Hi everyone. quite a while to wait until im 17 but im starting to consider my options in regards to personal transport. The DT will be going soon after my b'day and i've been quoted £250 to insure me on my Jawa 350 (TP F&T) which would be ideal as it shouldn't take more than £100 to get the jawa tarted up and running. however, im starting to consider getting a small car as i dont quite fancy freezing my tits off by riding through another winter, Ford Capri 1600 Laser would be nice but thats £2,500 to insure and no doubt will need the floorpans welding back in at some point or another. so i looked at the insurance for a Peugeot 106, bit more reasonable as i…

Hi guys, Im after some more valuble advice from you guys out there. I have a Fazer 600 s late 2008 model, its been run in, nearly 3500 miles already, but now i seem to be getting a lot of vibration through the seat when i hit between 57 mph and 66 mph. After, and before these speeds no vibration at all, very comfortale riding. The vibration is coming up through the seat area, very nice if your a woman im sure, but not for me.

Hi everyone. I bought my first bike on saturaday. Its a 1996 fzr 600r (foxeye) which i bought private. I absolutely love it by the way! Its got fsh, 20k miles, recently serviced, 2 new tyres, new brakes new stainless downpipes, great condition for its age and it only cost me a grand! Its pretty much perfect except for one thing thats bugging me. The pillion seat on it doesn`t seem to fit down properly. It is as if it is missing some fixings at front of the seat. I slide the front of the seat in first then push the back down and it clicks and locks in but there is nothing to slide the front part of the seat into so when it locks into place the front part of the seat kin…

Once again the age old excuse came out I got knocked off my bike last night , some p**** pulled straight across front of me without even slowing down . i'm now laid up in bed unable to walk , damaged ligaments and muscles in both legs from knee down . amazingly i've not got so much as a scratch anywhere else thanks to leathers , and my legs would have been much worse but my boots took a lot of the impact, how anyone cant see a yellow bike with headlights on when its getting dark is beyond me . anyway my fz600 is now a complete write off , only had it a week , and it looks like im gonna be laid up for weeks til i can walk right again , doc said my left leg should …
