Hi Guys. Been away a while. Been riding this: and this: but just bought this: Gee life is dull!

So, I have a set of Joe Rocket textile gear, and i have a problem I like my things to be clean. This suit, after a year of abuse in all elements, is filthy. It wouldnt be so bad if it were black, but it has huge white patches that catch grime and just make it look like i stopped the bike, got off, and rolled around in the dirt. I read the care instructions on the label inside the coat, but it says i cant dry clean, machine wash, soak, etc etc this thing. it doesnt say anything about cleaning it via telepathy, but unfortunately i appear to not have that gift. how do you clean your textile gear? im at my wits end here. heres what it looks like - …

Hi all This is my first post and eager to get the bike on the road again Last use on track day but shock was "shocking" and was told by the expert on track to throw it away Can anone advise which is the best option for replacing the rear shock I Have been offered a "Hagon" at about £260 but is this the best for the bike or what are the alternatives? OOr, has anyone out there got one to sell??

hi again folks. Can you tell me when the FZR 1000 exup went back to the two headlight design in 1996, did the forks return to the old design instead on the upside down ones? Also if the bike has a solo seat, can the rear seat be purchased on its own or would i have to buy the whole seat for the two of us to ride on. Hope to hear from you soon, Batts

Hi folks i have a couple of questions: I have heard about getting the 1000 exup dynojetted. Is it recommended and how much does it cost? Jack up kits. Are they just for show or do they increase handling? Hope to hear from you

Hey Guys, Looking for advice, I'm in need of a Lock and Chain for my 2006 R6! Obviously something Thacham Approved... Been to SMC and the Disc Lock they had didn't fit round the R6 disc Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction! Would like a nice chain too, not sure if I should get a second lock for the chain or just use the disc lock... Any advice or information would be great! Thanks, Tom

Does anyone know how much engine a 2 stroke DT125 should use - how many miles should a tank full of oil last or how many tanks of petrol should it last?

Hi i have a 1982 dt125 lc. Its all in reasonibly good nic apart from a couple of things. The indicators and rev counter are not working at all but im putting that down to some faulty wiring behind the dash because all of the lights flicker with bumps. What i am really in need of is the left hand switch gear. The horn button in not there at all and the indicator button is broken inside. Ive looked for this switch on the net but i dont seem to be able to find anything at all. Does anyone know of anywhere i can purchase one of these?? I see these older bikes everywhere for sale so there must be some companys out there who has some electrical parts for them, surley? …

My Frazer FZS600 has a Monorack fitted. Does anyone know If an E460 box Will fit without modification?

Can anyone suggest anywhere (Im in Nottingham) I can get some decals from for my bike? I have got the "YAMAHA" and "R6" ones sourced, but cant find any for the seat cowling (the "swoosh" that goes from the seat backwards) as seen on this picture; I am getting quite a lot of paintwork done, and need replacement decals. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Boys and girls I'm new as of this evening, and just wondering how many other people out there own bulldogs!. I know they're not everyones flavour but it just so happens that it is mine. Enjoy the weather kids and ride hard but safe. Peace out

I just want to introduce myself. I Live in Montana, and I am once again getting back on a bike. It's been years, and this is the first time with a two stroke. I have ordered the Clymer service manual so I am looking forward to getting that. I do however have a question, if anyone may have the info for me. What weight of oil do I put in the transmission? I don't know how much is in there and obviously I don't fry it, also, I have no idea how old the oil is . Thanks!

Just caled in to say Hi to anyone who remembers Ogri from the Wirral back in the 70s/80s. After sporning a couple of sproggs I'm sort of back!? Suddenly realized I never passed my full ticket so I had to take a CBT on a 50cc step through of all things. Can you imagine me 19 stone of relaxed muscle on a bog seat in my old 70's cross over leather? Any way managed to get hold of a 125 drag star so that it didn't look too small under me, every thing else looked like I had a roller skate stuck to my arse. So If you see a red drag star with a big bloke in an old 70's leather buzzin' around the Wirral area, It's Ogri. Nod or even pull me over and say allo. Whilst I'm at i…
