There's a new motorcycle gear shop opening in Weston Super Mare next monday (27th feb 2012) JDL Motorcycle Gear is owned and run by Kevan Scott (head Marshall at weston Bike Night) and his family they supply everything motorcyclists might need (except for the bikes). He's got TEA and CAKES too! even on Sundays, so worth dropping in for that alone! Stock includes Helmets, Clothing, Spares, filters, Batteries and loads more. Have a look at their web site http://www.jdlgroup.eu/10.html The shop is pretty easy to find......... Coming from Bridgwater: A370 Bridgwater road - Turn right (at the Hospital roundabout) onto the Broadway - Turn Left at the mini roundabo…

Hey peeps! with my pending departure overseas it seems i have already spent my bonus, behold the glory of my latest toy, 17k on the clock and a few extra toys added on for good measure It was my dads bike about 7 years ago, he rode it for a while and parked it up under cover in the garage... where it stayed for 5 years until i decided it would be a respectable step up from the rattley battle-scarred XJ600, managed to dig it out from under the crap that has accumulated in the garage today and after installing a fresh battery and turning the fuel tap to the on position (the XJ has a vac operated tap, im not used to this!) it fired into life and ran perfectly,…

just found the link to the bike test on the direct Gov website I got 50/50, thank god I still got it! A lot of it would be hard if you didn't have the riding experience I suspect http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Diol1/DoItOnline/Doitonlinemotoring/DG_4017669

You wont believe what happened to me today and I've only just managed to calm down. I can also imagine the sympathy I will get (or not) when you read the rest of this post. Module 2 test was booked for today at 10:09 Met with my instructor early at 8.00am for a good hours touring as it was quite cold and wanted to check out the roads.We then went off to the test centre but mid journey I had to swap gloves with a spare pair that my instructor had. We arrived well in time at about 9.50. Outside the test centre we had a last minute chat and i decided to go back to using my gloves so we swapped the kit over and I took off my headset and radio and helmet.Walked into the …

Been plundering through eBay looking for parts for my project. Spotted some nice delkevic footrests, was about to click the Buy-It-Now when I noticed his shipping cost of £5.95 was mainland UK only. Shipping to NI was gonna be £19.99!! What a rip off. I've posted much bigger items (like plastics off Juniors PW50) from here to mainland, 1st class recorded for £5. I actually contacted the seller to ask how he justified his costs, got a reply today after a week - telling me not to contact him again!!! Lol Rant over, normal service will now continue

Yes it is still a bit chilly, yes the roads have a covering of muck but what a fabulous day for getting the cobwebs blown off the bike. Much better than the beginning of the week when there was still ice around. 21 miles commute to work = 30 minutes. Half term helped!! Bring on the summer

Ok so i bought a bike a few months back, just an offroader for use in the lanes Was sold as a Dt125, but my mate says its not a DT, maybe a YZ? His dad recons its neither, possibly an IT? There are no lights, but there is a bracket for a footstand. My mate says the shocks and discs are not from a DT as they are larger than usual. The engine reads 'Yamaha 3BN' then 'Y-3' on the head. Does this mean anything? Or do i need to find a chassis number etc.. I'm a complete ammatuer when it comes to bikes... as you can tell lol I need to know what bike/engine i have as i need to buy a head gasket. Thanks in advance

Got my new Special mocked-up the other day....... thinkin' a Wheelie-Bar might in order here? .......

After a few months on my SV650, im wishing for more top end grunt for overtakes and the like, and something that looks/feels a bit sportier.... So the SV is off on saturday, and on monday im hoping to be picking up this : And whoever at Yam decided to name it THUNDERCAT was a legend! Literally the coolest name for a bike EVER!!!!
