Also is there anyone out there who could make an undertray for the DTR? I know it sounds a bit bizzare but I'm out to be different!

I got a couple of packages today of suff I had brought for the Suzi. One was some pattern parts for the far east and were what I ordered. The other was from German ebay. Here is the story The other week I managed to win 2 German ebay auctions from the same guy once I had clarified that he would combine the postage. The auctions only had a couple of bidders. One was for a side panel, 2 chrome exhaust shields and a painted secondary exhaust head shield (one auction). The other was a NOS Cylinder head. A big box turned up today. Opening it up there was a lot of German newspaper in the box. I rummage through and come across an air filter box and cover with the i…

Hi guys,just would line a bit of info about restricting an R6. I've just passed my mod 1 on my yzf r125,doing mod 2 shortly.obviously I'm gonna be restricted to 33 bhp for 2 years.I wouldn't mind riding a bigger bike (r6) fir the 2years restricted.I'm not the type to pull up at traffic lights and try and race everything in sight I just want to get used to the weight and feel of a big bike,the power will come when my restriction gets lifted,so all I'd like to know is can it damage the bike in any way by restricting it??and is it safe to ride I.e when u pull away would you have to rev the arse off it to get it moving?? Advise please people,thanks

Hey all. I am looking to buy gear at the moment. Need some feedback from anyone who has ahd any experiences however insignificant they think they might be with regards to purchasing of motorcycling gear. I went into a dealers yesterday and looked around at some gear. asked the guy there. He recommended the RICHA Ballistic Set of leathers. They look pretty good. This is going to be my first set of gear as i,m starting out. Can anybody recommend or give me examples of what they would go for and why. I,m gonna go for leather for sure. But just in regards to maybe having this gear or knowing someone who has this gear or simila…

Hey guys it's been a while and thats because me and my dad have been working on a new project bike for when I'm 17 and will be using my dads YZF R125 so he bought a 1989 CBR400RR which had been streetfightered and we are currently restoring it back to a stock bike and will then be purchasing a TYGA body kit to bring it up to date (In terms of visual appeasement). Currently what has been done is we've rewired the bike so that the lights all work again and removed the old subframe since it had been cut in half and will be looking to buy a new one soon enough. Personally I am not a big fan of Honda's work but the TYGA kit looks like something especially nice. Pictures …

As a contractor I do have to think about where the next job is coming from. My present contract ends on 31st March and I have been in discussion about extending by contract but have been trying to hold out for more money. A bit stupid in these economic times, I know . For the last year or so I have been working for the NHS and we have all heard how badly they are going to be hit. That said I have spent the last year spending £21.6 million of theirs!. I am not getting anywhere fast looking for more cash and time is ticking so I have agreed a new one year contract beginning from 1st April. Pretty pleased but I do not have a clue what they want me to do yet. I only had a qu…
