Just thought i would let you know about an ebay member csco4888 goes by the name of Chris. He had a TZR 125 on e bay breaking for spares. We agreed on £75 + £10 postage for a few bits ignition lock, fuel cap, head light, clutch lever and indicators. I sent him the money through pay pal as a gift( I know this was wrong as you can't dispute a gift). Now after nearly a month and several texts stating that the parcel had been returned I have given up. Just thought I would warn whoever reads this so no one else gets scammed. Share this with whoever.

I have been detailed to go with the wife tomorrow to the in-laws. I can choose the music to listen to on the way up, I'm looking for suggestions. I've got a choice of the following, what would you recommend? Thin Lizzy (whiskey in the jar) Free (alright now) Manfred Man Boney M Mamas & Papas Bay City Rollers Jim Morrison (Doors) Supertramp Hot Chocolate Searchers The Kinks Rolling Stones Jimi Hendrix Hermans hermits

I am looking to get an uprated bulb for the bike. Before I start taking things apart, does anyone know what type it is is looks like a H7 or a H4 from the back. The handbook does not say! Thanks

what other hobbies do you have? i have a pony.. also offroad my truck...

hi all .. sorry if this topic has been done to death already but i need help asap .. my other half (my bird) is 46 and has just passed her mod 1 in december and her mod 2 on friday 8th feb 13 on her gn125 and now has a full catagory A licence .. my problem is that the new rules are so crappy to understand that anywhere you look on the web including .gov or mcn nothing is clear about what my other half can now ride .. because of her age (over 24) i think she can now ride up to 33hp bikes for 2 years because its cat A ??? did the rules only change for under 24s meaning the rules stayed the same for older bikers or am i wrong and she has to ride a 125 for 2 years ??? i…

I'm hoping to find a experienced graphic designer who's passionate about bikes who'd be interested in a little bit of work for the club. To design a few banners, posters etc. Anyone interested or know anyone?

It seems like it would be a bad idea but since getting back on the bike Ive been considering earplugs as motorway wind noise is colossal. So I may as well be listening to music(?) I know some cars have trick systems that automatically increase/decrease volume in line with road speed. Anything exist like that for bikers?

A wee problem has manifested itself on my laptop. Once I close my email page,the next time I open it my inbox has emptied itself. It first did this on Friday night and has continued doing the same thing each time I open the email page. My email account is btyahoo. Anyone any ideas on the reasons for this (the disappearing emails, not why I use btyahoo). As an aside the IE email still has a full inbox. I just discovered this today, so it was a wee bit of a relief

Hi all, Any views on whether it's worth utilising Microsoft's January's offer at a discount upgrade for Windows 7 users to Windows 8. (I'm thinking of my pc & laptop none of which are touch screen!). Love the idea of it being faster to load up and shut down but no 'start' menu option isn't good. pleased to hear.....

well here it is again....., well i suippose , january, scotland....snow

ebay is infuriating.. People just pull numbers out of theiere asses and say "thats a good price" Im on there looking for a barrel for my rxs.. and i was bidding and lost by £1 as i was in the bathroom when it ended.. Never mind really as it had gone a bit more expensive than i expected. And i decided a nother would come allong soon.. well one poped up. £60! and £10 postage?? They must be crazy. I must have missed the moddel where they made the barrel out of platinum. dont get me wrong, you can get reasonably priced stuff on there. gasket sets bearings and so on really arent to bad.. of course you want a indecator lens and they are side screw versions which i d…

I'm looking to buy a DTR125 as a rebuild project. I found this one for sale on Gumtree. Its odd because the bike is clearly a DT125RE but the seller says the Bike is a DT125 2002 model. Correct me if i am wrong but wasn't the DT125RE not made as early as 2002. I am suspicious that this may be a stolen bike with an older bikes identity. Any help or advice... http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/dt125-r-with-11months-mot-no-tax/110742313

anybody used these Frank Thomas dri viz over trousers. Mine are disintergrating and these look like a good replacement. http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/viz005-dri-viz-over-trouser-black-fluoro.html The main point being the leg zips meaning i dont have to freeze in the warehouse bogs getting changed. As instead of swapping from leggings to trousers i will be able to wear my work stuff underneath. And js are doing last years for under 60 notes.... Are they good/bad?

Is there anyone on here that is in the bournemouth area that would like to come and give me a hand with my project . Food and drink will be supplied

there is a cb400 on ebay with a 33bhp restrictor on it. can they sell it like that? i thought the certificate was for the rider as well as the bike?..so if i brought it i would have to have it restricted again right??..

Hi is it possible I can advertise my new bikers forum on here please.

The regulator is not doing the job 19v does anyone know a cheap place to get one the 5 pin type?

Happy new year everyone. With a new year comes a new problem. I stripped down my Thundercat and resprayed it all over winter. I've built some of it back up but when I fired it up today for the first time the right front indicator just stayed on like the headlight. It also flashes when I hit the switch but when I turn it off the light is constant. My father in-law mentioned something about a bad earth but I've no clue what that is so any ideas and suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks everyone, Andy

When I turn the handlebars on my 2008 xt125r the headlight flashes. When the bike is on the light comes on automatically which is normal, but when I turn the bike the light dims. I have taken all the instrument panel off and there is no wiring problems/bare wires etc anyone got any ideas. Also the neutral indication light on the dash (blue light) has also disappeared. Don't know if this is part of the same problem. Thanks in advance for any ideas or help.
