As y'all know, I have a 1998 Thunderace... It's THIS colour: Vivid Red Cocktail But..! There's ANOTHER one!!! VERY close to where I live, I see it sometimes on the way to work! It's even the same colour pattern!!! I don't know who he is or where he lives or how long he's had it, but it's really, REALLY strange seeing 'my' bike on the road! lol There's so few of them left, and this is the only other one I've seen in 'my' colours. I'm getting mine back on the road for the start of the season after riding my V-Strom for the last year. I'll surprise him one morning and drop into convoy..!

Just worked out how to use the IPB mobile app to get the forum up and useable. You have to add a community. Name : Yamaha Club Forum URL : www.yamahaclub.com Then it adds it to your list and works quite well from there.

Evening Peeps Has anyone created a list or link to Yamaha shared or compatible parts ? I’m looking to replace the standard wheels on a 98 TDR 125 for spoked wheels, Are DT 125 or XT600 660 hubs compatible etc, can I change the forks and yokes for say a 600 Diversion ? What wheels run bigger brake disks etc ? Thanks for the info Gaz

I don't get this, I'm booking some trips in the early part of the new year. To get to NY flying Virgin I can go on a premium economy for £400 ish notes yet the economy is only £50 less. The business class ticket is about a grand more and almost identical to the premium economy. Now, if I fix the return flight date the business class ticket becomes as cheap as the premium economy but the return flight is on a Continental. BA want almost £2k for the business ticket and £350 for the cheapie cheap ticket. It seems that small variables in the travel plans make massive differences to the flight price. What happened to the good old days of First Class, Club and Econom…

Anyone on line at the mo? Sat here watching the comedy awards :? sipping a celebratory glass of fizzy wine as I have passed my end of year degree exams before I get any slagging off at being a student I am a mature student.....buggered it up the first time in a haze of drunken nites :wink:

anyone watching it? it's about an american who's came out of a coma that he's been in in 19 years! can you imagine that! he still thinks he's the same age as he was when he went in. it must have been very hard for his family, not to mention his mental state when he came out of it.

Folks, Not long after getting my mitts on a 2000 R6 but unfortunately the user manuals been soaked and is virtually unreadable. Can anyone advise me on the best tyre pressures? Cheers!

Hi all hope everyone is well in Yamaha land. Went out for a tootle yesterday, bit of a shakedown run really, anyway on the way back in there is a stretch of about two miles which is pretty good for a blast to finish off. Yesterday l followed a shogun up the hill that leads to the stretch. This geezer in the Shogun suddenly became all Jenson Button after spotting me in his mirrors. What a laugh he was all over the road trying to keep me behind him. They are bloody fast them shoguns he reached nearly 90mph at one point. Laugh l nearly fell off!!! what a plonker rodney. Any other daft car stories out there Catch ya later.

when i got my bike after doing some minor repairs like new clutch cable and speedo cable. after a thourough clean inside and out (even went the full way and cleaned the carb!!!) i rode it and discovered some flat spots on the uptake, so i had it whisked off to the tuneing shop after many attempts to fix it. one week later it arrives back, new jets and a service as well as a few other jobs to clear up. i get on it starts first time and vrrrrrmmmmmmm off like a rocket most fun yet. obviously extra catuion must b taken for riding but if you want more fun it is recommended.

gonna go with some pirelli dragon evo's for my exup...only £129 from my local dealer quality deal i think

Happy Birthday Seven
