I have nearly completed the restoration of my 1970 BSA and need to replace just one more part, the turn indicator switch. The bike did not come with turn signals and I retrofitted a set of Yamahas and replaced the Lucas horn/dip switch with a Yamaha horn/dip/turn indicator switch. This was about 1975 or earlier. Since I was working with a parts guy I have no idea what model or year bike the switch came from and without it I cannot get a part number. The switch is marked "Yamaha, YHA 203" on the underside. If anyone has a vintage bike with that switch I would greatly appreciate the model and year. Thanks.

Why? Why me? I am trying to sell a bike at the moment, not the best time of year to sell a bike, but its a winter bike - originally bought for the wife. Now we are with sprog its surplus to requirements. So why do I only get calls from fuggin' idiots? I had a couple turn up last weekend, I rolled it out of the garage and they both had a look of mild disgust on their faces, I knew it wasnt going to go well. I suppose its partly my fault, the advert says W reg bike (old W reg) £300. But this pair thought £300 got them a new W reg bike, after some kicking of tires and poking and asking some fairly insulting questions, they told me they had just been to a bike sho…

Great start to the new year!! Dropped my bike yesterday 55 platye FZ6, luckily the only damage is a scratched clutch cover and bent clutch lever. Flipping peeved off about it though, can’t believe I did it, just stopped was talking to the missus, leant the bike over onto the kick stand but what hadn’t I done? Put the bleeding kick stand down that’s what! got to the point of no return and down it went, bugger! So where can I get some touch up paint for the clutch cover and where is the best place to get spares from? Happy new year!

Did about 100 miles on the XT today.....some of the places you may have seen before though. The lakes at Castril.... I then crossed into the Jaen province across the Sierra de Cazorla, then back into Granada arriving at Lake Negratin near Zuhar. Then over to Baza and back towards Huescar through Cullar. I stopped off in Galera on the way back and took some shots of the cave district. So how is the weather in Britain at the moment?

Hiya all. I made a singlespeed-autoclutch trasher into a dirttool to learn my 8YO son safely how to ride mopeds. Started with showing son there is no shame in riding slowly, its ok to highside or lowside as you please. Nephews, friends and girlfriends of both son and daughter joined us, helping to conquer the dirt. Had a few somers great fun untill the bike was utterly worn out. Somewhere a Suzuki LT50 entered the stage, it was mega great fun untill the cylinder started puking pistons. Made a goodlooking frankensteiner, Puch 2speed manual clutch 50cc engine in a DT50MX frame. That lasted only 1 summer.... Next i bought myself a YZ125, refurbished it and had some…
