    I said hi in the Custom section, but hello to all. Just got my first Yamaha, an SR Custom 125 on a 1991 plate. Bit of work to be done but it should turn out nice.

    Hi y'all Ive got twin rear lights on my '99 R6. Coming back from a ride Im informed my left light is out. My b/f takes off the lense cover (which is bubbled from the heat), we find that the bulb has melted into the plastic at the back and we cant get it out....same on the other one although not quite as bad. They are only little 8w bulbs?? can anyone offer a theory as to why they are running that hot? Dont wanna fork out on new stuff if they are just gonna be frazzled too... is it just shit selection of bulbs / lights on an 'aftermarket' undertray or could there be another issue? Any help appreciated guys Ta Kell

    real piss£d off, got knocked off today; riding round the roundabout underneath of J25 of the M5 at taunton this afternoon, in the middle lane doing maybe 25-30, when a car sat in a queue in the lefthand lane pulled straightout and into the side of my bike (the tdm850) and me. Initially my leg and foot get crushed between the car and my bike, then the bike topples over and i hit the deck. momentarily pass out and then jump out of the way of the lorry that was behind me as clearly stopping at the scene of accident is too much for him. Car seems to drive off, i think he had second thoughts when he saw a biker waiting for recovery (it turns out also from brizzle) and …

    How hard is it to change the oil seals on a rs125? Took my bike for the mot today and i need these replacing. I also need a new rear light cover, low beam bulb, and the front mud guard needs adjusting as it hits the exhaust. All of this work is coming in at around 110 +vat including parts. Does this sound right, the labour is coming to £70. Any suggestions welcome.

    i've made a few posts here and there since joining a few weeks ago, but as of yet havent actually introduced myself. My names Nick, I'm 22 and ride a Yami YZF-R125 in red / white / black. Am fairly new to biking, my only previous bike was a 125 Sukida Patriot, not the nicest bike to ride, and i cant say i exactly felt safe on it, but it was cheap and got me from A to B! Then i got my hands on my current bike and have never looked back, have got a new found enjoyment out of riding and have actually found myself taking it out for the fun of it instead of just the essential treck to work.

    Evening folks! Just thought i'd pop up a post and introduce myself. I'm new to the bike scene and have recently acquired an XS250 US Custom through a colleague at work. It has been sitting in his garage for over 10 years and he decided it was time to have a clear out. I have been wanting to get myself a bike license for years and this little project is just the thing to motivate me to get it done Its a great looking site you have here, and i'm sure you will be seeing a lot more of me.
