was just having a look through ebay, and found this dt125 tenere - in all honesty i have never seen one before and thought you guys might want to have a look. and if it's as rare as they are saying might make a cool project. the bike has nothing to do with me- just thought i would share it, if not just to have a look at the pictures. http://www.ebay.co.uk

Hiya peeps Im starting to get excited about coming home and getting out on the bike(s) but im also after some new gear, particularly a set of gloves, there was a link posted in one of the SMIDSY thread many moons ago which featured these gloves but for the life of me i cant find it. basically from what i remember they were textile, black in colour but had spiked metallic knuckles, ive had a look on ebay but cannot seem to find anything even closely resembling the gloves im after , just wondered if anyone had seen a pair like it? love always Foameh x

I recently passed my driving test and I received my counterpart and license with category B embedded. However, looking at the Provisional entitlements section on the counterpart I see that I have category A listed. Could this be some sort of mistake? The actual licence seems to be correct where it lists the dates for category AM, A (=<25K), B and fkpq. Anyone with a motorcycle and car licence willing to check if this is the case for them too, thanks

Hi all, Has anyone used this app. I've just downloaded it but not had a proper play as yet. The emergency assist seems an interesting concept (it detects if you have had an accident - hmmm- and if you don't respond within 60 seconds to the screen prompts it sends medical info & location to the emergency services). Will read the terms & conditions when I can but just wanted to see if anyone has used this or the other functions. Otherwise seems pretty decent on the surface with the hazard function a potential good source of info too. App is still very new so guess it depends on the uptake on how accurate the info is. (p.s I'm not in anyway associat…

When does a bike stop being OLD and become a CLASSIC ????????/ just a passing random thought in my head today Any suggestions ??

Just a quick query, would any of you happen to know if it's possible to get an insurance for one day so I can get the Maxim to the test centre and back? It's just that I don't have a trailer and the thought of paying £60 + the price of the MOT so they can collect and return is a bit steep as it's only 2 miles away, if you also happen to know who might do this or have done it yourself please point me towards the insurance company that you used, thanks all, any advise would be appreciated.

Been a while since I posted, but after my last little mishap, I thought I'll post a little something... Just before Christmas my bike was in my garage for a few weeks. So I decided it was time to go out and charge the battery for a while. After I had my fix of fresh air, I decided to head back home and at the last set of lights a white van reversed into me! I pulled up behind the van waiting for the lights, leaving about the length of half a car between us. As soon as the lights turned green the van reversed. I had a second to try and hit the horn, but it was too late. The van pushed me back about 2 metres! I'm just lucky I didn't come off. The van driver was …

Hi all I'm taking my CBT this Saturday and apparently I'm doing it on a 50cc geared or auto I don't know because I haven't a 125cc entitlement on my licence but the instructor is telling me that if I pass I then send my licence off to add a 125cc entitlement and then I can ride a 125cc with L plates no passengers and no motorway is this right because they knew my situation before I paid for the course please could all of you try and help me out on this one cheers Gerry

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any recomendations for Satnav to use on Motorbikes/iphones please? (usually with one ear phone) I have tried both "Waze" and "NavFree" but cannot get used to either. I maybe willing to look at alternative pay versions - as long as it can get me places and work properly.

Ok just had my insurance quote through and guess what it's gone up , even with my NCD so looked around and had another quote from an online thingy and get this £100 cheaper than my quote from my present insurer, so did the play them off thing and suddenly I have a "NEW" quote from them at the same price "PLUS" all the bells and whistles that were "EXTRA" before, so what are they playing at I ask? why not just offer this in the first place and stop pissing about. No wonder people get ticked off with insurance companies and the prices they charge. Just to illustrate the point original quote £155 + some odd pence to £60 exactly for fully comp on my 750. Also thinking o…

Hi Everyone I would be grateful if you would all consider viewing this youtube photo slide show and posting it onto your Facebook or Twitter accounts and ask for it to be re tweeted or shared in the hope that I can reunite these photo's with the owners who lost them. I am a keen metal detectorist and whilst I was on holiday last year I found this badly corroded Digital Camera under the wet sand by the sea. Although the camera had been there for many months the memory card was intact with 83 photo's on it. I have written to many places for help without successso far but I have been contacted by a reporter today from one newspaper offering to help. I think t…
