I had to share this with everyone - i managed to get out on my bike for the first time this year for a proper blhaat! At last, the weather is looking better and summer is creeping in slowly, but surely! Did any one else manage to make the most of the sun today? I nearly sold my bike two weeks ago cos i was soooo fed up with the snow and winter chill - so today has been a God send...and my bike is off teh market! yippee! Happy riding all!

my daughter is 7 and keeps badgering me to get the gear so she can go on the back with me is there actually any laws that say they must be ..?..old or ...?...height or what i know theres a lot of bikers that do take their kids on the back this is her at the rock and bike night at squires cafe (the owner asked me if shed like to sit on the bike) mind she can bugger off if she thinks im buying her a harley... yammy yes for sure and the twins more bikers in the making (my old gpz750r)

Help needed, I have a 2001 DTR French import with power valve servo fitted.......i have used the info from the web site but it won't go past 60mph or 7k rpm. I have taken out and taped up the red switch but it made no difference!. I have a full DEP system fitted...any ideas??

I've just read the posting, by Goff, about Santa Pod --------- I'll bet it's nowt like this Seaside Event (who said "Thank Goodness) ----- You may recognise the Beeza (The bike number 14 NOT THE RIDER -- that's Wildone) because it's posted under "Originality" and under "Kids riding pillion" but who reconises the fella in the blue coat with the canna Duchams best green stuff ? It's Des Heckle who, at the time, was the holder of several standing start WORLD RECORDS. His fiance of the time, Irene Scargill, was sprinting that event too on a megga - low tri-cart made by Des. I promise that I'm not joking but Irene was, still is I suppos…

Robbie Maddison achieves the impossible, jumping his motorcycle over 120 feet to the top of the Arc de Triomphe at the Paris Las Vegas HERE

Hi All. Thought I'd start a topic about somethin that popped up in another discussion. How do you think modern Moto GP / WSB riders would fare when introduced to the challenge of Road Racing? Think Stoner could tackle the TT without sh*tting himself??? Would he even get to the top of the mountain??? No-one can deny the skill and achievements of people like Rossi, but heroes of old like Agostini also had success on the roads. My dad still talks about guys of that era racing at the UGP. Obviously i'm well aware the teams would never allow their superstars to 'risk' riding at the road events, but thought we'd enjoy debating anyway. Good to see peopl…

I came across this today, figured you might get a kick out of it. (at least she's wearing one)

This is my first winter using a bike, correct me if I'm talking 'Betty' here, do salted roads which have had no rainfall to wash them have a slight 'glaze' on them, I kno some of the other slip hazards, like- White lines, man-hole covers, 'segment transition strips (the tar line that joins, well,,,joins), banana skins, KY, and laminate flooring pieces-yep thats laminate flooring pieces. I've not had a slide but it doesnt too 'old age friendly.

Hello all , Anyone out there know of an RD500LC layed up anywhere ? Really just need the engine and wiring loom , but , if there's a basket-case i would be interested . Mat

The Yamaha TY 250 Monoshock quickly established itself as the yardstick trials iron . It overcame it's original "too expensive" tag and became the "MUST HAVE" and was the one to beat for years on end. The one shown below is from the original batch but had it's frame, swinging arm and exhaust system chromed too whilst it was sleaved down to 200 cc's to come within the engine size permitted for B Class (younger 11 > 13 yearolds) Youth's

Just had a laugh with Bennetts (it's all about the bike!) Insurance whilst trying to insure and old V75a. I know not very glamorous but thought it would be easy to insure as they are a "bike" specialist, but how wrong was I! They have earlier and later models but not mine, guy went off to the underwriters for a couple of minutes and came back and asked if it was blue or red? It's neither, it's orange (very 70's) and ok well we can't insure it. Granted, orange is not the best colour but surely that's colourist? There should be a law against that?!! Does anybody know a bike friendly insurer out there? Ally ps bet the dutch will be piss…

Hi. I`m new here. Just finnished rebuilding an r6. Bought it crashed. Putting it to the test on thursday at Mondello. can`t wait. first track day of the year

Hiya guys n gals...could I possibly pick your brains here for a moment? My R6 is currently shod in Michelin Pilot Sports tyres..... backs wearing a tad low now so Im thinking of sorting replacements...whats your thoughts on these tyres? Dunno whether to stick to the same or whether you reckon something else is better. I dont commute on this bike, purely a fair weather biker on this Any thoughts / recommendations appreciated..

Hi, I ride a Thundercat, been riding since I was 17, started of on a Honda CBR125r, at 18 bought a 97 Thundercat. Im riding a 55 Honda CBR 600f while my bike is getting repaired after a car decided to use me as his brakes. The damage came to an estimated 1800 quids worth, was hoping for a write off so I could take advantage of the Yamahas 0% finance and purachase a new R6 but I'll be happy to get my bike back! Im a member of superbike forums, don't know if any one on here is?

Greetings from NZ Am a new boy here but do the forum bit all over the world most around the TZ's I own. They are: 1) A schmick TZ750 Twinshock in KR yellow black colour scheme 2) A McIntosh TZ350F that I race hee in NZ and Australia. 3) A rev cylinder TZ250U Plus have also just bought a very tidy OW01 which I kid you not is the first 4 stroke streetbike I have owned since a CB100 Honda.

TZ's of 54mm stroke and pre 1980 or so are very much a speciality in the house with…
