The Bar

Hi, I have not been biking long, motorbiking that is I have had a push bike for a while, but I have already come across a lot of negative reaction to motorbikes. Is this normal and how do people deal with it? For example people will comment quite freely 'oh you've got a motorbike have you? Death trap.' 'Death trap' seems to be a favourite phrase.... Or I hear comments like, 'oh you are on a bike, you will be under a lorry on your way home.' These are not family members or friends, just random people who stop and pass judgement?? It's not like I have asked for their opinion or anything. Bizarre. Totally bizarre. Like f, you. Do I walk past a chip shop and say to s…

What are your thoughts,I have heard people complaining about parts and qualitly after net purchasing. I don't use the net to get parts,I use the local shops 2 reasons 1 help keep the doors open 2 if thier is a problem they will be seeing me in person when I have a problem.But honestly the guys I deal with are that good that I never have a problem, and price wise they are right in line with any deal on the net.Any bill I get also gets 10% knocked off sticker price with out asking,end of year gear I have got at cost or less Tires at 15% over cost They can get almost anything in a day or less. Even the local Yam dealer is not that bad price wise and only charge 10 bu…

Hi All, New to the forums and to riding motorcycles. I decided to learn since I am being given a 1990 Radian 600 with 13000 miles. Hopefully you'll hear from me more in the months as I begin to experience the thrill of riding without a cup holder.

Hi i am new here and need help. I bought my fzr250 import about 3 days ago, she hasn't been looked after so i have stripped her down and given her a fresh respray. However the exhaust is standard and has a hole in and rather than replace it with another standard exhaust i was wondering if anyone on here may have or help me source a nicer looking aftermarket one. It doesn't have to improve performance just after something nice. I was wondering if the exhaust of a fzr400 or 600 would bolt straight up? Please help Kind Regards Paul

FJR was just too good all-round, so decided to get rid and get back to basics with an old school beast. 1981 XS1100 Midnight Special. Bought her from an enthusiast who looked after her very well. I hope to do him justice, but at the same time this bike is going to get RIDDEN.

Make sure you wait a few secs... Creepy

My son decided to get himself an offroader..450 with FMF pipe..sounds the business. Thought my XT had power until I rode this thing.

Hi, my name is Ben and I just picked up a 1987 Yamaha Radian last week. It has 25k miles on it. This is my first bike and pretty new into the whole world of two wheels. It seems to run pretty well, but the owner told me that she was getting about 30mpg. That seems pretty low to me. i thought these should get mid 40's easy. am i wrong? I take it changing the plugs and wires, along with a new air filter would help a lot, but would it make that much of a difference? while poking around i found the air filter and looked oily & pretty dirty. these aren't oiled filters are they? i would guess the filter is a big part of it. and another thing i noticed was that the little ru…

Hi. Just dropping a quick message to introduce myself. I'm Nathan and the owner of a 07 midnight black R6. I was the owner of a ebony (I like black) Kawasaki ZX636 (let the flaming begin ) until it was written-off by a bloke in a 4x4. Unfortunately I was on the bike at the time so it resulted in a few broken bits of my own. Able to ride again now tho and 3rd party admitted liability so got the R6. Amazing bike. Thought the ZX636 was good, the R6 is on another level. Anyway, looks like a wicked forum so hope to be asking and answering questions and making some new mates. Cheers.

There's a new baby in my family. Not sure what I was thinking buying a brand new bike, but hey, at least the previous owner hasn't messed it up! I didn't think I wanted a bobber, but she's a dream to ride and I had to have her.
