The Bar

Thankfully all the summer bikers are coming out of the sheds for the summer, it's nice to see so many more bikes about. But last spring, and this one I'm noticing a trend, none of them nod, maybe my engine size doesn't please them, or they're just snobs. I don't understand, not a single one I've seen thus far will nod back. Kinda makes me laugh, whilst they sat inside all winter polishing and drinking tea I was out, and now they look down on me.

It must be. Larger than normal first post wants with no into and a growing number of workshop questions in the bar again.

I am looking to do a couple of tours on my Thunder cat this Spring/Summer so would love some suggestions for some routes, B&B's, Hotels etc...... Hope some of you can help. Chris

This may have been brought up before but what do people wear or recommend to wear instead of a leather jacket on those scorching summer days we are promised, I do only mean for getting around town and not long trips,

Hey all! So I've finally done it - gone out for a weekend ride in the glorious weather! Since picking my bike up a couple of weeks ago, I've simply strolled down to the shops or gone out for a local jaunt for practise seeing as I've never ridden before. Anyway, around family commitments, I had a few free hours today, and how could I resist this weather?! So I've just come back from a 90 mile ride around some glorious roads. For those who know the area, I went over Woodhead Pass and around Holmfirth / Penistone and then back towards my house, out over Snakes Pass, down to Castleton and over Winnats Pass before ending up in Chapel-on-le-Frith and back up into Glossop.…

i know that i am not a perfect rider or motorist,. however y/day that is sunday, did about 200 miles, met a friend with the same bike great day except... coming and going to our meeting point i had several car drivers push out in front it was like they saw me but came out anyway, in each case i had to slow in order to build up a decently safe distance i don't think i was speeding or going any faster than anybody else what is going on? i can't work it out, mostly elderly men with family in the car but one younger bloke who, judging by his later dithery driving, was lost. the only thing that i can think of to stop…

quite funny for a bit

The time has come where im booking my bike test and moving up to something bigger. I am liking the KTM 625/690 SMC's, Suzuki dr-z. had a look in to the xt660x but couldnt find much positives on it. so might have to move from a yamaha. Any ideas or recommendations. p.s i would use it to commute aswell. cheers

Hi all New to the forum, but an old biker !! If there are any other super tenere riders out there with a solution to the cr*p head lamps please, please, please tell me. I have a 1991 super tenere with the old 35w twin lamps, I can't seem to get a upgrade on the lamps, i.e halogen. Is there a solution for this, can you mod any other head lamps to fit ? Would be grateful to hear from anyone who has achieved a decent light sorce rather than relying on the candle power !! Many thanks Tony

Say "Hello!" !! I'm probably in the wrong forum (bar) but what the hell, found this Yamaha site by mistake (not going to say what I was really looking for :roll: ). Got a few Yamahas at the moment, a Thunderace, a TRX850 with a few mods, and a FZR1000, but that is probably sold cos I don't ride it anymore, (actually, never ridden it !!). catch you later Stormy

Need help Any of you R6 owners experienced problems maintaining a constant speed,eg 60mph ? My bike seems to spike/surge when i try to, it seems to me as if its missing but have just had a service and the bike dealer said its common with the R6. The bike is very smooth when accelerating but maintaing a constant is impossible without power surges, any suggestions would be f*@king brilliant!!!
