    Hi, I ride a Thundercat, been riding since I was 17, started of on a Honda CBR125r, at 18 bought a 97 Thundercat. Im riding a 55 Honda CBR 600f while my bike is getting repaired after a car decided to use me as his brakes. The damage came to an estimated 1800 quids worth, was hoping for a write off so I could take advantage of the Yamahas 0% finance and purachase a new R6 but I'll be happy to get my bike back! Im a member of superbike forums, don't know if any one on here is?

    Hi all. Passed my test last week and went out at the weekend and bought a Blue Yamaha Thundercat as my first bike. Chose this bike after much research and the fact it was cheap to insure. Just thought i'd drop by and say Hi and request any info on riding skills if possible. I'm just looking to build on what i've learnt. Thanks Andy

    Hi all, Ive just got my sticky paws on an old '81 XJ550. Not too bad but runs a bit lumpy and there are the inherant clutch noises and the odd oil leak, as you would expect from a bike this age. Im hoping to rebuild her as soon as I can, and modify her in a few ways, prob streetfighter her a bit. I thought I would join this forum as it looks a good place for info, and maybe even sourcing parts. Thanks for having me !
