The Bar

Hey wonder if anyone has any info?Here in the good old RSA models arrive or news on models arrives long after it happens in Europe.Some six months ago the 660 Tenere arrived here and has made huge waves as one far as up riding goes.I've heard rumours of further 800 and 1200cc models coming this year.Are these models known anywhere else?Touring on and offroad here is pure bliss and if rumours are true-the Beemer,etc crowd will cry like hell.

changed plugs ht coil plug caps and battery to try and cure a misfire and shite running at low rpm. still no joy. dont reolly want to strip the carbs.

Any info on reducing the lean running of this bike, low revs almost means stalling. Changed the pipe and no difference, into the electronics we go! Info?

:D yeehar guys passed ma test this mornin 2 minors, buzzin :D

IGNORE!

I am new here and was just wondering if a sixteen year old can pass a CBT test but wait until he is seventeen and then purchase a 125cc bike without having to retake the CBT test again? Also, after passing the CBT test, is a full license presented or an updated provisional license? Kirk47

got called today to see if i would take a cancelation on the second part of test i said yes so i sit my test(module 2) next tuesday yeha hope i pass

Hi all. I'm planning on doing my full motorbike test this year, got my theory test in a few weeks. I can't make my mind up wether to do a restricted license or a direct access and was hoping for some advice. A massive part of me wants something a bit quicker than my ybr 125(not silly fast, but with the ability to overtake on A roads for example and do some more 'spirited' b road rides in the sun), but the sensible part thinks, 'stick to it for a another year or 2 and then move on once the restriction ends' (and make the most of the 120+ mpg average). I'm not daft enough to think that I won't end up in hospital at some point because of bikes but I know after passing my ca…

Hello guys, Ive got my module 2 test on Wednesday and just wondered if anyone has recently passed and how it went. Any advice would be appreciated. Regards. Derek.

hello all, i am looking to buy an FZ1 / 2006 onwards / and am looking to read any test reports that have been written, can anyone point me in the direction where i can find them to give me a better idea if this bike is for me. Many thanks in advance. Graham

Hello, everyone. Im new to this forum, so hope to get many tip and advice from you all. I did my CBT a few months ago and decided to go out and but a YZF R125. Its a lovely bike and im not sure if id ever go bigger. Im thinking of taking my test on my own bike. What would be the best way to go about this and what restrictions would i have presuming i pass? I have heard that i could ride around on my own bike for two years and then go and buy a 600 if im upfor it. Is this true? What advice has anyone got for the new style test and is it easy? Thanks in advance. Connor James.

So, I have a set of Joe Rocket textile gear, and i have a problem I like my things to be clean. This suit, after a year of abuse in all elements, is filthy. It wouldnt be so bad if it were black, but it has huge white patches that catch grime and just make it look like i stopped the bike, got off, and rolled around in the dirt. I read the care instructions on the label inside the coat, but it says i cant dry clean, machine wash, soak, etc etc this thing. it doesnt say anything about cleaning it via telepathy, but unfortunately i appear to not have that gift. how do you clean your textile gear? im at my wits end here. heres what it looks like - …

...I'm off work today! Not 1 cloud in the sky, no wind and nice and warm! Could creep up to 13C... This calls for a Scarborough trip me thinks! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I just wanted to say a big thankyou for your help with the tyre pressure on my XJ900, I would have said thanks a while back but due to the kidneys stones giving me grief I have only got round to doing it yesterday, I managed to take the bike for a short spin (30 miles ).......................so THANK YOU

hi folks, just had it confirmed that the bike is good to go and will be picked up next Monday for shipping back home to the UK. thanks to everyone who chipped-in with advice and assistance. see you all in the fast lane soon... Grave(ly ecstatic)

got my Tshirt today! cheer's Foamy your a star

thank god for ebay and halfords lol, cost me just under 100 quid and did it all on my weekend off! waiting that week before i polished it was a bloody long wait though!! lol

what a shame it wasted my time to become a member of this forum, its the first one i´ve fully joined and i WAS very excited about my new yamaha and becoming part of a club, thanks for nothing though, could not 1 single person take the time to help out another biker here and give me a few simple bits to look out for when buying my next bike??? i remember when bikers stuck together and helped each other, what a shame this does not seem to be the case in this "forum" / "kiddies chat room"

Just a quick line to say thanks to "oldgitonabike" and "R4v" for their sound advice re adjusting splines - I'm so new to this I at first thought it was a typo should be "spines"!!! Had them adjusted as recommended - it has made a great improvement - can get my foot under the gear lever properly now!! It is fantastic that newbe's such as myself can get good, sound advice from forum members without feeling like a muppet of the highest order. Any how many thanks and I look forward to more help when I ask what are probably very basic questions without the feeling of total inadequacy. We've all got to start somewhere!! Regards, Matt
