My Ride Reports from Spain have been a bit thin on the ground this year due to work commitments. But amazingly I had a free day.....so off I went to explore an area I'd never been to before....the Sierra de Pozo National Park. Going through Castril I encountered the remains of a Suzuki strewn everywhere! Closer investigation revealed it was the debris from my mate's DL1000....he recently rode over all the way from the UK, along with another mate on an R1200GS. Then he managed to break his foot 15 miles from my house! Being a good friend I retrieved the plastic cos I've still got his Strom (and the GS) in my garage and they went home by plane! I know how to show…

Hi i am new here and need help. I bought my fzr250 import about 3 days ago, she hasn't been looked after so i have stripped her down and given her a fresh respray. However the exhaust is standard and has a hole in and rather than replace it with another standard exhaust i was wondering if anyone on here may have or help me source a nicer looking aftermarket one. It doesn't have to improve performance just after something nice. I was wondering if the exhaust of a fzr400 or 600 would bolt straight up? Please help Kind Regards Paul

I know someone can bail me out here... I´m purchasing a bike (1981 yamaha xj750 seca) from my neighbors son who now resides in California. Since his move he has lost all paperwork on it but I still need to get a title to plate the thing. To make an EXTREMLY long story short, where can I find the VIN on this bike? The VIN on the sticker has song since worn off due to cable chaff and I see no stamping for it. Any help here? Thanks, Moondine

I often see this as a strange subject for bikes. I dont understand why a bike with 30,000 miles is seen as a bad thing if it has been looked after, services by a dealer and is most importantly straight! Cars now do 100,000 fine without issues! I use my bike almost everyday for work and i do about 80miles a day to and from work and although yes i know it wil be worth less but surely the enjoyment from getting out there on a top class bike and enjoying it is better than worrying about the mileage on it each time. And wouldnt a bike thats used more often be ridden more concervativly as they need the reliability out of it rather than tearing the nuts off it every odd…
