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.

I'm thinking about turning my bedroom into a microbrewery. I've always fancied having a go but I am a complete novice. I imagine brewing wine would be the easiest? I've been looking at wine kits on-line and it seems cheap enough, the only doubt I have is the quality of the finished product. Also I would think it takes a lot of time, effort, and mess, is it worth it all?

Happy New Year to all, and to all a good night. JESUS!!!! I'M amazed I can still type.

Just noticed this morning that one of my my indicator bulbs was out and I was searching online to see what the law against riding with a blown bulb but didn't really find anything solid. I recall during my CBT, the instructor said that it's still legal to ride providing you use hand signals. I know the best course of action here is to get the bulb replaced as soon as possible, just really bad timing. I'll have to ride early tomorrow morning and back home at night one more time before I can replace them. So I'm wondering what the law is with riding only using hand signals for a period of time and if that applies to night time riding too.

ok this will sound daft but it has made a big difference. My dt has the traditionally poor headlight. Your ok if its just you but oncoming cars, esp new ones with the stupidly bright dip beam destroy your night vision. Leaving you blind for a bit. My helmet has one of those built in tinted visors you can slide down. Din't know why but i used it this morning when a car came at me lights blazing, there i am 4am with a tinted visor. Fuck me what a difference. So much better. It saves so much of your night vision its amazing. You really can see far better even with having to faf about moving it up and down. You will all think i'm nuts unless youtry it.

Wednesday night I was riding home from work and the temperature light came on, I rode it anyway and it cut out, so I then waited for it to cool and rode at about 10mph on the way back. Got home and chucked a load of water on it and it all steamed up. Found out I had a coolant leak and so I whacked some water in and you could literally here the engine cool. I tryed starting about 20 minutes later and it seemed fine so I took it on a 10 minute ride then locked it up in my garage That night the temp went to -1 c and when I tryed starting I eventually ran down my battery and I was trying kick start for about half hour. This morning I put a blanket over it overnight bu…
