Very impressed with this short clip. I'll show him when i pass my test I dread to think how many bones must get broken in learning stunts like that.

Anybody else going on the Yorkhill Easter Egg run. It's on the 8th of April in Glasgow and last year there were thousands of bikes involved (8k according to some estimates!) I reckon it'll be a great laugh and a good cause: http://glasgoweggrun.mag-uk.org/Main.php

Hi all. I am new to the forum having only joined a few moments ago. I have passed my direct access test this month and am after buying a YAMAHA yzf R6. There are a lot of models out there for sale and they were produced over many years. I have been trying to search the forums and bike magazine sites for reviews on the R6 as I am trying to find out what is the best year to buy or to avoid. I know they changed things like graphics and frame colour etc in 2003 but could someone please suggest a year bike that is considered as the one to have. Thanking you all in advance Andy.

Hi, How can I change my country flag to a welsh dragon ? Many thanks. ?

The little XT350 has now gone back to Wales.....sold to one of the guys in Cardiff! And I've bought this... 98 TDM850, genuine 8000 miles, and only 2 owners. Unfortunately it's 1500 miles away in Cardiff.........a dealer we know there gave me a hell of a deal on it, it's just been fully serviced, new front tyre, Euro plate, 12 months MOT (done yesterday) and 3 months tax! It's now stored at a mate's house till I can sort out the logistics to get it over to Spain!

Hay all. I bought an XJ 750 SECA and I am having trouble finding insurers that will insure it, being a US model. I found 2, but would like some more to get more quotes from. Got any sugestions on insurers that will insure it? Cheers. I should add that I am in the UK.

Whoo hoo. Did my 2 hour lesson with Andy from IRT today and loved it all. Soooo busy learning I had no flippin time to let me nerves take over. Nice to know even the experts aren't always perfect though. He kept nicking my YBR125 to demo stuff at the off road site where we started off (think it made him larf as he's all long and lanky and did look pretty funny) and he caught neutral going up from 1st to 2nd which I do too often for my liking. I find I have to make sure I've rolled the throttle totally off and kick like mad on the shifter but it's getting better. We then set off via Sproughton, Chantry & Stoke Park with the [got to be done] stop at Orwell…

Hi ya all, wondering if there are other riders in brisbane who go out on the highways, mountains or just cruising lets get some sort of club or group going there to enjoy the power and poise of yamaha

Hi everyone I'm an ex pom now living in Australia - near Melbourne. Lived in England until I was 40, then emigrated for a much warmer climate and brilliant biking roads. Now retired. Had mostly Hondas in the last 12 years - 3VFR's, 2 Blackbirds, Firestorm, Fireblade. I change regularly and currently have a 2005 VFR but getting bored and Honda seem to have lost interest in upgrading the VFR and Blackbird, so I am looking to get an FZ1S as soon as I sell the VFR. Look forward to reading posts and contributing, once I am an owner. If anyone is contemplating a holiday down under I will be happy to act as a guide, on roads around where I live (some of the best in A…

Hi, I have a 1996 250 Virago, it will run for a few mins but when it warms up or reaches higher revs it blows the main fuse, I replaced the rectifier/regulator unit, the one with the heat shrink on it, but the problem remains, if I replace the fuse it will blow again straight away, but if I leave for a while it will start again, I'm running out of fuses!!! Any ideas? Thanks, Colm.

does anyone know where i can get my hands on the roadhouse 4" slip-on? I have had it ordered for a little over a month. I guess they are way behind. After going to youtube and listening to different pipes on the 1300, roadhouse sounds to me worth waiting for. Type in vstar 1300 and you can hear the new vance and hines and the roadhouse. I think the roadhouse looks better too!
