Hi, first of all, I'm not trying to sell here. I own a TTR-125LW and I'm thinking of selling, although I have no idea how much it is worth. It is an 06 model, so that makes it 4 years old, it is kick start, been ridden approximately 10 times in this time. it has a couple of scratches on it but nothing big , has been well looked after (cleaned after every use and serviced several times) It was also purchased brand new. If anyone has a clue of an approximate price that i could sell this bike for in Australia (Perth to be exact) Thank you in advance Oh and hope this is in right section didn't know where else to ask, sorry!

I've had my new xvs 1300 for 6 months now and have found I need more pull back on the the bars. I get a very sore neck from leaning forward to far on long rides. Apparantly the wheel base is nearly 2 inches longer than the 1100. Has anybody found this problem or can anybody recomend a set of bars. Risers are out of the question because of the position of the taco.

Ponder on these imponderables for a minute:- 1. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented? 2. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes? 3. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? 4. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? 5. If love is blind, why issexy lingerie so popular? 6. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? 7. When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say? 8. Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a racing car not called a racist? 9. Why are a wise man and a…

Hey all, Yesterday I was looking through a few posts which had included in them a little sign that told me what my IP address and ISP were. Kind of like a cartoon picture of a sign inserted into the posts (there was more than one) and some had a picture of a penguin next to it. It looked like it was part of a particular string of posts. I logged out and it doesn't seem to be there now. No probs with my computer or any other sites. Bit of a worry. Any ideas?

Hi I'm looking for some advice re. my 1987 RD350 YPVS F2. Before the worst of the weather hit us, I cleaned the bike down, oiled it, greased it, and dowsed in corrosion protector. But now, just a couple of weeks later, it starts (just) and then begins to make 'fart' noises from the left cylinder. After 30 seconds or so, dirty smoke comes out the left exhaust. Then it lets rip with an almighty backfire, accompanied by a small flame out the back. Then cuts out. I have checked the plugs are ok and clean. The compression seems fine, as with plugs out I can feel good pressure when the engine is turned. I've had the exhaust off to make sure there are no big car…

Your wife decides to go out with her friends drinking and dancing.... You're okay with it, because you get to watch sports and play on the Internet all night... You hear her stumble into bed around 4 and laugh knowing she's going to have a monster hangover.... You wake up the next morning and go outside to the family Volvo, which she used last night.... You sigh in relief because it's all in one piece.... You circle the car looking for dents and find none.... But .... Wait... Wait just a damn minute...
