The Bar

Hey all, just thought i'd introduce myself. I'm Nathan, i'm 17, and i'm relatively new to riding. I'm up in the northwest and I ride everywhere, whenever I can! It's been known for me to ride to the south of wales for weekends and the such. Owned three Yams - a Jog, a Neo's and my current DT125 SM. Looks like a nice community here! Look forward to meeting some of you!

Hi guys a newbie to R1's and the site here, What a great site! still feeling my way around at the moment. 2 weeks ago I bought an '06 R1 Raven, I rode the gixer 1000, ZX10 and Blade but the R1 had it all by miles class, handling, style, power, looks I could go on... After a long ride back to London from Devon I noticed that my front brake's sounded different whilst manouvering the bike around my yard, a light knocking sound was coming front the front brake calipers under light braking eventually I found that the brake pads themselves were moving (only a few millimetres) within both of the calipers causing them to knock, all the pins etc... are in place and nothing …

Hi all I am a new member and would welcome any advice or comments about TR1's as I have just brought one. The bike is in exelent condition with only 13,000 miles from new but has a problem with the gear lever not returning to its central position making gear changes difficult. I think it is just the return spring broken or not seated propperly as the previous owner said that it worked properly before he fitted a new starter motor. Has anyone done one of these? Joe

For the second time now I've had my tax disc stolen. Is there any traffic cops on this forum that can shed some light where bikers stand legally when riding without a disc. I would have thought that in this day and age with police cars fitted with automatic number plate recognition that can tell if the vehicle is taxed and insured do we really need to display a valid disc which is so prone to theft? The first thief who stole my disc altered the registration number to read his own but left Honda cycle on and put it in his car.

Some f%ckwhit knocked my bike over when i was at my work and the fu%*ers drove off. F&CK%R!!! Arrived at 4pm and at 5pm some woman came in saying that my bike was over!!!! Ran out and my wonderful DT125RE was lying like a corpse. Broken indicators, bent handlebar, scratched fairing and the throttle is sticking like it has cruise control. Disgusting. Just had it polished and fired a can of ACF - 50 for protection for the winter. Called Plod right away and he arrived at 930pm, nea doubt. CCTV all around so they they will check tomorrow, but the twist is Plod says because its not a part of the public highway (because its a car park with no through road i.e it ha…

Hey guys, New to the site, not new to motorcycles. Been riding since not long after I can walk probably, thanks to my parents owning a Yamaha dealership. I had a great child hood lol. I currently ride a 2007 R6, and previously had a 2000 R6. I also have my old man's 1976 Harely Davidson FLH, his first bike he ever owned. Good for those long rides. Just want to say hey, and keep the rubber side down. Travis

Hi guys, just joined up think i was on yer before cant remember to be honest well i ride a yam thunderace 1000cc on a 96 what i love hahah so does me wife.

Well hello all, Thought I would 'pop in' and say hello - I read loads of posts on this forum before I bought my first bike and the conversations and general love for the bikes convinced me I was on the right path! Will be spending many hours picking peoples brains on here - I can't wait to learn all about them! Oh and in the end I bought a 2002 125 Drag Star... Loving it so far!

Hi. Not new to bikes, just this forum. I have a Yamaha FZ1N 2008 (pics to follow) done a few things to it already and it is an amazing bike...
