. These are my favorite motorcycle commercials or at least the ones I remember the most ... what are yours? . If you have ever ridden one doing sixty mph peg the throttle Then the v boost kicks in and the rear tire lights up - WOW ! ! ! ................ . Who can ever forget ... Let the good times roll ............... . And I have to say this commercial is just A beautiful piece of artwork - pure Italian to its core ............... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4kJqTiL38k . Hope you had fun . Karen

hi all iv just ridden an electric moped!!!! well its actually a pushbike in the shape of a moped but i was pleasantly suprised!! they have lights, indicators, a horn and it can do 70mph up hill!!! the main good thing is you dont need to pay tax, insurance and rising petrol costs! its something like 7p and 4 hours to charge the 24volt battery and you get about 28 miles out of a single charge but you can pedal the thing as well as use the throttle! iv had a blast and there great fun and quite nippy! i am seriously thinking about spending my hard earned cash on one of these! brand new they cost from £1000 to £1500 but when you compare that to a new 50cc scooter, insuran…

. WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY . It is not detailed by any means for there are many issues of physics, air temperature, elevation and so on which affect that which you are about to read ... furthermore for this example I are using a non-computerized, non-fuel-injected, general four stroke machine with a breaker-point ingnition ... such as a motorbike built within the 1960s ... as an example a 1968 Moto Guzzi V1000 Ambassador ... ... Thus consider this to be a general outline or overview of that which happens when ... you ... the rider ... get onto your motorcycle. . As you turn the key it must properly engage the ignition to move the pins into the c…

Hi everyone! My son just bought a 1986 Radian - loves it, running great but much to my embarassment I`m having trouble with the oil change!! For one thing, it is very difficult to tell the oil level from the viewer which is either too dirty or maybe so full that I can`t get a level. Next, where will i find the oil filterÉÉ rather not take the whole thing apart - I`m sure it is behuind the cover just above the filler cap but I`d like to be sure. Finally, what filter do you suggest and do we know the approximate oil capacityÉÉ thanks so much - Doc

,,, And proud owner of an '05 Yam YBR 125. Had it a week and loving it, great little bike Anyway just thought I'd say hi, looking forward to reading lots more about these Yams and having the pleasure of chatting to you all Thanks for looking!

Hi, Just wanted to say hello. Only recently stumbled onto your site and thought I'd sign up. My old FZR 1000 will be twenty years old soon and I suspect the newness may be wearing off, so I could be looking for brains to pick. The old girl's been with me for twelve years now so I have done one or two bits with her, as you do. Anyway, hello, and if you see a Marlboro coloured exup in the Yorkshire dales please give us a wave. Cheers

anyone on here get this little paper gem posted through their door ? the centre page had a cafe racer SR500 pic, could someone post this up, stunning bike btw

Hello, im new to the forum. i used to own a baotian 50cc 4 stroke ped but i got tired of it being so slow. So i sold it for £400 and put £100 towards it and bought one off autotrader. Now, there is only a small prob with it as it has manual choke. When i do not press the choke while riding the bike crawls to 30, but if i press it in say halfway the bike will shoot off and do a nice 55MPH. If i press the choke in on idle it will cut the bike out so im a little confused. How can i fix it so the bike will do a nice 55MPH without the need to choke it. Thanks.

well i did my CBT the other day and came away with that A4 paper that says i am ok to ride a 125cc motorbike it was a good bit of fun with the guys and not forgetting the lady instructor at motor tech at Manchester, i came away with some more knowledge and a little more experience, and was not made to feel that they were trying to teach an old dog new tricks they were serious but laid back a little with it, if folks did something wrong they were shown with respect how to do it the right way, they did not shout and ball at folks, they realy put folks at ease, i would recomend the folks at motor tech to any one who is looking to do there CBT. well i came out of the…

Hey guys, I need to buy a new suit for my upcoming races. I don’t wanna spend thousands of dollars for a suit. So I actually need one below 1000. I came across this website where I saw this “Willow” leather suit for $599. It s actually cheaper than I expected so I would like to have your opinion before buying… You can see it here http://www.agvsport.com/One-Piece-Racing-Suits/Willow/Willow.php Thanks Andy

Ok, so its's a bit of a random thing to post, granted. But it made me think and i was just wondering if anyone else has ever tried this. I follow a blog called Hotukdeals and one of the deals on there today is an "Ultrasonic Cleaner" which is 14.99 from amazon. I was reading through the comments and one guy said he uses them to clean carb's. Obviously you'd have to be careful what you used in it but might be worth a shot. I get my bonus later this month from work and im pretty sure the idea of the bonus is to blow it as soon as you can on random things so i might give it a go. The Ultrasonic Cleaner is normally used to clean things like jewellery, CDs etc…
