The Bar

Got a big service the other day. They recon my shock is finished and i need new chain and sprocks. Shock seems fine to me but they thinks its total done, chain and sproks is on the last nitch so that's fair play in 1000 miles or so i recon. Shocks seem awful expensive. If mine is shagged then whats the best replacement? Dont seem to be that much choice on ebay and some are a total ripoff. One company refurbishes them think its worth a try? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAMAHA-YZF-600-YZF-7...%3A1%7C294%3A50 also got a rear flat tyre last night just left my bike outside my mates house, am guted. can you get them fixed, its almost new!!

Had plans made all last week to tend to some overdue chores around home......but like usual.....the Ol' Lady changed everything @ the last moment.....& was NOT happy with me when I told her I was staying home from a trip to the beach that she expected every1 to comply to. Finally got the nagging brake issue with my YamaHauler sorted:spoton:......now I can start planning a retrieval trip to collect a 370 Bultaco Frontera for restoration. After pulling a bit of maintenance on the XT.....just couldn't resist taking advantage of the killer weather we've been bestowed with lately..... Nice views of 'Hood along the Clackamas...... on the way t…

I just got a voucher for a free 12 month classic bike insurance policy from eBike Insurance - all I did was insure my new R1 with them. Apparently it's a Buy One Get One Free - I'll take any savings I can get right now! www.ebikeinsurance.co.uk

Hello, everyone. Im new to this forum, so hope to get many tip and advice from you all. I did my CBT a few months ago and decided to go out and but a YZF R125. Its a lovely bike and im not sure if id ever go bigger. Im thinking of taking my test on my own bike. What would be the best way to go about this and what restrictions would i have presuming i pass? I have heard that i could ride around on my own bike for two years and then go and buy a 600 if im upfor it. Is this true? What advice has anyone got for the new style test and is it easy? Thanks in advance. Connor James.

It's been stay at home weather in Wiltshire, been annoying the missus by getting in the way in the kitchen while she is doing the dinner. Anybody else in the country had better weather that could get out on their bike?

Hi everyone, Just thought i would say hi as i have just registered here. I have recently bought my first on-road bike - a 1999 DT125r (in need of a little TLC and tidying up), and am hoping this is the right place to come for any advice/info i may need! I have been into offroad bikes for a while now, and fancied something i can green lane on and commute in the better weather! Looking forward to getting chatting to you all. Cheers, Mark

Had a near miss last night from work Was riding thru' freckleton going home. There is this slight bend to the right, (no more than 20° I'd say). On the inside of the bend, there is a newsagents where there was a car parked. An oncoming car is ovrtaking the parked car, at which point the driver of the parked car gormlessly opens the door, the overtaking car consequently swerves into my lane (Narrow lanes) I have to nearly swerve onto the footpath, If I didnt swerve as much as I did, - well, it would have been nasty... bloody gormless driver!...

3 guys are sitting in a house smoking cannabis. after an hour they run out so one guy says "we still have a lot of tobacco, I will go into the kitchen and make up a special one". Off he goes to the kitchen and with the tobacco he mixes cumin powder, corriander powder, garam masala powder and curry leaves. he rolls the joint and, on returning to the main room, he lights up. After one drag he collapses out cold. An hour later he is still out so the other 2 guys take him to the hospital. "What has he been smoking - cannabis?" asks the doctor. "No" say the guys and tell him what was in the last ciggie "Ah" says the doctor. "He will be out cold for 3 weeks" "How do you…
