Hi guys, Im a newbie on this site! I ride a Yamaha FZ 750 streetfighter, which is nearly finished now! Andy

Well iv decided after months of procrastination to buy a new bike. just put a deposit down on an 08 ZX-6R, take delivery in 2 weeks. great deal and £200 fully comp. looks like my fzr1000 will be going soon!

i'm shortly to become 17 and have heard all sorts of stories as to what licenses i can get and which bikes i can ride on them. i just need a bit of clarification over the issue. I have my provisional license and have done my cbt at the moment regards adam

OK so I have my first dunes trip planned to Oregon and it's close to the coast so I ve heard that my bike will rust easily from the salty air? One guy said to coat your bike with WD-40???? Have you guys experienced riding by the ocan sand dunes and getting rusted out afterwards? What's the best way to combat this??? Thanks Kevin

hi everyone. am looking to upgrade my little DT50 MX for something that will let me keep up with lorries on dual carriageways. must have a 6 speed gearbox, and preferably enduro style with an electric start and 12v electrics. methink even the newer DTs' are only five speed and the only other 6 Speeds around are Derbi sendas and some of the later Suzuki bikes. anyone know of a 50cc that will fit the above criteria? (or better yet, is selling on?) - Steve

hi everyone. just a quick question i got a yamaha DT50MX, for its size it is a heavy bike and has knobbly tires, i usually drop to 3rd gear for cornering, about 25mph. how far can i go over (lean) before the tyres let go? (and they are brand new knobblies) on dry tarmac on a good day. i tried getting my knee down a few months ago on my sisters pushbike and ended up in somebodies garden with my jeans ripped and a lot of skin missing from my right knee, ever since then ive been a bit aprehensive about really going over incase i end up on my arse again

Greetings from NZ Am a new boy here but do the forum bit all over the world most around the TZ's I own. They are: 1) A schmick TZ750 Twinshock in KR yellow black colour scheme 2) A McIntosh TZ350F that I race hee in NZ and Australia. 3) A rev cylinder TZ250U Plus have also just bought a very tidy OW01 which I kid you not is the first 4 stroke streetbike I have owned since a CB100 Honda. Have had various other street bikes at various times but most just do the post classic race stuff these days. The other street bikes I have owned being an RD350B, RD350LC, TZR250, RZ500. TZ's of 54mm stroke and pre 1980 or so are very much a speciality in the house with…

well im amazed it lasted 2 years but the urge to the dark side was too strong why...cos this bike is ridden all year round (well not in foot deep snow that i'll admit to) and it was looking sorry for itself
