I've had bad luck with searching for good 125 cruisers, the 4 main japanese makes seem not to make them anymore, and the ones still about are either high milage or rusted beyond belief, I've found brand new chinese bikes, but people always say they are crap, but at least you can start as you mean to go on. I can buy a chinese bike brand new for a nice price, I can keep it greased up and try to avoid rain, I can break it in myself, change the oil as I like and keep it at good scratch. I had a huoniao that lasted me, until I took my exhausts off for like the 10th time and ended up migrating some thread holes and bending some stuff by over tightening I cant affo…

Any one watching the new cafe racer program ? Got some knob head smugly promoting himself and his company by cutting up a spotless cb750 sandcast model, and putting a mono shock on with Beringer inboard front disks. the bike looks nice, but FFS use the later model. A sandcast CB recently went on ebay for $41,000 people kept calling him and offerd to give him 4 later cb750's to stop him doing it.

First things first: Not a crash Bike is fine Doing a left turn at a junction. Hit a piece of plastic halfway through the turn and it took the back wheel. the piece of plastic was flung out behind me due to the wheel spinning. When the wheel caught traction again the resulting jolt did something to my back. Managed to get home but my back hurts

I'm happy to share the news - I finally passed my Mod 2 test. And a quick question : Am I entitled to ride a bike bigger than 125cc before i actually receive my full license? That's in case I manage to find a new bike for me in next couple of weeks. I tried to find any related publications online, but didn't find anything useful. Thanks Georgi

Hi all, A lot of us import parts from overseas evilbay sites. We know we may get charged import and VAT but do we really know how much? This calculator may help you and it is smart enough for you to enter the item number. Remember Post office collection charges are not included. As a tip, click "Car parts, DIY and tools" in the first selection box and motorcycle parts will show in the next selection. LINKY

Ho ho ho everyone. Not too many sleeps left until that fat bloke squeezes down your chimney and visits your kids bedrooms in the dead of night - a bit worrying that!! Has anyone put any bike bits on their list, or am I the only sad one? My list is nothing but bike bits with a new pair of shocks heading up the list. Not being able to wait until Christmas I just treated myself to a NOS swingarm with the tophats and the 3 spacers. £50 plus postage, bargain as the tophats and spacers cost more than that on their own LINKY What's on your list?? PS - Don't forget to keep your eyes on the Halfords website as they normally have a 50% off tools promo at this time …
