Hi there my name is Mike Bell

Does any body else have a T80 they use on here as they are getting pretty rare 40 left on the road tax and tested, i use mine everyday to get to college and general buzzing around, not bad for a 19 year old bike its done 4,500 miles since August, I have to thrase it abit in 2nd and 3rd but she gets up to 45 nicely. She is abit ratterly at low speeds due to needing valves clearances doing and abit of a whine when hot but she does what she does nicely and glad I got here Instead of a c90 better fuel range and handling and just a good laugh. I heard they do a 2 stroke version but less mpg and not as reliably.

good idea and could make a difference if the UK had it http://greensboro.injuryboard.com/motorcycle-accidents/new-law-in-punishes-endangering-motorcyclists.aspx?googleid=296494

Hi all, Just picked up a nice set of used Scorpion cans & link pipes at what I think was good value. Now, they don't have a BS stamp, but on the flip side they aren't stamped as 'not for road use' Reckon the bike will pass MOT with them on? It's a while off, and no big job swooping them back off for the test, but I'm curious!

Hi, has anyone tried a 70 profile on the front of an 2002 R6, I need new tyres and the 60 profile is often more expensive or not available. Please I know tyres are black and round and there is one on the front and one on the back.

Some of his friends (or are they) got togeather and did a message in the sky for him !

Saturday last, I pulled full maintenance on the 650. 26,000 miles. Changed oil, Castrol 20-50 Power RS V–Twin 4T, new Fram filter, changed differential oil, cleaned K&N air filter, replaced fuel filter, tire air pressure check, drained remaining fuel (1/2 gallon) refueled with Plus fuel, added Marine formula Sta-Bil. Checked engine for signs or oil leaks. Found small amount near neutral safety switch, removed switch, cleaned area with brake cleaner, made thin gasket, used tiny amount of Permatex Red High Heat gasket maker, re-installed switch. Went to car wash, washed entire engine area with engine cleaner cycle, thoroughly washed rest of bike, wiped down, ro…

Hi, Thanks to a lot of you I have been able to sort out a few problems with my 1982 DT125 LC. Today I'm going to try to get it running, is there anything I need to do before I attempt to get it running? I know I need to bleed the oil pump but that's it really. Also they are designed to mix the 2 stroke oil and the fuel separately, but would I just be able to pre mix it and put it straight into the fuel tank? Thanks, Ollie.

I have an issue with the lights on my XVS125 Dragstar. The headlight and the light in my speedo (and therefore I guess the taillight) seem to dim and brighten randomly, they literally flick between bright and about half brightness as I'm riding along. The only thing that I can guess is that something is partially shorting somewhere but I don't know where to start looking. Could I get some suggestions that an idiot (me) with a multimeter could check to make sure everything is working before I end up paying someone? I also think that the battery is draining down a bit as the starter does seem to chug over slower when starting at the moment, so i'm going to take ou…

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone is heading to the NEC for the bike show over the next week? I'm keen to hear peoples reports/Opinions. All being well, I'll be there next Saturday and I cant wait! Fingers crossed I don't have a repeat of last years fiasco where we sat on a plane for hours waiting for snow to clear - never did get off the ground

Hi all, sprayed both the bikes last week, are you supposed to leave the stuff on all winter, if you wash the bike do you have to re-apply? (not something I wanna do again in a hurry) I anticiapte using both bikes all winter Any advice welcome Thanks

As some of you will know, due to an accident a few years ago and no money I've been lazy in booking my DAS after 4 years on a CBT BUT I've been training this week at Ridesure at Dunsfold park, great place to learn as they've got the whole facility off road and good bikes (unlike some I saw at the test centre...) So far I can't recommend them enough! Started yesterday and completed by MOD 1 with 1 minor (not looking for cars whilst taking it off the stand for the manual handling.... ) Got my Mod 2 booked next Wednesday and would be lying if I said I was 100% confident, but the CBF 500 that I've been on is far more stable and confidence inspiring than the SR! …

The style of bike may not be everyones cup of tea, but hats off to the bloke for all the hard work and effort he's put into the bike, certainly rocks my boat!! http://homepage.ntlworld.com/shaun.wainford/SWSVXThmb.html http://homepage.ntlworld.com/shaun.wainford/Progress2.html
