The Bar

Hello, my name is Richard, and I'm a YZF addict. I passed my test recently, after years of RS125 'ing. Bought a really nice, no FANTASTIC!, Thundercat from WEBBS in Lincoln and cannot keep off it. My missus says I'm barred from it until she's at work tommorow. I'm counting the minutes and sort of just keep going out to the garage to look at it. I'm addicted. But any way that's not why I started this! I just wanted to say: Hello YAMAHA fans! What a great forum! Look forward to being here when I can't be out there!

Just a quick post to say hi to everyone and introduce myself as I don't think I bothered when I registered! I am $hando a 33 year old jock shanghaid from the motherland (Jockistan) to live amongst the southern shandy drinking, dungaree wearing sasenachs (not really true as just about everyone in London is from elsewhere :? ). Just recently got back into bikes after a long absence (last bike was when I was a spotty youth of 18). Anyway, came to the conclusion that my life would not be complete without a bike so decided to go for me test and get legal and my missus got me a 04 R6, as a result I must "put out" on demand :shock: So I guess it's true that there's no such…

Good afternoon to you all, Please some advice from experienced boarders would be great! I just got myself a lovely little yam RSX100, £260 for a 1990 in good nick. I do need to replace the tires, and was wondering where is the best place to get them. Im not necessarilary looking for the cheapest option, however other then ebay (and i have looked), i got no idea where to look! With cars, you can just take them down to the local garage and hey presto - new tires! How about with old bikes? Could i just call a yamaha dealer, do thety still make this type of tire? Any assistance you could give would be great, please excuse my ignorance on this matter but as i sa…

Hi, I'm Stuart, I am 37. I passed my bike test on thursday and am now the proud owner of a 2003 Thundercat

Hi, my name is Scott and i live in Aberdeen. Passed my full bike test a few months ago and bought my first bike a month ago, a 1991 Yamaha FZR 600 Genesis. Best thing i think i've ever bought. I am needing to replace the tyres on my bike. Due to the age of my bike, my tyres are really thin, the back tyre is 140/60/18 and the front is 110/70/17. I have 2 options at the moment which are: Dunlop GPR Alpha Bridgestone BT96 Has anyone got any opinions/experience with these tyres and also any recommendations for other tyres i could get which will acommodate my sizes? I was recommended Michelin Pilot Sports but i don't think they do my sizes. Any help here would…

ladies and gentlemen, i bought a 2002 Yamaha Bulldog ´02 from germany last october, rode it back to estonia in +5C and pouring rain. now enjoying the very first week of spring here, 130 km. loving every minute of it. also own a '93 Suzuki VX800, which is very similar, a V2-engined streetbike.

Hi all, just got myself a 2000 model R1. It's my first Yamaha after only having Fireblades upto now. Here's a pic a couple of pics

Hi I'm quite new to riding although i've been a pillion for 20 years or so. I've got a '95 TDR125 that needs a bit of work on but have been having a lot of fun on it. Any advice on best places to get fairings and spare parts etc greatly appreciated. Hope to chat soon Weeble :-)

Hi all. I am a newbie into the biking world at 25. I am looking at getting an XT125R Brand new with the view that I may have it a year before taking my test. I know nothing of bikes currently so buying new will give me the ultimate peace of mind. Are there any owners of the XT125R on here. Should I post in the relevant bike section for owners views. Thanks in advance.

Howdy all! Thought i'd say hi as im new here. Got a few friends who ride bikes and they've finally given me the bug. I've put in for my bike test and im just waiting for some times and dates etc. Looking to get myself a FZ6 when i pass my test and i guess if i had one, this is the place to get advice. Hoping to learn a bit from you guys too! Sorry to bore you, but just thought i'd explain myself a bit. Cheers Weasle!

Hi all, my names alex, currently riding silver YBR-125 Custom, and its nice to 'meet' you all.

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!!

Well hello one and all! My name is Bex, I passed my test in June and have recently bought an '09 xj6n in white. Very nice it is too 'cept i dropped it on my first attempt at riding hey ho...very little damage sustained so not too sad. Anywho, I'm very new to the world of biking as I got into it thru my now ex boyfriend (who decided to dump me the week before I got the bike) so I need some new biker buddies! Also new to the world of forums soooo yep, anyone who would like to say hello pls feel free!

Hi All, Got an email reminder thing the other day so thought I'd pop along and say "hello". I forgot that I'd registered here way back in the dim and distant Still got my FZR, but I've made it into my track bike now. Got a CBR400 for the roads now (Oh the shame of it!!! :lol: ) Well, nice to meet you all, and I'll try not to be so forgetful in the future LOL! Loz x

Just wanted to say hello, i have just joined your forum i passed my das test in november last year i had a vfr 400 which i've just sold i now have an R6 on a w reg and it's the best bike ever.

I posted this in the new introduction section as well. Sorry for the redudancy. Hi, New to this forum but not to bikes. I'm thinking about getting an older 2 stroke and have settled on either a '73 RT1 360 enduro or a '79 DT 250F. As many of you know these are enduro street/trail type bikes. Anyone have an opinion one way or the other? If you do I would appreciate your input. Thanks, Dave

Hi, Just joined the site. I had a look at it earlier today at work and you seem like a decent bunch My boyfriend has an R1 as well as several other bikes. He is mad on bikes, goes all over following the GP. I've finally agreed to go out on the R1 for the 1st time next week!!! I am so scared, but I want to do it. Just not sure how I'm going to hang on!! I thought I'd better join a club so that I can learn a bit about bikes......I have horses so if anyone needs advice on them...I'm your woman. Maria.
