    Hello !!! I am new to this. My name is Jim & I have recently purchased a DT125R to commute from Cambridge to Melbourn (in England), which is a journey of about 14 miles each way, in order to save my job as a Buyer for a roofing company ... I am now waiting to do a CBT, such that I can legally ride - I used to ride a little Suzuki ER50 back in the early 80's, but that was a long time ago!!! I am a little nervous & am in need of getting hold of some reasonably cheap protective clothing, i.e. jacket etc - does anybody haver any ideas in my area of England? My bike is all black & looks & perfroms like a dream. Please - let me know…

    Just bought my first Yamaha, a 96 YZF750R in red/white/black. My previous bikes have all been kwacks or aprilias, 2x RS250's, a ZXR400 & a couple of ZX-6R's. Any advice on maintaining the YZF, thigs to keep an eye on, upgrade etc... would be much appreciated. Its currently got k&n air filters & ive just bought a used micron can for it off ebay but having read a few old magazine reviews on it ive found out a race can is a waste of money for the YZF exups, is this true??

    Hello, and I am glad to be back, sold my TDM back in 2007, had two SV650S since and have just ordered a Lava Red XJ6S Diversion from our local Yamaha dealer, test rode it yesterday and now think the SV is a tractor!!! It all happened by accident, went to look at second hand bikes, one I had seen on their site had gone so was talking to the salesman who asked my budget and then informed me I could afford a new bike instead of a second hand one, so, after tormenting the missus, the deal was done, roll on Sunday and the Wirral Egg run the Sunday after (28th)!!!
