Hi guys, like I said. I picked up my New YBR125 today from the dealer. Here's the bike at the petrol station getting her first fuel injection... (Taken on ma phone) http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs246.snc4/39663_103606376362584_100001396662862_26533_6089435_n.jpg Iv'e ridden her about 30 miles today, keeping the revs below 5000 (almost) Was gonna take her up to high beach for a bit, but wouldn't have been able to enjoy the National Speed limit roads keeping the revs low even in top gear. So I took a ride down to Leyton, Got my hair cut, then went up to walthamstow and the down to Angel Islington and Hackney. Started to look a bit grey (rain), …

So i went for a ride today in the hills, about a halfhour from me, a place called woodhead (aka snake pass) and i could hear that my bike was louder, so i stopped and realized the usual exhuast sound wasnt coming from the end of the exhuast, instead theres a hole at the start of my pipe so it sounds a tad loud, well it did anyway

Just a quick post to say hello to everyone on here! My names Joel, I'm 21 and I am from Oxford. My main ride is a Triumph Daytona 955i 99' but I am currently building a custom Yamaha cafe racer. I have joined the forums just to see what other people are up to, in terms of bikes that is. I have some cool ideas of customs I would like to build around Yamaha's and over time I hope to hear some opinions. Just a bit of background info, I worked in F1 for 5 years and I am about to start studying physics at university. Best regards to everyone, Joel

Hi guys, I've got a few spots of rust on the frame of my lovely Drag.. they were there when bought. Can anyone recommend some paint I can get (preferably in a store rather than online), and a method for application? I'm guessing it's a case of sanding the rust down and then applying, but I'm not very good with this sort of thing so any advice would be appreciated. If it isn't raining on Sunday I'd like to give the bike some TLC. Cheers, John
