The Bar

Many, many moons ago, I owned an RD350LC registration RAG452W. I rebuild the bike from scratch, upgrading pratically everything, and spending a shed load of money on it. I even splashed out on a mural of Pink Floyd The Wall on the tank. Started life as a 250LC, but even upgraded that to the 350LC. I had to sell the bike in the end, but I've always wondered what ever happened to the machine. I dont suppose any of you good guys out there would know or have any info??

This came up over a pint the other night.. When was the last time you saw a motorbike ad on tv? Why are there none now? (Honda doesn't count! It's a brand ad.) Aren't there supposed to be more & more of us around? What's going on?!

I have been eyeing this up; LINKY Please talk me out of it. I don't even think it would hold enough petrol to do the odd single days commute of 42 miles.

hi, guys, please accept my apologies if this is the wrong section, i desperately need an ignition pickup coil for a 650 dragstar, Fowlers of bristol want £108 + vat and suppliers in US are asking $71 approx £41, i dont mind paying for a part but i also dont like being ripped off , The part number is 4TR 81670-00 can any of you guys suggest a decent supplier in the uk, many thanks in advance Mike.

New to motorcycles, but i did notice the brand new spark plugs get super black after a quick ride, which i assume causing a misfire for the right side, so my question was how to get it back to norm or make it run leaner, or what the problem is at all , thanks

This idiot weaved through traffic on a Vancouver Island freeway doing 300/ k/h. If he had even made a minor error in timing or if a vehicle had changed lanes there would have been one hell of a pile up. The cops have tracked down the bike which had no plates or insurance when the video was made. It is owned by a woman who has had numerous driving infractions and has lost her licence in the past. They believe the bike was driven by her son who also has had numerous traffic violations including driving without a license and driving at excessive speeds. They have impounded the bike and given the mother a pile of tickets totaling in excess of $1400 because she owns the b…

Hi all Tried to replace the rear light unit, only the two bolts hoding it to rear mudguard have seized. Have you any tips for me to remove the old, make-do light? I'll try to preserve it and sell it on. I thought about using a 'cutting' file - think it would take ages but how do I protect the mudguard? Thanks in anticipation. I.L.

hi guys, new to this forum and this is my first post and i really hope you can help with my problem. i've just purchased a 2000 dtr125 as a project, it had been converted to off road use by the previous owner who obviously didnt have a clue what he was doing! and now it has no spark and wont fire, the ignition and kill switch are both missing at the moment, so any help with what the problem could be will be much appreciated :spin2: thanks

On my way home from work this morning after a night shift and saw this.........................

Hi all, I'm looking at getting my xv 250 wheels powder coated, does anyone know anywhere near the Bexleyheath/Dartford area that does this? Also, anyone know roughly how much is it going to cost me? Cheers, Chris

looking for a manual for a 2006 ybr 125 ?

Hi all I'm new here, got back on 2 wheels a few months ago (after about 25 years). I have a YBR 125 on a provisional licence. I find it's a great little bike but a little lacking on hills. and living in north Wales there's plenty of them. so I was thinking about doing my bike test and getting something a bit bigger. is there any real difference in the bike test on a 125cc or a 500cc, apart form the 2 year 33bhp restriction. or to put it another way is it worth just doing the full test strait off? is the 125 test easier or cheaper to do?

John Lydon on Question Time!

So first of all, let me tell you the story. This last week I received three bikes from a friend, the deal was that if i fix his I get to keep the other two. (we had done the same deal except i got a truck for fixing two other bikes) the main problem on any of his vehicles is he uses them, the tags expire, and they sit, and sit, and sit... so naturally there is A LOT of varnish in the carbs and gas tanks, which is no problem, a few hours a piece and you've got them running. This time is different. The bikes i received are as follows 1980 Yamaha 400 Special II (blue) 1980/1981? (the bikes are essentially the same, just a little different on certain parts) Yamaha 4…

thats what i call a burnout the pipe you can see in the foreground is the inlet manifold apparently

Just wondered, does anyone know anywhere that does decent, but cheap custom leathers? like the idea of having fully customised leathers, but only found one or two sites that do that and one of them is UBER expensive. I know you pay for quality etc, but this was slightly over that. Cheers guys
