Just been made aware of this: HERE

Hi everyone, i forgot to introduce myself so i thought i'd throw this up and let you see the bloody mess i've made of a nice bike. I've just bought an 'Ace for a few long trips over Summer with me mates and the missus in Europe. Its not the first Yam i've owned and truth be told all my mates still consider me to be a Yamaha Man, over the years i've had DT50, RS125, YB100, YPVS350, FZ750, FZR600, FZR1000 Gen, and probably a few more i've forgotten. I bet the pics dont work, i'm Terry Fuckwit when it comes to 'puters.

Thanks in advance guys and gals and ride safe simon

Anyone experiencing the same pinging noise? I googled it and it seems like it's fairly common just want to hear it from 1st hand yamaha owners.Here in South Africe we run 95 Octane fuel.I've been told octane booster will sort it out, but my main concern is, is it harmfull to ride with the ping?

Hi folks, Just purchased a Carbon front mud guard extender, and not to sure what type of glue I should use. I would appreciate some advice on this, thinking about it myself it would have to be some kind of silicone sealer any advice would be welcome. Phil.

Hi everyone. ive got my school prom in June and some of us have started making plans already RE: Limos and transport and all that mumbo jumbo. but whats the best way to make an entrance?, something different preferably, but not OTT. Maybe i could sweet-talk Goff into giving me a ride on the back of her streetfighter

just a quick question! on a normal sunday ride out how fast does the average bloke or lady ride before they say thats fast enough and they back off the throttle and say THIS IS STUPID!. Bearing in mind its a nice national speed limit road they know and the weathers perfect an all that stuff. I know people are going 2 say, depends on the bike and the experience of the rider, but everybody has a limit don't they? is it just nudge the 60mph limit or abliterate it!!!!!!!!!. thanks.

yea you read it right she is a beast, i love to ride her shame it isnt a yammy Kawasaki Ninja Zx6r

Having a chat at work today and Pete asked me when i was going to restore the old nail (the DT). I said i wouldnt want to as after having the bike since 1988 just about every scratch dent and bodge are mine. Its generally tidy although the engine needs some hugs and kisses, rattle can paintjob and it has been used to commute, trail, enduro. Everything. He couldn't see this and said it would look great if i restored it to its former glory. We couldnt agree and i wonderd what you lot thought......?

Hi First of all hello to all I'm new on here and from Dublin Ireland. I do not own a Yamaha at the moment but have owned many in the past and am looking to get a Yam 2 stroke. In the past I have come accross a number of RGV 250's with RG 500 engines fitted. Then I thought why not put an RD500 engine into a TZR. Has anyone ever done this?? What do you think?? Regards Brian

any members attend this rally, after this event, a woman in my street told me that her bush now smells of pee ?

Hi folks Just recently got myself a 1990 XJ900 so i thought i should join you lot and say hello! Really pleased with it so far,i just need to get a pair of new cans for the back as they have been repaired with chemical metal and are a bit ropey! Donald

Police in Liverpool have arrested 3 of 4 well known Scouse Islamic terrorists: Bin Snortin, Bin Dealin and Bin Thievin. There was no sign of Bin Workin. :P

If someone responds to your topic what is the best way to get back in touch with them? I have responded via replys and have had mixed results. If you put someone on your friends list do they get an e-mail or some other kind of notice without them having to return to the forum and topic they replied to ? If so how do you put someone on your friends list? Thanks to all. Ed

...In a row i can get out on the bike without 2 layers of thermals on!

Hi, I thought I'd ask the experts about a 50cc machine for my son. I've been looking at bikes like the Aprillia, Gilera and Derbi when I came across a 1989-90 (G) DT50 being rebuilt by A yamaha shop in Poole (local to me). I have a few questions: 1) are parts hard to get? 2) is it a good bike for everyday use? 3) is £950 a fair price? 4) is there anything I need to look out for? This is the sort of bike I would have ridden when i was a young whipper-snapper, but don't want to be swayed by nostalgia! Thanks in advance Tony

Just fitted a Conti Sport Attack in compound C to the rear of my 1000 and in my opinion it is every bit as good, if not better than the michelin Pilot Power 2ct. In the wet it actually seems considerably better. I still consider the Michelin as hard to beat on the front but the Conti is most definately an excellent drive tyre and quite a bit cheaper as well! Considering how much poor weather some of you folk encounter,I thought you may like to know of a tyre that has great all round characteristics and these certainly do! HAVE A BLAST! Paul.

Lidl are doing some motor cycle gear from the 16th March, may be worth a look if you have a store nearby. Lidl site Don`t know what the quality is like, but the prices look good.
