As I feel the weight of impending fatherhood (any day now) and I have sold some of my toys, reducing my bikes down to 5 at the moment (and 1 kit car), I feel the need for a futile and rash purchase, maybe a v-max. Maybe I could street fighter it, then add a turbo? R1 USDs on the front? Oh god, I'm drooling into the keyboard.

i have been absent for a while from this forum, but in the mean time, i have been restoring a Vintage SR125 (1982), which has also ben my sole means of transport. last night, some pollock reversed in to it causing a not cheap amount of damage. bearing in mind that i have spent in excess of £900 getting it up to an almost compleate stage (just neding a fuel tank re-spray, an exhaust and a left hand side panel) this guy reverses in to it and causes this damage: A smashed head lamp fixing, bent brackets, snapped mud guard, break lever snapped off, break pedal bent in to engine casing, forks bent, bearing set/ yolk bit that connects to the frame is damaged.in all, i requi…

With temperatures around 15c and not a cloud in the sky....I decided to go and explore the Sierra De Castril natural park in the province of Granada, Spain! It starts about 30 miles from where I live, and once you get into the natural park itself, it's all dirt tracks and gravel around the network of lakes. I would estimate you could go for about 40 miles into it....and not see a soul. The views in the mountains are amazing! Then as I got further into the park I could see the lakes... Nice backdrop for the XT.... These seem to go for miles, breaking off into small rivers and streams... After about …

hi everyone

Hi I am cyco900 live in mid Wales. have a crashed TDM900 at moment. Am a member BOF mcc as ya can see in my avtar. going for a look around your forums now.

i bought an xj600 diversion and after reading the reviews i found it to be a fairly fast comfortable user friendly bike so why do people slag them off so much i know it doesnt perform like an r1 type of bike but its good for someone on a budget like me and apart from slightly lacking the gut wrenching accelaration like some others i find it hard to pick any faults with it so whats the beef why do people seem to hate them ?? do you!!

Hi all, Does anyone have a recommendation/comments when it comes to getting those extra or ultra bright light bulbs? I am looking at replacing the R1 bulbs with some Piaa bulbs, I know they are not cheap but if I get twice the dazzle it might make people see me , I have not seen any other bulbs that offer twice the light output for the same current. Thanks

As I have suffered from condensation on my bike while stored in a wooden shed with a concrete floor (ventilated to a small extent) I am considering lining the interior with plywood, does anyone have any ideas etc as to whether it would be worthwhile insulating the walls as well please?

And he's 45! have a good day Hillbilly!

I'm new to the site and would just like to say a quick hi to everyone one. So glad I stummbled across this site, it seems so full of help and info. My names Gareth, I'm from Leicestershire and I have a 2001 R6. If anyone is intrested in meeting up locally for a ride out with myself and a couple of my mates (R1's) don't hesitate to contact me. We're not pro's, just a decent small group who enjoy riding out.

Just wanted to say Hi, I'm a newbie

Hello everyone, I've just purchased a mint 04 plate r6, it has 3300 miles, braided brake hoses, polished sprocket, full set of bungs, and is absolutly spotless. This is my first bike, I used to own a twin turbo supra and was a member of www.MKIVsupra.net, I had to sell the car recently though due to the wife being preggers, and the car was costing far too much. I'm also moving out to a bigger house and the supra just sapped to much money from me every month. I decided that I still wanted something that would make me smile everytime I went to work, so I've booked a direct access course next week and bought this little beauty. She's sitting in my garage now wait…
