The Bar

Seemed good manners to say hello to you guys as I've recently joined the site. I returned to biking some time ago but am presently down to 2 FS1E's and no big bike due to space and money issues. I hope to get something bigger in the not to distant future but will likely be a 2 stroke Yam of some description! Anyway, great site, and thanks for letting me join! Regards Rob

Evening folks! Just thought i'd pop up a post and introduce myself. I'm new to the bike scene and have recently acquired an XS250 US Custom through a colleague at work. It has been sitting in his garage for over 10 years and he decided it was time to have a clear out. I have been wanting to get myself a bike license for years and this little project is just the thing to motivate me to get it done Its a great looking site you have here, and i'm sure you will be seeing a lot more of me.

Hi folks! Great to find a forum with people that share the interest for Yamaha MC's. After years with XL600R and later Elefant 750 - I was looking for something more "urban" and reliable to commuter to work in the city. I fell in love with the Yamaha MT-03, but was uncertain of it because I'm rather tall (1,90 cm). Going to the local Yamaha dealer to test-sit one, it felt surprisingly OK. After a good offer from the delaer I bought a new bronze MT-03 with Leo Vince exhaust ("low-power / 35 bhp instead of "high-power" / 45 bhp, because of local taxes, and because I have been told that it's easy to adjust it). Haven't yet got it, because it's still plenty o…

Hi all, Here be the customary tip of the hat, wherein I introduce myself and tell you all about me.... Name is Woody, bike is a '99 reg 650 Drag Custom in Red n' Silver. I'll most likely be hanging out, asking stupid questions in the Workshop area as I'm pushing towards 40,000 miles on the clock now, 12,000 of which are mine since buying the bike in September last year. This does mena that, due to both her age and my relative inexperience, the bike is at that stage where stuff starts to go wrong!! I ride in all weathers, every day, all year round, so the poor bike does have a seriously hard life. That said, she is well behaved and jumps to it without…

Afternoon folks, After doing the whole fast car thing I've decided to give the whole two wheel malarky a try as well! I'm yet to take my test but I've bought a 1999 R6 so thought I'd sign up as these places tend to be really handy when your a bit stuck. Thanks folks and look forward to using this forum!

Hi there, I'm Swirlie, new to this board, I've got an '06 R6 that I've had for not quite a year now, been riding for over 3 years total and put close to 40k miles on the odometers in my saddle time. Yep, I ride... ALOT. My bikes have been my main forms of transport as well as my main forms of recreation since I started riding. I'm in Panama City, Florida, US, I was a cop for 6 years, and I just joined the army infantry under the 18x SpecForce pipeline. Nice to meet ya'll! Any other questions? And before anyone asks, no, the bike isn't modded or tricked or anything, it's bone stock, and it's more than enough to go get crazy and have an awesome time on!

Hi all today is the first time i've posted though i joined in feb so i thought i was only right to say hello

Well done to Rossi for knocking up another win for Yamaha in Portugal. Also, did you see Marco Melandri's "Spiderman Leathers" and bike paint work? PRetty cool it was but shame he crashed out and wrecked it! :? Unlucky mate.

Just think its usefull to pass these things on-so other peeps can pass it on to their Nana for example, or any other vulnerable types PLEASE PASS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY. I received a call from a 'representative' of BT, informing me that he was dis-connecting me because of an unpaid bill. He demanded payment immediately of £31.00, or it would be £ 118.00 to re-connect at a later date. The guy wasn't even fazed when I told him I was with Virgin Media, allegedly VM have to pay BT a percentage for line rental! I asked the guy's name - he gave me the very 'English' John Peacock with a very 'African' accent - & phone number - 0800 0800 152 0800 0800 1…
