I have an idea and would like some feedback please. Like alot of you im sure i am and have been following various rallies - Dakar, North Africa etc, and the usual Bullrun, Gumball etc. The cost to participate is mind blowing to the average person. My idea is to hold a rally for bikes, covering a large portion of Western Europe, totally Un-official, proberly totally illegal, but all in the name of fun. Basic rules - No Sat Navs, maps only and all have the same. Destination only. No motorways, no toll roads only minor roads only and set for maybe a week or two, oh yes camping only! Just a group of fellow bikers with a mission - to set off at indivi…

Minor rant coming on. I live in London, in a tower block, we have some lockup garages around the base of the block so i thought it would be nice if i could get one to keep my bike in. There is also a lady with a bike who lives nearby and i thought she would like to share garage when i sorted it out. (Helpful like that me) So i gets on to the local council who proclaim no vacant garages anywhere in the known universe, now i had done a little recce and found 7 empty ones all boarded up so i informed the fella that i had been talking with. A week later he gets back to me and says he has found the keys to 2 garages and as the council has the keys they must be empty. (Happy Ha…

Hello Everyone, This is my first time here. I am hoping that someone can help me out. I am in the process of fixing up a 1992 FJ1200 that I bought. I am really having problems finding an aftermarket smoked windscreen for a 92. I can find some but the year only goes to 90. Does anyone know if a 90 windscreen will fit a 92?. Also if anyone has some good websites that I can visit for parts that would be great. Thanks everyone and have a good day! Jeremy

Watched my lad win his 4th straight basketball game today.....his team is undefeated so far this season ......told him we should go for a ride to celebrate.......so we washed the UAV & headed for the Clackamas river.... Where I was amazed how fast the river was flowing & how much the water level had come up since I was here a coupla weeks ago ... That boat ramp was over twice as long last time I was here Such a nice day out.....had to get a shot or 2 of the mountain .... I'm sooooo looking forward to my RideOut to central Oregeon in 2 months! We then rode back home & I went over to a mate's apartment to give a hand…

Hi all, I got myself a 2003 R6 last october after lusting after it for ages! I love it to bits and cant fault it only its previous owner only had 1 key, not a problem i thought i will get one cut. Bugger. After reading through the owners manual and surfing the net it seems i need my red key to get one programed, I have read about getting my current black key cloned so im not f*&k$d if i lose one. Has any one had this done on a Yamaha R6 or know of anywhere where it can be done? Come on i cant be alone out there with only one key! Cheers, any help appreciated!

Hi guys, thought I'd introduce myself before I start posting questions ... Name's Pete, 25 in Leicester and just got myself a tidy Thundercat to replace my tired 1200 Bandit as workhorse/commuter/winter bike. It's my first Yam, with previous rides being MT50, NS125R, GS500, SV650S, 1200 Bandit and current "fair weather only" RSV1000. And I don't drive
