Two aliens landed in the Arizona desert near a gas station that was closed for the night. They approached one of the gas pumps and the younger alien addressed it saying, 'Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader.' The gas pump, of course, didn't respond. The younger alien became angry at the lack of response. The older alien said, 'I'd calm down if I were you.' The younger alien ignored the warning and repeated his greeting. Again, there was no response. Annoyed by what he perceived to be the pump's haughty attitude, he drew his ray gun and said impatiently, 'Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Do not ignore us this way! Take…

Hi! I bought a thundercat 600 not to long ago and notice that when i get stuck in slow moving traffic (for no longer than 5 minutes) the heat creaps up really quickly and eventually 5 minutes later the temperature of the bike is just over 100*C then the fan kicks in and cools it back down. Is it normal for a bike to heat up that quick?? (Its my first big bike so im unsure!) My uncle had a fazer and he said his fan only ever came on once when he was in the middle of france in the middle of summer stuck in traffic but that is the only time, so i feel that the maybe a problem with my radiator (blockage etc). ALSO!!!! Does anyone know of any riding groups in…

Hi everyone, new here. I've just turned sixteen and I'm hoping to get some sort of motorbike. I'm not too keen on the scooters and I was looking for something like a TZR 50. You may think that *oh God, here's a typical teen just looking for something to thrash about and impress his mates* No, I'm not! Would it be a good choice? I've posted a thread in the wanted section also, but- I'm in West Bridgford, Nottingham. Is there anywhere I could purchase one from? If you're selling one of know of someone who is, I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know. Thanks, Yamaha_Newbe.

Hi All, I'm the proud new owner of a YBR 125, my first bike and I need a really good waterproof outdoor cover. The only positive reviews seem to be on a Tucano cover but I can't find one for love nor money! Anyone any ideas where I can get one or of another brand that works really well? I was going for an Oxford Stormex but read the reviews and decided against it! Thanks.

Hey Everyone, I'm new to the club and was wondering if someone could help me out. Last week i was coming home from work and I ran over a nail. I didn't notice anything because my tire still had full pressure in it. It was when I was getting gas that i saw the nail's head. I put a plug in it and so far it seems to be fine (about 200 miles). Should i order a new tire asap or would it be ok for the rest of the season? Thanks for reading.

Hi all, New around here, I'm looking at getting a YZF-R125 and am currently getting quotes for insurance that are ranging from £650 (H & R Insurance) to £1300 (Carole Nash) and some even more than that! Was wondering if these kind of prices were normal as they seem rather high to me? About me, I'm 22 in a couple of weeks and have held a full (clean) driving license for over 4 years, bike value is £3k and will be kept in a locked garage overnight. Any YZF-R125 owners willing to disclose what they're paying - and also what license they hold etc? Ta,
