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.

Hi, i have just bought a sr125. It's my second bike and im coming from a sachs xtc supersport. I havent got the bike yet but bought it for 400 no tax or mot and have it booked in this saturday with my local garage. Here is a pic It has covered just 1066 miles and is a 1999 reg, and was apparently dry stored for 7 years. Is there anything i should do or check as soon as i get it? Im also looking to get a visor or screen for the front. Just a small clear one, teardrop in shape. Has anyone done this modification. Also are the bikes restricted at all, obviously i know its not going to be lightning fast but every little helps.

hi guys i was wondering if theres any one out there who can advise me on how to clean my R6 chain, degreasing lubing etc as ive never done it before. and also would like to offer my sympathies to the family off the guy who was killed over the weekend in the 3 bike accident here in northern ireland my thoughts are with everyone involved. the biking world is such a close knitt community and im sure you ll all agree its a stark warning to all on the dangers on our roads with that in mind bike safe guys! oh and thanks for any advice on the chain.
