Seemed good manners to say hello to you guys as I've recently joined the site. I returned to biking some time ago but am presently down to 2 FS1E's and no big bike due to space and money issues. I hope to get something bigger in the not to distant future but will likely be a 2 stroke Yam of some description! Anyway, great site, and thanks for letting me join! Regards Rob

Hi guys ,, just joined this site im new to 2 wheels but had an xj650 trike before, ive now bought a lovely fzr250 so thought i would look for a yammy owners club and found ................. YOU lol x x chrissie

hey all im a newby to this site and a newby to the world of motorcycling. Just purchased my first bike an fzr 250 and having a ball anyone interested in a chat and maybe a few tips...?

Look's like today's the day for new recruits. I've been lurking for some time now - just thought I'd break the ice an' say hello. I've returned to biking after a 15 year lay-off bought a shagged foxeye in view of a quick spruce up, and got kind of carried away with an over the top refurb (or it will be - when I can organise my lazy arse). So, do the new blokes get the beer's in?

Just thought I would introduce myself as I've been lurking around for a while now. New(ish) rider, did my CBT last september and bought an SR125, which has been great fun, looking forward to summer and not having my visor steam up in the cold! Considering doing my full test when money permits but for the time being I'm happy on my 125, and the sense of satisfaction when topping 60mph on that thing is still great fun. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Also been looking around the Bike Chat Forums but this place seems much less bitchy!!

Hi folks Just recently got myself a 1990 XJ900 so i thought i should join you lot and say hello! Really pleased with it so far,i just need to get a pair of new cans for the back as they have been repaired with chemical metal and are a bit ropey! Donald

Had a fantastic ride out today, apart from a few minor discrepancies... Start of the ride some dick slams his anchors on to avoid a Feasent.... Bang my mate clips his flank ripping his R6 in half! (He's ok) So we wait about an hour he goes home, we set off again! Unreal ride... Just going round a big long roundabout into the town i live, like iv done a hundred times! then oh no don't look now the dreaded patch of oil! Dropped the bike about 40mph, slid watching as the bike spun into the curb... Nice!

I have an old 1988 fz 600 cc bike that i just picked up tonight. to the tune of $350.00 USD I am hugely excited for what the future hold for me and my bike hopefully not a lot of heartache...please God. but yest its red white and black i believe. clock reads 5996 or something like that. I have posted a help add earlier and no one responded to it i wished that people would be cause seeing as how this is my first bike that i have ever owned i want it to be a good one that will last me a while one that i won't grow out of or give up on. I not one of those posers who goes out and get the fancy expensive riding gear and all that and a new bike. 1 I can't afford all that plus …

hi everyone, i know this could be a simple problem, but i took my bike out today for the first time in the rain, i only had the bike 3 days, it is a 1998 dt 125, for some reason it keeps just dying on me as i ride down the road, i went for a ten mile ride and it must have died about 5 times, anyone could help me would be greatly apreciated.

Has anyone else received an message in their inbox requiring them to use a third party opening system ?? the opening page has "Please Help" ... Thats All ..? The member has NO details listed, joined yesterday,

Hi guys, found this forum by accident and it looks great! I had my beloved 1999 R6 stolen in November from the Derby area, the thieving scumbags took it in the middle of the night from outside the house!!!! the police had a report that it was being ridden in Leicester 4 days later, but did nothing about it until the following weekend (11 days later) by which time the bike had disappeared. I'm not expecting to get her back now, she's either in bits or is possibly out of the country, but I thought it worth a mention on here just in case anyone knows anything etc. She's very distinctive in Yellow and has a Vance & Hines end can, and she's also been lowered to…

i've had my xs650 chop a while now and its still not roadworthy, every single thing i've looked into on it, taken apart, tried to fix has been botched, never in my life have i come across a so badly put together bike, i suppose thats what i get for buying off fleabay without going and having a look first, let this be a lesson to us all, NEVER and i mean NEVER EVER buy a bike without going and having a look at it first. you would think after 43 years on this world i would have known better but i jumped in feet first cos it was cheap, what a fucking disaster, every nut and bolt ive come across so far has been half arsed, its cost me more than i paid for it in parts. its got…

Guy and gals , need advice from the gang have seen a 2001 dragstar 1100 im interested in buying, it has all the gear on it and looks very tidy. only covered 3,400 miles which is big time low. there is no mention of service history and it is a private seller. what service intervals should it have and at worst what are these bikes known to play up on? your help and guidance would bez appreciated.

Got a big service the other day. They recon my shock is finished and i need new chain and sprocks. Shock seems fine to me but they thinks its total done, chain and sproks is on the last nitch so that's fair play in 1000 miles or so i recon. Shocks seem awful expensive. If mine is shagged then whats the best replacement? Dont seem to be that much choice on ebay and some are a total ripoff. One company refurbishes them think its worth a try? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAMAHA-YZF-600-YZF-7...%3A1%7C294%3A50 also got a rear flat tyre last night just left my bike outside my mates house, am guted. can you get them fixed, its almost new!!

Well it seems to be the fashion around here to introduce yourself so here goes....... I'm TQ, I'm 21. I used to ride bikes a few years ago (Gilera DNA 50 and Honda NSR 125 between the ages of 16 and 17) but haven't for the last few years. I've wanted to get back on a bike ever since I sold the last one so recently I finally got round to it and booked some lessons. I did my CBT yesterday, got my Module 1 booked for the 15th and all going well will have my full license about a week after that. Picking up a 1997 XJ600N tomorrow which I'm going to have to just sit and look at for a couple of weeks before I pass my test but then I don't think you'll be able to keep me of…

Hi, First off, hi guys! I'm a newbie (both to biking and this forum) and I'm looking forward to getting involved in the big bad world of motorcycling... Anyway! After taking my CBT I've fallen in love with biking and I want to pass my test. I'm looking at getting a 125cc to practice on and have narrowed it down to the Honda CG125 and the Yamaha SR125; does anyone have any experience with either of their bikes? Also, I want to receive an A2 license and as some of you may know this requires the bike the test is taken on to be between 120-125cc and capable of 100kmh (62.5 mph). I realise it may be a bit of a bone-shaker, but will the Yamaha be capable of thi…

Hello to all on here.... I'm Bob and I'm new here.............. Anyways............been riding bikes since I was 8-ish and am now 48 -ish so..........a long time..... Had gawd knows how many bikes over the years.....first 'on the road and legal' bike being a Gilera 50 Trial at 16 back in '77.............then a TS 250 Suzuki at 17........always Moto Xed (or Scrambled as it was known as in my youth!) on and off over the years breaking far too many bones on the way.was never really any good at it.just liked having the crack I suppose........eventually winding up aquiring a very rough old SE750 (what later evolved into the Virago basically) which I more or le…

was out a run today and was sitting in a line of moving traffic at about 50-55 when this plukey-faced arsehole in a corrolla passed out the line of traffic,3 or 4 cars and myself over double white line on a bend!!!! the wee fecker then pulled into a garage about 500 yards down the road to wave at the other tit that he was racing. i pulled up next to him in the garage and gave him a mouthful, told him i was an off-duty traffic cop(hee-hee) and i would pass on his details to the local cops who would be up to visit him during the course of the mouthful he admited that he only had a provisional to which i told him that as that was the case they would lift the car and …
