Mate of mine is doing a charity ride to Peru and one of her sponsors is the Army. The White Helmets donation to the ride is a free off road training weekend at Bovington Camp in Dorset...... and I have been invited along Always wanted to have a go at this, I love mountain biking and skiing and was always up to my neck in muck as a kid so I reckon this is going to be a fun weekend. Just waiting for the bumpf to come through the post, but any experienced mud skidders on here can offer some words of wisdom so I get the most out of the 2 days ?

Hi Just changed my personal photo in the 'My Controls' section and it shows the picture and says im using it but isnt showing up in my posts. Any ideas??

Ive got a RD 250 DX and i dont know what this E and F model is about, can someone please explain it to me. cheers

What a girl! A proper birthday present, better than the new spray job for me bike that was classed as "timed out" by the time i got it done. Silverstone at the end of April. With me mates, camping the night before, should be a laff. Its the national circuit, to tell the truth i havent got a clue where the track goes except for Bridge, Luffield and the straight, anyone know where i can find the track layout for the Nash Circuit. Its strange, there are other tracks that ive never ridden on that i know where they go, but not Silverstone.

I have just been going though my emails and found I had a PM from somebody on this site. Turns out that its a spam email, but it reminded me that I was signed up to this site. I am currently yamaha less, having sold the RD250 and the DT125LC I still have a hankering for a V-max though! Co-incidently I have just found a load of old Yam bits at the back of the garage in a box, these might be looking for a new home soon. Cheers all! Phil

Hey everyone, Just a quick hello I ride a blue YBR. Taking my A2 license soon, got theory coming up next week. Hoping to be on a bigger bike next year, would like to be riding an R6.

to anyone who might know whats going on, i have an 1985 FJ 600. not sure what the problem is, i had it running fine about 2 days ago, but now when i try to start it up all i hear is this weird clicking noise coming from the battery or around the battery. the battery is brand new. any help would be appriciated. -tyler

hi folks wondering if anybody has had the same problem as myself or can shed some light on the problem. the front tyre on my bike has worn away unevenly on the one side, the centre of the tyre is hardly worn, it actually looks the same as a car tyre when the tracking is off. the tyre only has around 1500 miles on it and the back has plenty of life in it. both tyres were replaced at the same time. they are continental contiforce. the bike was stored in the shed all winter and i deflated the tyre pressure to about 20psi and both wheels were of the ground. any ideas and is it worth sending the tyre back to continental to see what they say? thanks

Hi there. Have been watching forum the last week while on holiday and seems very friendly, so here goes. I haven't been a biker for long (for my age), only twenty years and mainly 250's but as my lad was getting older and heavier I needed a bigger bike so chose a divvy 600 which takes us everywhere (we follow are local non-league football club) The reason I was looking at the forum last week was the bike wouldn't start. After buying and fitting a new solenoid it still wouldn't start so I bought and fitted a new starter relay and it still wouldn't start, so I started doing a continuity test and although it wasn't obvious at first the cable that runs from the starter but…

how do you get your profile pic visable when you add posts??ive put pic of me bike on here but it doesnt show up when i add posts. i know i know its prob something stupid im missing so humor me. cheers

Rode on the M4 yesterday in extreme wind conditions 2 up. Kuuuriste was that scary, anybody with similar experiences ? Also have had extreme rain on the M5 where I couldn't see ten feet in front of me, had to stop under a motorway bridge, always wondered if a cop stopped would he have done me?

Hi, I am new to the forum. I recently bought a 1986 FZ600 that is not currently running, due to the last owner blowing the engine and ripping out important pieces before I got my hands on it (and I am still trying to save money for a new engine and whatnot). I look forward to getting help and support from other Yamaha owners like yourselves.

Mad bitch deserves stringing up

well bee looking for a bike since my new zx6r got written off. saw an advert for a high mileage but tidy-ish tdm850 this morning on an R-plate. popped along for a look and a ride, got it for £800 with 4 months tax and test. back on the road soon and it gives me chance to fiddle with my fzr1000 again. anyone got any comments on tdms?

Anyone know where to get one of these from please? Seen them on eBay for about £23.00

Just joined so thought i'd say hello to everyone. Just bought a FZR1000RU EXUP. Never had one before so will probably need loads of advise about her. Safe riding everyone.
