following my usual purist lines i was wondering what makes a bike a Q plate. At the moment the frame is from a DT50 , the forks are from a TS125 (apparently) but there is no engine at the moment. My idea is to ascertain the frame date by its number then apply for a V5 but im a little unsure in which order I should be doing things. Any help would be most appreciated

i was wondering of anyone could help me in anyway i only have frame numbers on my dt 125 lc mk1 no engine number no reg no v5 no name of previous keepeer etc , been in touch with dvla with frame number and they just senyt my check back and said if i didnt have reg number well its no go i would have to have the bike examined by a sva then they would do somethinng , is there anyway of finding out the reg details etc with the frame number only with some hpi check or something just a thought.

Passed my mod one today on an A2 license (due to age). So will hopefully book my mod 2 later on tonight- or maybe into the week, anyways so that's: -CBT -Theory (even though i already have a full car license) -mod one Just mod two to go and then i can finally fuck the L plates right off....might even take piss on em LOL i'm kidding just chuffed to bit that i passed it on my first attempt, i didn't think that i'd be worried about it until i turned up at the test center- stress, but its over with now YAY

Well I'm almost at the end of my quest for a new shed. A couple of tons of earth, replaced by 2 ton of hardcore and 1cu metre of concrete and I was able to put this up today. I still have to insulate and line the inside, fit some electrics and make up a ramp, but the end is nigh. My original plan was to dig it down to street level, however when digging I came across some yellow tape advising me of a gas pipe so couldn't go any lower

Hi all Can someone tell me if the front fender on a xvs1100 classic is the same as the front fender on a xvs650 classic. Cheers

Hi all I'm getting a loudish squeak on my front brake disc it's fine when I slow down in there's properly but when coming to a quicker stop it squeaks any ideas please.

Since this isn't bike related I thought you may not mind. If it is please delete. I don't suppose anyone on here has any Boxford BUD spares? ie. Chuck key, 4 jaw chuck, face plate etc.. Thanks for looking.

Had my MOD1 test this morning and failed. Everything went fine until the avoidance section when i went through the traps 1 kph too slow! i was asked to try it again and went through much faster at 56 kph but clipped the cone this time! what a bummer!

Now we die hard motorcyclists can laugh. Well i certainly did today. The first of the wobbly warm weather riders were out.

well took longer than i wanted with work getting in the way and waiting for parts but she is back on the road. Was brilliant. Turn on the fuel. Bleed the oil pump. Couple of kicks to prime. Pull choke and turn ig on. More in hope than anyexpectation. Started right up and sat there at around 1500rpm. Great to have her back. The tdr is fun but my day to day go to is the dt. Pretty she aint. But every scrape is mine. You can keep the museum pieces. Happy bunny....

Can anybody help me with editing a photo on photobucket. This is a photo I've added some texts to but how do I include arrows pointing to where I want it to show? I'm sure there is a way but for the life of me I cannot find it.
