Hi all, i recently had a bit of a spill on the bike, had to replace a few broken parts including my indicator relay, i have got a replacement and put it on the bike, it works brilliant apart from one small floor. the new relay has a irritating beeping noise, is this meant to happen? It only seems odd because it never did this with the old relay. And solution will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Rode to work this morning. I could smell oil burning and the gearbox felt clunky. Parked the bike and saw this Realising I didn't own a Triumph I gave the bike a quick once over. Oil everywhere including the rear tyre; This is not good I thought so after a cuppa and a ciggie I had a closer look. It looked like the oil filter had corroded and been holed by a stone. I called those nice people at green flag (I get basic cover with my Nat West account). They sent a vehicle to take my bike to the bike doctors.

Sorry I haven't been on here for a while, but my husband was sick. I am sorry to say he died a week ago today. It was such a shock to us all, in fact I am in remote control at mo, everything is surreal. Anyway We are giving him a bikers send off after 40yrs of biking. Hoping a good crowd will turn up. Dave was quite popular with his neanderthal sense of humour, just used to make people laugh. Funeral is on Thurs. I will be back but in time. Just got to get my head around everything.

Free to a Good Home Our house was broken into last night by two robbers who locked me in the bathroom, and proceeded to steal all they could carry. Our watchdog Killer did not alert us at all, and for this reason we are giving him away. We no longer want this dog. We have decided on installing an electric fence and detection devices with alarms. They're cheaper to maintain and definitely more reliable. For those interested in adopting the dog, please send an e-mail immediately. Killer is fun to hang out with, but otherwise pretty useless. A recent photo of Killer is included below........

a friend of mine had a major accident whilest riding under instruction during a cbt, who is responsible? the rider was a first time rider and was made to use a geared bike as no scooters where available, they had rode around the car park and had not had to change gear, when leaving the car park to ride out onto the road the accident happened. should the trainer be responsible for not noticing the rider was not ready? or is it just bad luck that the accident happened? any advice or whom to contact regarding this would be very greatful thank you

Hi Guys, I can imagine of you are thinking its stupid for anyone to own a Mini moto, I baught it off of a friend just to strip down, Rebuild and replace what needs replacing. The problem I am having is it got to me not working and from what I have checked it isnt sparking so I will be sorting that, The other thing is the carb valve with the little dial style handle on the side that allows fuel trough, Aparantly it has been turned god knows how many times, I dont have any idea if it being turned around the same way many times will stop fuel flow or is it on something where it just matters at what angle its at and not a thread? Im sorry for the Un technical explenati…

Hi there, have a 2010 yamaha aerox, working fine yesterday was cutting around no problem, has sat at the garage for about 2 months unused, unstarted, this was the previous owner. However, the second time i brought it out yesterday it bogged out just as i started to rev, to the point that the engine terminated, from here on the electric start is just turning over and will not start it successfully. Checked the spark plug, its a good NGK one and is generating a good spark. Help. Thanks in advance!
