I want a new helmet. I've had my current one for a few years and its scuffed and scratched, it's also been dropped a few times I had a dual sport which I liked but it got nicked. I currently have a moto x style one but I want to get a full face. After looking at all the options I just don't understand safety wise what the difference between is from a 50 quid to a 1000 quid helmet? Is buying a cheaper helmet dangerous because they are not as strong etc?

I currently obtained a 1977 Yamaha Chappy lb80 from my dad. it was sitting there for a long time and does not currently run. i took it to the shop this morning to have them get it running again. my question is this. after i get it back, is there anything that i can do get more power out of it? obviously keep a clean filter in it, but is there anything else that i can do besides boring out the cyliders? thank you in advance!!! sincerely, happy_chappy_owner p.s. I know these machines were not made for a lot of speed, but i would like to get a little extra "oomph" so to speak as i am right at 200 pounds.

Hi, my name is Bartek and I'm 16, I live in England and obviously I own an Yamaha Something about me: English isn't my first language so I do make mistakes, I study mechanics but I'm just started and my knowledge is poor I started driving this year in march, everything started with Aprilia SR50, thank I moved onto Aprilia RX50 and got into heavy off-roading that my Aprilia RX50 can't really handle and not long ago my friend offered me an Yamaha DT125 in good condition and in perfect working order for amazing price of £150 although it was without v5 papers so it's not road legal any more and luckily I prefer it this way as there are less things to brake when I cr…

Hi Guys Theres been a rash of bike thefts in MK lately. We've lost three from memebers in our club so far this year. It appears they follow you home and wait for an opertunity to just help themselves to your bike, so don't walk away from it or leave it for any time at all. Lock it up, put it away etc before going and getting out of your kit, even if it means getting it out again ten minutes later to wash it. Oh, and one guy has even found some very identifiable parts on ebay within days, but as usual the police are dragging their heals.... Hugh.

Dear Applicant: You have received a tax refund payment of 302.25GBP from HMRC (HM Revenue & Customs) into your Internet Banking Account. Please acce…
