Hi, Does anyone have any good suggestions for cheap 2-way radios that work well. Me and a mate want to do a bit more long distance and it would be good to have some communication as we're riding along. I found a cheapish set on maplins (around £50) but wondered if anyone had used any others? Cheers

Hi all The title says it all.

Ok i thought most of the stuff about loading the footpegs in corners was hype. Unless your taking cadwells mountain or going for megga lean angles its irrelevant to most of us. Well last Tuesday i badly cut and bruised the back of my heel, including bruising my achilees (not reccomended) well i used the car for a couple of days. (difficult to kick the bike over with a gammy right leg, not to mention my boots). Well i was back on the bike yesterday and could i turn right, could i buggery, wobbled round corners like a piss head. Wandering to the left etc. Its better today as is my foot. I know the TDR is more sensitive to fine inputs than a lot of other bikes but i…

Hi just thought i would bring this to the yamaha owners club website, this is a pertition to stop the new regulations regarding the 2013 bike test into force. Please sign it, this could wipe bikers and biking off the map. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/27455 Thankyou

Hey all, been a while! Still on the YBR! been riding 8 months now. Full test all booked up and I'm ready to rock. I REALLY want a TZR 250! Are they any good?

Anyone know why it says "warn status" under my profile? doesn't seem to be on anyone else's.

Talking to Airhead today and funny enough he mentioned that fuel isn't the same any more. I thought that yesterday when siphoning off the 2 stroke tank. It doesn't smell the same or tastes the same.(not gulps just molecules) I remember in the 80's I would be burping off the fumes, now there doesn't seem to be any more and is more like water! I know there is 5% ethanol in there now, but there must be other crap in there to "bulk" it out a bit too!

i bought an xt350 back in july wich literly lasted 7 weeks before it broke down. I dont realy no how it happend but the piston has had the whole sidewall worn off. the head, crank, con rod and piston are all ruined as well as the barrle. the promblem im having is finding any parts for it. Im looking for a full engine but i cant find much. theres nothing on ebay and ive called so many breakers with no luck. id be willing to get a donor bike but there arnt many of them about either. dose anyone no were i can get an engine or any parts for it. i no its not the most common bike around but there must be something around. alternatively are there any engines i can fit into…

At the show today there was a stand on the National Youth Bike. Never heard of it before and I think that its great as it encourages the young ones into our beloved mode of transport.

Just ordered a pair of Hornee kevlar jeans (well combats actually), and was wandering what you chaps think of kevlar jeans? Anyone here had their skin saved by them? I got them mostly for motorway use. Last summer and autumn I was riding wearing just ordinary jeans or combats, and If I'd had a spill at 70mph that would have been very painful until my skin would have grown back! The other option is of course leather, which I could find at a decent price, about £65ish on amazon, but only in black (my leather jacket and boots are brown). So went for the Hornees instead.

Need help picking a bike so I know what to save for. What i've looked at so far: (in order of preference) Suzuki Bandit 600 / GSX650F Yamaha XJ6 Honda CB 600 Just a few ideas. Please help me to pick a bike that i'll be comfortable on. 6ft 2" around 16.5 stone Also, could anyone explain how choke/carbs works? To be able to afford a 600 i'll be buying an old one so I doubt i'll have Fuel Injection.

Started the day still wound up about the outcome of a project meeting yesterday. Got a permanent job on promotion and a nice salary rise (I haven't had a "proper" job since 2000 as I normally contract) Came home to a cheque from the tax man for just under £1600. Very strange day!!

Gonna be in the Redditch area for a long weekend in May, are there any Saturday or Sunday bike meets that take place within 20 miles of Redditch
