    Geday all, Wondering if anybody has heard of any information as to when and if the baby R1 will be available in Australia. Apparently it was displayed at the Sydney bike show. Was this to gauge public interest or a sign of its intended release to the Aussie market? HAVE A BLAST! Paul.

    An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando , thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North. On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'. The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for. The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. The American thanked the priest and went along his way. Next stop was in Atlanta . There, at a…

    Hi Guys Been riding a dt 125r (2006 reg) in london on a CBT for 3 months....going to take my full license (restricted for 2 years) in the next 2 weeks. I'm doing a 3 day course with Metropolis in london, 3rd day includes the test. I would like to find out if anyone has done their bike test on a dt 125? To get the license the bike must hit at least 62mph....I think mine tops out at 65mph but it does take a good push and strech to get there...Do you think I'll be ok with this? The other thing is that although i'm quite comfortable i'm still quite cautious when riding specially when doing u turns and slow riding...like to keep my foot close to the floor just i…

    Hi, all I have bought a 535 with a blown ECU. The story goes that a used one was bought and fitted which gave it a spark. The fuel pump wasn´t working so it was disconnected from the loom and a live feed was put to it which made it work. The bike then started and ran ok. The pump was then plugged back in to the loom but didn´t work. A live feed was put to the pump which then ran and the bike started. Shortly afterwards the ECU burnt out. I personally I would´t have put a live feed into the loom! Has anyone any ideas? Also, I need an ECU. lol
