  2. Just re-reading the and thought I would take a look at the Gov. e-petitions site again. For those not in the UK, the great people of Britain can start an on line petition and if it gets enough votes the government debate it. A bit like X factor but with better singing. At the moment more people want "Keep Formula 1 Free To Air in the UK" than "Britain wants referendum to leave EU" The best reading comes from the rejected pile, again a little like the X factor worst singers. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/16300 http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/16450 http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/16445 http://epetitions.direct.…

    I know there has been some discussion about recording rides. Here is an HD camera for £30 or so that can be fitted anywhere (well almost) and if you have a power take off, the battery charged at the same time.

    Hiya, Sorry for the inconvenience over the last few days, we've been moving to a new server, the move means that the site is now more scalable and ultimately faster. We've also just updated the forum software, gallery, garage and chat functionality to the latest versions, so please let me know if you notice anything unusual. Hopefully all is fine and there won't be any issues. Well fingers crossed! Alex

  9. Hey girls and guys. I took delivery of my TZR125 yesterday and am very pleased with it. The bloke I brought it from said it was all ok and would pass MOT with no probs. The only problem we can see is that when your releasing the clutch to go the bike seems to want to die on us unless you put loads of revs in. It's also doing the same thing when turning. It seems to splutter, start losing the will to live and them you have not over rev it to get it going again. Any ideas as to why it is doing this? Thanks

  13. Have just bought a new YBR and it is back at the dealers for the second time in two weeks. Most of the time it won't go into 1st gear from neutral. On one occassion it took about 3 minutes at a busy junction to get it in to 1st. Twice it has pulled away whilst in neutral (neutral light on). The dealer has said that it only does not go into first, a few times and that most YBRs are like that and there's nothing wrong with it. He did say after the first time he had it back that he had made a few adjustments and it was fine. I took it back and it was fine for the first 5 miles then it went back to doing the same thing. He said he has spoken to Yamaha technical dept. and th…

    So I've finally got round to taking my test. I did a 3 day intensive course wed-friday. First day consisted of getting on this hunk of shit Kawasaki ER-6n, riding around a playground twice and then out on the road. Local riding first day, second day we went up to burgess hill and rode around the roads around the test centre, third day was the test. Was absolutely pooing my pants. Sailed through mod 1 without a minor. Picked up 3 minors on the road ride (mod 2). All three for being cautious. I stopped at two roundabouts that i didnt "need" to, and didnt go past a 4x4 that had stopped at lights straddling the two lanes. All things I would have not done if i were riding myse…
