Hi to everyone I've got a 1991 yamaha FZ 750 an I'm looking for some ideas to spruce it up a little. When I bought it it was missing all of its fairings. I bought the neccesary parts but they will need to be painted. I thought about trying to make it look larger at the front as well as a complete paint job. If any of you have any ideas about what I could do it would be nice. Thanks Paul

Hi everyone, My apologies for joining up and not owning a Yamaha, although I have had various mx bikes in the past YZ, KX, CR, Husky CR, KDX, KLR etc... What I am looking for is the owner of B13 GTT to see if they would like to sell their registration, under no circumstances am I wanting their address or contact details unless they say so. I will quite happily pass on mine for them to contact me though. when checked the plate comes back to a 1996 Yamaha 849cc motorcycle in yellow. I am currently restoring a 1988 Renault 5 GT Turbo and the plate would look perfect and go along side my other number plate B13 NWR on my Renault 19 16v cabriolet.. It's just a st…

Just heard Loomies was robbed earlier in the week. The thieving bastards took the safe with a weeks takings in it, computer gear and they tore up the place. They will be open this weekend and could really do with it being busy so if anyone's in the area try to find time to pop in for a coffee, every little helps. Find them here: Loomies Cafe A272 (West Meon Hut) Hampshire GU32 1JX http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&where1=GU32%201JX,%20Winchester,%20Hants&q=gu32%201jx&encType=1

Gents, I mainly use the FJ for commuting and the fairly short 2hr. jaunt to the Brixham office. Never for cruising or holidays so square butt syndrome never has been that much of an issue. Weather permitting I'm looking at going to Cloggie land to sail in a National Championship in two weeks time and my mate lives in the North so looking at 1050 Km (652 Miles) .......... one way. I'd like to cover distance pretty swiftly without having to stop every 50 yards because my butt is hurting. Putting fuel in the thing is about as much of a stop I'm prepared to make. (maybe the odd fag brake) What tips, hints do you know of to prevent that. Cheer…

With the track still cool in the morning, teammate Rossi took his time to further test set-ups with the aim to prolong tyre life. When the track started to warm up he put his YZR-M1 to the test and posted the sixth fastest time of 2’00.676s, +0.713s behind his teammate, despite suffering some chattering issues. While the track was baking in the blistering afternoon temperatures at 2pm, the riders took some time to regain their strength and consume enough fluids, before heading back out into the bright sunshine at the Sepang International Circuit. When Lorenzo and Rossi retuned to the track they used the last two hours of the session to test various aspects of the bi…
