Westminster Council have decided to start charging for parking in motorcycle bays... £1.50/day It's in 'trial' for 3 months and so far it hasn't been well-received by bikers for obvious reasons. My gripe is that a residents car parking permit costs £115 for the year, a bike is £150 for the year (limited to motorcycle bays, no discount for residents). How can this be fair? If this might afftect you PLEASE take 2 mins to drop an email to the address below and COMPLAIN (very un-British!) [email protected] I am told the scheme will go ahead unless there is 'significant resistance' from motorcyclists. This will come in the form of complaints so…

I apologize in advance if I wasn't supposed to post this here, I am just not getting any replies in any of the other bike forums I tried. My dad owns a 1974 Yamaha 200 Electric. It hasn't been fired since 1978, and has 3400 original miles on it. It has been stored in his shop since 1981 and everything is original, even the tires and light bulbs. The bike is in perfect condition, except for the dust on it. When it ran in 1978 it ran perfectly, but it was given to him by his dad who didn't ride it any longer. My dad just never felt like learning to ride a motorbike. He is a pack rat, so that is why he still owns the bike. He finally decided that he wants t…

Hi All, Just a quickie...oo-er missus. Just bought a 51 plate FZS600 Fazer and loving everything about it bar the Godawful headlights. Live in Midlands, work for ambulance service. That's about it. Good Morning and Hello. DM

Hi folks, have posted a few times already, anyone from Thunder Forum will know me already Finally got off the bikes and took pics. So have now posted (or am about to ) pics of my 2 Yams.... 1996 Thundercat and '53 plate R6.

Just fitted my stainless headers. Took a bit of jiggery pokery, and I had to weld a small extension onto my link pipe, but its all on and good. It sounds awesome. Really deep and throaty. Need a dyno run now though to sort things out. Flat spot at 4 it struggles to pull through, spluttering and coughing, then hits another at 8. Once through that, its nowhere near as quick as it was. Lost mid range and top end. I can feel it holding back. So, Dyno run on Mon or Tues and get it sorted. if no, back to standard lol.

Hi all another newbie here, i own an 05 R1, the wife has just purchased a 52 plate R6, that i'm in need of some help with. Just seen you have a tech probs page so will post on there for the help i am looking for Cheers all Bob.

Why is it so hard to get a XV250 virago in the Davao area

Hi, Just joined the site. I had a look at it earlier today at work and you seem like a decent bunch My boyfriend has an R1 as well as several other bikes. He is mad on bikes, goes all over following the GP. I've finally agreed to go out on the R1 for the 1st time next week!!! I am so scared, but I want to do it. Just not sure how I'm going to hang on!! I thought I'd better join a club so that I can learn a bit about bikes......I have horses so if anyone needs advice on them...I'm your woman. Maria.

passed my test today, was shittin it all weekend that i would fail cos there are no test dates available near me before the new test comes in. breezed it with zero faults and i had a very poor lesson before , just thought i would tell some one .

I would like to know which brand / type of fuel additive you would recommend. It's a 2003 R1 and has done about 16700 miles now and I think it's time to clear her throat. Thanks.

hi am new to this site have treated myself to a new R1 and wondered if there were people local to me who own yamaha etc to ride with etc, i am in tha margate area of kent, lets see what happens ay what.

Can anyone tell me what could be causing my time clock on my 2002 fazer 600 to keep resetting it's self. Have reset the damn time and again, it keeps time for so long, next time I start the bike - low and behold - reset (arggg!!) Going quietly mad !! Thanks J
