The Bar

Would like to have a wonder through this collection..bikes collected over a 35 year period different cc year models and makes. Mixture of Honda BMW Suzuki Yamaha Kawasaki. He will only sell them all in one sale..not separately. Price: 7800 pounds for the lot...pity its 1500km away.

Got a good start this morning…..was throwing a leg over the Beast right @ 4:20am. Nice & clear weatherwise…..ended up making good time as traffic was just shy of Non-existant. Here’s a nice view of Mt. Hood from the East side just @ the edge of the Warm Springs Indian Rez….. Musta got my wires crossed with my friend…..as he wasn’t home when I got there. I figured he was either @ work or up Skiing (lucky Bastid) , as the weather woulda been perfect for a day of Spring Skiing. So, I had to check out the view from the top of 4,000ft. Pilot Butte while I was here…… I then decided to set off for the Tumalo Reservoir area myself….. & Wha…

Does anyone remember what the name of the silver color used on the forklegs and fenders on 1970's era AT1B's? Yamaha doesn't seem to have a record! Thanks, Tony.

Has anyone ever heard of, or had any dealings with 4th dimension in shepperton. they do resprays ect,

Amazing, picked my first bike up today, a yamaha DT125R. Runs amazingly and I'm very pleased with it. Unfortunately 5 minutes into riding it I've already learnt a lesson. I was signalling to turn right into my drive, another motorbike was approaching so I slowed down, turned my head to check behind me and some VW Golf driving muppet pulled out and overtook nearly taking me and the other biker down. Excellent. Thankfully I looked behind and luckily the other rider had experience to deal with it, I guess you have to get used to unpredictable behaviour from some car drivers!

After 5 weeks, I am getting my bike back on the road today! Its been a LOOOOON 5 weeks. Picking up the tank and undertray and the final 2 fairing panels from the bodyshop in a few mins, then get back and start reassembly. Knowing my luck it will be raining all afternoon so I wont be able to take her out lol. Not been on here since it came off the raod as it would have been too depressing. I will post some pics up as soon as I have taken some. I have had her done ALMOST standard. There are a couple of extra decals, the decals are Bright White and Chrome instead of Pearl White and Grey, and I have changed teh color very subtley to what i think is an even more vivid Blu…

Hiya, recieved this PR from the RAF, thought I would post in its full: Thousands of bikers from across the United Kingdom will join together for a massive ‘Ride Out’ next month in support of the Armed Forces. The ‘RAF Wings Appeal Easter Egg Run’ will take place on Sunday 28 March and funds raised will go to the RAF Wings Appeal, providing help for past and present members of the RAF, including our troops currently serving in Afghanistan. The bikers will ride out from a huge variety of points across England and Wales, meeting up with thousands of others at the Meole Brace Park & Ride in Shropshire, before finally going on to RAF Cosford as one huge grou…

Hi, all I have bought a 535 with a blown ECU. The story goes that a used one was bought and fitted which gave it a spark. The fuel pump wasn´t working so it was disconnected from the loom and a live feed was put to it which made it work. The bike then started and ran ok. The pump was then plugged back in to the loom but didn´t work. A live feed was put to the pump which then ran and the bike started. Shortly afterwards the ECU burnt out. I personally I would´t have put a live feed into the loom! Has anyone any ideas? Also, I need an ECU. lol

Well I resisted as long as possible but I relapsed, 57miles was all she got as a run in. Then stayed under 7500 for the next couple of hundred. Job done now, today was the first full fat 'Oh that's why you ride a two stoke' moment. Many more to come, I hope. Second thing, thought the bike looked a little flat, even after I had given it a clean. So at the suggestion of my neighbour (has some show and shine trophies from car meets) took all the polish off with some blue stuff from the US he lent me. Then gave it a good seeing to with some pigmented wax, again from Lee next door. WOW Looks amazing, much deeper colour and shine. Apparently polish/wax can go a bit off if it bu…

Hi everyone im stil new to this site and i duno if ive posted this in the right place (: Right i have a YBR125cc 59 plate havent realy done much to it apart from rim tape and stickers i was going to leave it as that but i wanted it to sound a little bit deeper with a nice tone i custom made and exhaust for mine mainly for sound but now im looking at the power side of things the exhaust is pritty much hollow so its letting out enough air and i took the air filter and the cover of the air box for a while to drive about and see if that helps and it didnt realy just badly smelt of petrol (rich) so ive stuck it back on but i have brought a fancy air filter and removed …

I noticed this year when my road tax renewal came, it did not give me the option of 6 months only 12! I assume this is to stop people taxing for the summer and putting on a sorn for the winter and so dodge the new insurance rules ?

Turned on ignition on yuasa batt pressed horn got a donk. Been on optimiser for a year. Multimeter connected 6.1 to 4.8 when horn button pressed. Indicators as well wont flash. Awaiting motobatt delivery and will report back. Do I need to charge the glass mat battery?

6 year olds/proverbs Sorry if been posted before, I love these though! A grade one teacher collected well known proverbs. She gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by grade one kids ("6"year-olds), because the last one is classic! Strike while the ..........................insect is close. Never underestimate the power of............ants. Don't bite the hand that....................looks dirty. Better to be safe than......................punch a grade 7 boy. If you lie down with dogs, you'll...........stink in the morning. It's al…

hi everyone. am looking to upgrade my little DT50 MX for something that will let me keep up with lorries on dual carriageways. must have a 6 speed gearbox, and preferably enduro style with an electric start and 12v electrics. methink even the newer DTs' are only five speed and the only other 6 Speeds around are Derbi sendas and some of the later Suzuki bikes. anyone know of a 50cc that will fit the above criteria? (or better yet, is selling on?) - Steve
