The Bar

Did the service with Tony yesterday, and it all went swimmimgly apart from Tony busting a couple of the quick release plastic clip things and me sulking at his suggestion of replacing them with similar items from the local car shop aaaaaaaaaaagh . Just the thought drives me wild, so another 20 mile trip for 2 clips worth 85p each I suppose you cant put a price on peace of mind. ( god I sound sad, But if a jobs worth doing........) Anyway its done. I went for a quick blast to Squires which is about 2 miles from my house. I didnt let the clutch warm up enough before grabbing a handfull and it wasnt happy about going into gear a couple of times but once it was warm and marin…

Pets The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door. Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. The stairwaywas not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on…

have i been naughty or something just ive noticed that thing that says warn % wot is it ? <

Hi folks! Great to find a forum with people that share the interest for Yamaha MC's. After years with XL600R and later Elefant 750 - I was looking for something more "urban" and reliable to commuter to work in the city. I fell in love with the Yamaha MT-03, but was uncertain of it because I'm rather tall (1,90 cm). Going to the local Yamaha dealer to test-sit one, it felt surprisingly OK. After a good offer from the delaer I bought a new bronze MT-03 with Leo Vince exhaust ("low-power / 35 bhp instead of "high-power" / 45 bhp, because of local taxes, and because I have been told that it's easy to adjust it). Haven't yet got it, because it's still plenty o…

....is nor more! i went out all afternoon sunday: Abergavenny, Talgarth, Builth Wells, Llandindrod, Newtown. Coming back i was riding through Hereford. Pulled away from a set of lights, a car decided to do a right turn straight in front of me. i wind up in Hereford County Hospital all evening, badly bruised - specially the family jewels went over the back of the car-with a somersualt. the bike has been recovered to 'who knows' and the last i saw of it, it looked very poorly. i think it is a write off, only 700 miles too! oh well, onwards and upwards! wont be sleeping much tonight tho!

I'm having terrible trouble reading the forum for weeks now it has taken ages for the page to load - if at all. This is first post since forum has moved to new servers I think. So I'm gonna make it a long one! How you getting on with the Oxford Grips OG?! I've fitted some to my T'cat and well - Awesome is all I can say. I was on A57 (two weekends ago) from Sheff when silencer clamp bolt fell off and silencer twisted round and stuck out a mile (grounding on right handers). Shit myself. After my Brother rescued me I nearly drowned going through deep water near Bamford (Water coursing off the hills from the melting snow). Shit myself again. Was great though, looked …

So whats your thoughts on this ?? http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/technolo...000/7886427.stm

Hey everyone. My name is Ryan. Im from Allentown, Pa. I am 18 and have been riding motorcycles and dirtbikes since I was 3 years old. And I started drag racing dirtbikes when I was 4. I used to race a Yamaha PW50 when I started. Then I stopped racing when I started school. But I kept riding dirt bikes and fourwheelers. Then when I turned 17 I bought a 1983 Honda Interceptor VF750F. I knew people that were friends with my dad that raced Interceptors back in the day and I always thought they were awesome bikes. So I rode that for a yer and put a bunch of miles on it and even took it to the dragstrip . It ran a 12.3 @ 108MPH. And my best reaction time was a .009…

Hi ladies and gents. My names Tom, unsure why i didn't sign up to this forum when i got my bike 2 and a half years ago, but hey, i've done it now. I'm 22 and i ride a DT 125 X (56 plate) few pics to follow.

I have just bought a 2006 TDM 900, it is unbelievable, I did a bit of research on finding a bike that would do what I wanted, I want to do road trips, I want to be able to mix that with a bit of sports riding and am a fit 55. This bike fits the bill perfectly. It more than satisifies my desires, it puts a silly grin on my face every time ride it and I have only had it 2 weeks. Living in Southern NSW, Australia, the mountainous roads in North East Victoria are not far away, its hard to keep working. I hope registering on this site might be an opportunity to share views an opinions about this bike. Thanks, Pete.

well im amazed it lasted 2 years but the urge to the dark side was too strong why...cos this bike is ridden all year round (well not in foot deep snow that i'll admit to) and it was looking sorry for itself

Althog iv had my bike licene for 5 years iv not done a lot off miels so think off myself as not a exprienaced reider. so when i bought my virago my second bike( the vfr soon for sale i thnik lol ) The guy where id bought it from asked had i ever riden a shaft drive befor i no he then said dont change down at speed slow with engien and then change down or you will lock the back wheel up. but would it be safe to change down to over take say from 5 to 4 at duel carage way speeds. Im just not shure and dint wont to try just in case i lock up Thanks Andy Ps how do i get the spell checker to work

Just a quick post to say hi, I'm 17 in March and have just ordered a YBR 125 and CBT for my first bike I'm also looking to do my proper bike licence so I get on a bigger bike. Any riders from Stoke on Trent in the UK here?
