Well peeps, much like a domestic cat i have brought home a half-dead but adorably tiny piece to play with. Yep, it's another chappy!... bought this one at the Kempton Park autojumble on saturday, looking very sorry for itself, the front end is in a carier bag with bent forks and generally looking sorry for itself. Tonight will mainly be spent reassembling and finding out what is missing, luckily i still have a selection of parts from my american chappy which i did manage to smuggle back (seat, wheel, complete exhaust e.t.c), started with a few kicks and ran quite nicely ,only thing it is missing is a headlight although im fairly sure i have a …

A friend of mine has just started up a new internet site to sell bikes. It's only just started, so not much on it at the moment, but it's FREE!!!! It's a bit like the Autotrader site to use, give it a go. www.bikeagent.co.uk

Well peeps, its an extra-long weekend, what did you do with your time off? I went on a rideout with one of my old school mates, went from Newbury to Bournemouth (via loomies cafe for breakfast, where i spotted some gorgeous RDs, soooo shiny!) Then in bournemouth i won a furby at the arcade. Then we rode on to swanage, where i won a space monkey at the arcade Lots and lots of bikes out and about today, did you go anywhere nice/different?

After getting knocked off my last XJ6 and the bike getting wrote-off, i didnt imagine i'd get a new one for the same price as the first (£4100). However today put a deposit down on a XJ6S from George White for £3999 on 0%. Chuffed to bits...only downer was dropping the TDM coming out of work....oh well you win some you lose some. Will be glad to be an XJ6 owner again, they are so underrated it is unbelievable.

Hi, I have a '99 Yam XJ600N twin disc model. Having a rattle which sounded like a loose brake pad coming from the front caliper i took it off to find that an anti-rattle shim is missing. Brakes still function fine but it needs sorting out. Having looked round the web i can't find anyone selling them. Is it worth contacting a dealer? (dont want to pay through the nose though). Help please. Matt

I was looking on tinternet today and loved the look of the XT660r. This drew me to the TDM 850 and how I used to love the look of the bike. The question is, what are they like? Especially for a short ar*e. I know about cutting seats and lowering kits but general views would be welcome. BTW the DT is NOT for sale. Cheers

Hello All. I am planning a move to Derbyshire within the next couple of months and was wandering if there was any biking clubs or regular get together's organised by people on here?
