The Bar

Hey all, I am new to the website, as well as the motorbike scene. Got myself an 2002 R6, I cam off it just before christmas, thankfully I was only, few bruises but nothing major - the bike however needed new headlight unit, front cowling, r/h mid fairing. Manage to get some very cheap & excellent condition eadlights & front cowling the the mid fairing I am stuggling with. Have been weighing up my option, which are as follows: Option 1 - Live with the tatty fairing I have on there at the minute, even tho the rest of the bike is A1 condition. Option 2 - Buy a brand new one from Yamaha, cost me £279.95 + VAT. That will mean it will be perfect again …

Hi guys, I'm Bas from the Netherlands, i'm not currently owning a Yamaha. But i'm hoping to get myself a 2005 TZR50 next week. I do own a bike, a 1982 Puch maxi. English isn't my first language (dutch is obviously) so if you catch any grammar or spelling mistakes, just say so and i'll try to improve my Enlish! I may not own a Yamaha but i do own a 1990 Mazda 323F. In the UK better known as a Mazda Astina. It's up for sale currently because it is, engine wise, a total mess. It was that way when i've bought it. and i've been tearing the poor thing down even more. Racing with no coolant or oil in the engine (because it was leaking everywhere!) But when I will have my TZR5…

Just this min seen the local news and a certain ms Goff (aka Lisa Bucley)was on there, summat to do with salford uni and a prosthetic leg for a foreign chap. if i find more i'll post found some http://menmedia.co.uk/news/s/1241008_student_brings_teen_10000_miles_for_new_leg

Hope no one minds but I'm really, over the moon today - it's a perfect day. I had my employment tribunal pre-hearing today. My case has gone from no-hope to good chance, back to a no-hoper and then today, right back in the fight. The Judge (a total goddess - but blonde ) sent everything my way and really burned Telewest out - to the point that even at this pre-hearing their application for costs (£1200 for the morning) was denied which is very unusual I am told. The poo was hitting them so fast that they have asked for the case to be adjourned so that they can prepare further case notes and evidence in their defence. Round 2 is on the 4th of February but…

.....this is the best original condition TDM850 in the world! I have been known to give it a wipe over with an old rag from time to time!

Sorry folks, just sold my yamaha xt125, been an awesome bike and shall be missed! The guy buying it seemed alright so hopefully it will be looked after just as well Just on my Suzuki SV650 now, not gonna stop me lurking through the yam forum though

Alrighty there... Joined up your great looking site, as I've just come into the biking world by buying a TZR 125 - after one shot taking it home, I'm hooked already! Its my first bike, passed my CBT a couple of months ago and finally got round to buying a bike at the weekend. Here's a few wee pics before it started raining! (I do live in sunny Scotland after all!) Love at first sight, she's a bit rough round the edges but I see it as challenge to tidy up odds and ends. If anyone else has one, would love to see their pics and get some inspiration! Know absolutely nothing about bikes (and not ashamed to admit it!) so any help or info about it will be gr…

...for a second that (if aren't already lucky enough to own your Dream Yamaha).....you could, if money, dosh, coin, cash or whatever it's referred to in your corner of the planet, was not an object..... So What would be your Dream Yamaha to own if you could? ..... Without a doubt.....this would be my 1st choice ..... A Sweet, Rainey replica polished Spondon-framed RD500 V4

Aup folks! aint been on as much as normal just like to helllllllllllo. had some problems I.e not having a job but all sorted and should on here a bit more now its cold lol

Hi all, Just happened to stubble across this forum and thought i would say hello. I am on my second Yamaha first bike was a Fazer 600 which was a really good starter for me, then a couple of months ago got myself a 2003 R1 which is excellent! Stay just outside Aberdeen. Cheers Mark

I thought id better say hello properly, cos you be seeing me around on the notice boards. The names Matt, Im a 35 yr old bike fanatic, if its got 2 wheels and an engine im probably gonna like it! Been riding for 14 years, the ex wife made me sell my bikes to finace some rug rats so there was a 6 year gap. But as soon as the divorce was through (5 yrs ago) the bikes came back. I live on the Dutch/belgium border with my lovely cloggy woman who accepts that bikes are my first love! My daily ride is a Thunderace, my mistress is a GSXR 750RR, in the winter i ride a moped and i got a project or two (which might or might not be put back together!). I see that there is abit b…

Hi all, i've just started biking again after a few years off (too big a mortgage and no dosh for a bike!) Also suffering a mid life crisis, bought a cruiser 6 weeks ago and hated it so I changed it for a 2003 Fazer 600. A superb bike not too heavy on the insurance and great to ride. Just found this site today, looks good. Cheers

Just to say hi, just bought a 00' TW125 so figured this good place to join. Really dont know much about bikes but wana learn what i can and im going to post some picture up here when its sorted. Anyways just thought better say something rather than just chuck a reply around when i need something !

Just letting all know that I've finally had some time to update my small'ish website Gallery and the never ending R1-Z project http://www.rd500ypvs.co.uk/ Fred.

Hi to one and all. I now have a Yamaha MT 03 had it about a year, really good fun on the mountain roads. Before that I had a Honda Hornet and before that Suzuki Freewind (hubby crashed that one). I just wanted to join a social bike forum, not sure if this is what this is, but I'm sure someone will let me know. Hubby has a Triumph Tiger. We are living in Bulgaria, came over here 4 and half years ago and just love it. Anyone out there been over here.

Just a quick post to say hello to everyone on here! My names Joel, I'm 21 and I am from Oxford. My main ride is a Triumph Daytona 955i 99' but I am currently building a custom Yamaha cafe racer. I have joined the forums just to see what other people are up to, in terms of bikes that is. I have some cool ideas of customs I would like to build around Yamaha's and over time I hope to hear some opinions. Just a bit of background info, I worked in F1 for 5 years and I am about to start studying physics at university. Best regards to everyone, Joel
