Got up this morning, geared up for ride to work, went out to bike, looking at it something was different, hang on, where's the reg plate!! Not in the garden fallen off, I know it was very secure, so where? Nicked I guessed, thinking "oh well" decided best report in case of fraud. Always had opinion police are too busy for the little crimes (£200 car stereo robbed, not even a call back), but today, had several call backs asking finer details. Last call off an inspector of a sort called me thanking me for the info and reporting as they've been able to nick someone they've been monitoring. He was on a silver Yamaha like mine but with my plate! Just had the "CSI" du…

hello any help would be great My son has a spanish bike with a ybr125 engine in it,as you all know this engine is air cooled. He ran the bike low on oil,i mean low less than a 1/4 of a litre,which has brought on a tapping from top end tappets are fine,cam and bearings are ok,i have put oil straight on to the inlet tappet,ran the bike and the noise has gone,but 10 minutes later,it returned,so it can only be that when he ran low on oil,he brought some crap up from the sump.. So my now for my question...is there anyway of clearing the blockage without sripping the head off,can i use a oil flush or would that do more damage,,

Did my module 1 test yesterday, no mistakes, passed it Now I've got my mod 2 on december the 7th (I tried booking earlier but it's all they had) Honestly, I'm crapping it. I know I'm good enough to pass I can just see myself making a f**cking silly mistake I'll kick myself for afterwards. So, are there any tips/usual suspects to avoid getting caught out on the Mod 2? If anyone is from round here - I'm taking it in Farnborough, which has like 2 billion roundabouts in... Chris

Hi All! Just joined as I have purchased a 2007 R1 with 1500km's on the clock...have not taken possession or signed for anything yet!!! The bike was bought from a parallel importer/dealer in Johannesburg, I have been warned that it could possibly be an engine restricted model...especially if it comes from California. The bike definitely comes from the States...but where exactly in the States who knows? I have been guaranteed from the dealer (large and reputable) that it is not a restricted model and not from California...but an angel on my shoulder is saying "are you sure?" Can anyone help me with what I should look for? I have heard stories about black motors…

Its nothing to do with bikes. But! Went out tonite with my youngest for an adventure, hot flask, tow rope, and some basics like a spade, hi viz torch etc to traverse the big hill. Nothing special 99% of the year just a steep hill although its steep in steps for probably half a mile, till it snows. Then only the brave and the stupid take it on. Well take your pick, thats where myself and my youngest were heading basically to give the 4wd system on the rangy a work out to keep it sweet. Well we saw headlights pointing up on one of the steeper parts going nowhere so put pants on the outside and speed to assist. Only to see a focus coming DOWN the hill . It ca…

At this time of year and with this adverse weather now is the time to think of your elderly neighbours. I usually put 6 bottles of milk and a couple of newspapers on the old biddies door step who lives directly opposite - then I ring the Social Services. I love the look on her face when the police break down the deaf old cows front door. Merry Christmas. J2
