The Bar

I was just wondering about this because I'm licensed to ride any motorcycle in the US. Lets say I came to the UK, and wanted to buy or rent a bike to tour the UK, Ireland, and Scottland on. Would I be able to buy/rent any bike over there like I could here in the US and ride it legally using my current US license, or would I be limited legally on my choices? I know with a car license it should be valid to drive any car in any country worldwide, but I don't know if it would be the same for a bike since you have the graduated license system over there.

i passed my theory today and now i got to think about the practical... basicaly now the way i ride is that i only overtake cars in slow trafic on the left side...... but normally in traffic lights e.t.c i always wait behind other cars, as is i was another car...... i was wondering when i go to the practical exam do i have to ride and when appoching trafic lights e.t.c do i over take cars to the front of the queue or do i just wait behind other cars as is i was another car???? any other tips... im gonna be doing the exam on my 52 plate Yamaha DT125R..... and firstly i need to gain more confidence on the road as i used to offroad terrain and no speedlimits...…

I just bought a 2000 Yamaha Roadstar and the bags were included and so were the frames and bolts and nuts but how does it go on? Anyone have a step by step thing to help me out? Thanks, Randy

Hi all, my names alex, currently riding silver YBR-125 Custom, and its nice to 'meet' you all.

Right i know this is prob going to sound a bit nuts and its nothing to do with dewpy, this is serious, true. I was driving along the A47 today past Desford (Licestershire) when i saw what looked like and i was sober, a SR125 that had been EXTENSIVELY modded to take some sort of old V4 pre unit lump, and i mean old like exposed pushrods and such. It was an inline vertical 45degree V layout, also for some reason a hard tail????? with a sprung seat and was toodling along in his own sweet time at about 40mph. It had MRA on the black tank and had C120MRA as the reg, anybody got any ideas, he was heading into Licester with what looked like his work bag on his shoulder…

Has anyone ever used a Super TECH ST7317 filter on your bikes? If so tell me how it has worked for you. Thanks Randy

Get this- my bike was stolen couple of weeks back and found by the police not too far from my home.They took it in to impound for finger print analysis (whatever- if they even do that) and said they would ring when we could pick it up. Phoned last thur but was unable to get it straight away. Got a letter through the post demanding stating we had to pay 420 pounds to get it back. They have charged storage fee since the day they picked it up...I could have picked it up from day 1 in my van and not had to pay a bloody penny. :angry: :angry: :angry: How do i get my money back?!! Any suggestions welcome (non violent) ...maybe

Greetings Forum, I would like to know if there is a procedure available to remove an existing engine and replace it with a salvaged engine for a 1983 Seca 750. I have owned this bike for close to twenty years and would like to take this project on in the garage for the winter. Any suggestions or links would be appreciated. Regards, Phil

I want to start a "good" product reveiw section, I know other forums have them but they are all pretty basic and not great. I am going to run a competition to write a product review to get this started. The product review must be for something related to your bike and have been purchased this year. I will pick the top 5 reviews, these will then be put into a poll for you guys to vote. If we start getting lots of reviews quickly (20+), I shall end this within a couple of weeks, if not I will wait until we have at least 20. The winner will receive $50 transfered by paypal. Now get writing!
