The Bar

I've found it - the bike that makes me grin every time i see it. Much as I love newer bikes, i'm drooling over an RD350 LC - Kenny Roberts Replica. Its owned by friend of my dads, but only comes out once a year for MOT. Its the real thing, not a cheap copy, in immaculate condition, very very low miles, one owner from new. But, its not for sale at the min But thats a good thing cos gives me time to scrape every penny i can to hopefully be in a position where i can bring it home someday. Any of you RD experts know how much such a minter would make??

Hi everyone. i just bot a fz6. was wonder whether the headlight is both on when low beam or one on when low beam.only 1 of my headlight is on when low beam. both will be on only when its on high beam.

Hey there everyone. I have just purchased another FZ400 (well i'm hoping thats what it is) The problem that I have is the log book I was given for the bike does not state what model it is. It states that it was imported in 1994. It also shows that is a 1985 model. The only thing that it says about the bike is that it is yamaha 400cc bike. Why doesn't it show what model it is? I'm curious to know whether it IS an FZ or an FZR? Any help much appreciated Phil 4 wheels moves your body - 2 wheels moves your soul !

I am trying to find a flywheel puller for my 1975 DT175. I am able to find one that is supposed to fit a 1976. Anyone know if these two bikes use a different puller?

anyone have ear piercings? what's it like using a motorcycle helmet with the piercings in?, especially if they are fresh... imparticular scaffolds

tyre prices have shot up in the last month and a half !, my local bike shop has increased the cost of a Bridgestone BT 45 from £65 to a whopping £80, with a 'good-will'' reduction of a fiver, £75, by my rough calc' thats nearly a 25% increase in just short of 2 months, a 'shares' opportunity, or a rip off ?

Hi all, i have a rare (or supposedly rare) tzr 4hw, its gettin the bigboy racing look with the twin 6pots etc, modified fairings paintwork etc, im doing all work myself while that strange cult that is the DVLA look after my licence, my question to the people that know is..... what wheels could i happily install without throwing the balance of the bike off and leaving me and me pretty new paintjob littered over the nearest A road. Many thanx in advance... Ryan

ITV4 coverage of this years TT is superb anyone agree ? also well done to Michael Dunlop and YAMAHA today, your uncle would be proud

Just like to say Hi from Sunny Southport (UK). I have just bought into the Yamaha Club with a 1999 Thunderace . I was a Triumph worshipper until my '96 Sprint's little ends went and basically the bike isn't worth repairing as the cost of parts is too high . Have been looking around at Thunderaces for a while now and finally found one. Needs a bit of work doing but easy bits not like the sprint! Whole different ride to the Sprint but I'll get used to it (needs a better seat!) Jobs to do: Fastener kit for panels and screen as some are missing/wrong ones Down pipes need replacing Brakes need overhaul Suspension needs to be softened!…

I'm new to the forum, thought I'd say hi. I've just bought a beat up old M reg xv250 which is in the process of being turned into a custom bobber/chopper type thing for the sunny days, half done, be ready by winter! Any one on here ride one of these? Chris

A while ago I bought an aluminium platform thang with a couple of wee fans set into it (its a lap-top coolermabob), anyway have found another use for it, in this stifling heat-(its 23c outside right now), you can place it on the floor, connected to a long USB cable, and put your feet on it, TSSsssssss blissnessnessness

Was reading the sunday papers and saw this in the free magazine, and thought of you OG its USB, hygeinic and wipe-clean

Hi New to forum, back to biking. Just recently bought an RD350F2 to ride for the summer, back tyre is about done and wondered if any RD riders can suggest the best tyres for the summer months. Hopefully will be mainly dry miles unless caught out by the weather. Since buying the bike have noticed that it is really skittish when on the white lines!! Sometimes scaringly so as I whip out to overtake then again when crossing to pull in. Is this normal for the narrow tyred RD's. Current tyres are Avon Roadrunners which I used to use on my RD200 many many years ago. Any suggestions welcome cheers Dave

recently dragged the ty out of its hidey hole, and with a new tank of fuel in it started right up, its in good nick and was rebuilt a few years ago. i want to sell it, but dont know what price to start it at! anyone have an idea? thanks

hi, i have just bought a dragstar xvs 125 and i was hoping someone knows of a place where i can get a good rain cover from, cheers

hey, Does anyone know where I can find detailed info about the MOT for bikes in the UK? Ideally some sort of checklist. cheers!

what brakedown company do you all use , and are they any good,i used to use the AA but is their anything out their in the UKbetter.

Went for a run on bike the other day and soon realized something was wrong and after a quick look noticed rear tyre pressure was low (12psi ) and there was a small dent in the rim does any one know if you can get these repaired ? in Scotland if possible. Had a quick look on ebay and found someone selling wheel with disc and sprocket fitted and brand new tyre Bridgestone battleaxe bt021 all for £107 delivered, was needing a new tyre anyway ! Also anyone use bt021 on R6 ? or sports bike are they any good ? i usually use BT014s
