    Locking up the Virago at work Friday, slight reddish tinge on the hub. Got home lifted front wheel off the deck, sure enough, bearing on the way out. Two new bearings and a seal bought and fitted yesterday morning. Then in the afternoon, on the Radian, fitted new wheel bearings and seals front and rear, new rear brake shoes, plus re-fitted the wheels with two new Bridgestones on em, brakes/chain adjusted. Bowled along at my own pace, several brews along the way, radio on, nobody bothered me Had a good day

    Hey folks! Was in Belfast recently, had some time to kill so headed to local bike dealer. Oh my god. Think I need to sell a kidney cos I've seen so many nice new toys it's crazy. Crafty bugger salesman saw me drooling over new Yams & homed in like a heat-seeker! Had a gorgeous new White R1 & a nice black/White R6 sitting, the bugger is trying to tempt me with test rides. Why do we torture ourselves!! I should've went to B&Q instead.

    ...winter commuting by bike! i've been on the bikes a long time now and quite frankly i'm getting sick of being freezing, soaked, riding on slippy crappy roads that deteriorate my bike, putting expensive tyres on to get no enjoyment out of them, going to my gf's with all the gear on then having to change into something better, needing a piss all the time because of the cold! think i'm going to go for a small 4x4, will be handy for keeping tools in for summer jobs i get, will be able to pull my gf's horse box, and will keep me warm! i'm thoroughly pissed off, and cold, and my bike's f'in filthy again! to hell with all the macho all year round biker stuff i always stuck…

    I just got linked to this, I know it's a Harley, not a Yamaha, but his bike control is incredible. Apologies if you've all seen it before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pJxOsYh12yY Also, as a newbie, i hope this is the right place for this, as i didn't want to put it in the vid section as it's not a yam.
