The Bar

Hello All. I am planning a move to Derbyshire within the next couple of months and was wandering if there was any biking clubs or regular get together's organised by people on here? I know there is normally a bike meet at Matlock on a Saturday and Sunday, but is there anyone on here who fancies a ride around the Dales? Hope to hear from you soon.

I've really started hitting the weights down the gym and I'm gonna start using creatine again. But I can't remember- how much I should take to load up with at first - how much to take once the loading up period is finished - how long to use it for. Anyone got more of a clue on this than me?

Well as the title says i am a new boy here first time i have had a Yamaha. I have been messing about with bikes since i was 16 at the age of 49 decided to get a full license have had that since Feb this year. Brought my self a gt 750 Kawasaki to start with but parked it under a car in may now have a fzs 600 fazer in black a very sweet little bike.

Im having problems with my bike and need a little advice. 1. sometimes when in neutral the gear shift won't go into first unless i roll the bike forwards. 2. sometimes when i take off and then change to second it goes into neutral (even with a good flick of my foot) 3. when i try to start the bike (with neutral light on)it won't, unless i turn the back wheel a little Could someone suggest the problem, cheers

Hello all, can anyone give me a definitive answer to these questions? I have just bought a 1979 SR500,it came from S Africa in 1996,it has never been registered in the UK,I have the S African Logbook and a customs release form,I have spoken to DVLA but came away no wiser!apart from that I will be able to get an age related plate. As it is 30 years old do I need to get it (1) SVA'd or will an MOT be OK? (2) Will it require Type approval if so how do I get it? (3) What customs forms will I need if any? I have looked at the VOSA,C&E and DVLA websites,but they all give ambigious information! Thanks for any information (am pulling out what little hair I have left) …

As my YBR is still within the manufacturer's warranty period, I sent off the change of ownership slip to the address in my owner's manual in September but haven't heard back from them. Do they acknowledge this normally? Hubby did the same for his baby Varadero and Honda sent him a response and some other stuff within a few weeks.
