Have only just noticed a wee Ad' screen at the bottom of the YOC>General area>, its for a dating agency called www.plentyoffish.com, lmao, it does'nt somehow conjure up nice images?, I've nothing against corporate advertising but I'm afraid the name 'plentyoffish' seems a little like 'too much information' this kind of thing just leaves a bad taste in your mouth !

i've made a few posts here and there since joining a few weeks ago, but as of yet havent actually introduced myself. My names Nick, I'm 22 and ride a Yami YZF-R125 in red / white / black. Am fairly new to biking, my only previous bike was a 125 Sukida Patriot, not the nicest bike to ride, and i cant say i exactly felt safe on it, but it was cheap and got me from A to B! Then i got my hands on my current bike and have never looked back, have got a new found enjoyment out of riding and have actually found myself taking it out for the fun of it instead of just the essential treck to work.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2...15875-21644074/ now in my opinion the nuts and bolts of this story has no hard standing, can anyone from Tesco lend any meat to this survey?, well I phoned and asked and their spokes person said "nhaaa haa, sorry we dont do spokes" I would like to enter my own hard line probing on this matter ! A: there has been an up-surge of 'water-bombing' by kids from high rise flats over the summer months. B: 1 out of 10 ferret owning motorcyclists 'who expressed a preference', said their ferrets preferred the 'Johnny suit' to their owners purchase, namely 'ferret 1st time' motorbike waterproofs' from 'Oxford'. …

Hi all, First post!! I have an 84' TT600 that was recently givin to me. I pretty much had to put the thing together from the ground up because it was in pieces. I got it all together, hooked up the electrical, and went to test the spark against the block. The odd thing is, i am getting very strong spark, but it isnt just sparking on the power stroke, but a constant, steady spark throughout all four cycles. Then just a few minuites ago i pulled the spark plug, put it back in, and there was no spark at all. I was thinking it was likely either the CDI or the ignition coil, but that is just guessing. Anyone have any idea what my problem might be?
