Hiya all. I made a singlespeed-autoclutch trasher into a dirttool to learn my 8YO son safely how to ride mopeds. Started with showing son there is no shame in riding slowly, its ok to highside or lowside as you please. Nephews, friends and girlfriends of both son and daughter joined us, helping to conquer the dirt. Had a few somers great fun untill the bike was utterly worn out. Somewhere a Suzuki LT50 entered the stage, it was mega great fun untill the cylinder started puking pistons. Made a goodlooking frankensteiner, Puch 2speed manual clutch 50cc engine in a DT50MX frame. That lasted only 1 summer.... Next i bought myself a YZ125, refurbished it and had some…

Just a word of advice. I have to change my tyres due to my neglect of checking the tyre pressure. it has created a flat squared of spot on the front tyre. not good obviously. so i just thought i would let you know. as i had no idea a) it was under pressure (no queens lyrics please!) or it would have that amount of effect. but maybe im just a bit of a thicky dumb shit!!! other than that just had the beast serviced and apart from new rear pads and the need ffor new tyres everythign else is ship shape.

I lost a key from a boozy night out, so having only 1 key left i thought it would be wise to get a pair of backups made. called up the dealership, gave them my key code, eng no, frame no and he said it would be no problem, pick em up the next day, so i did. Only problem being these new keys are good enough to open the petrol tank and not start her up! They dont even look the same at the bottom of the key as my original. Any ideas?

I am getting ready to put new aftermarket exhaust (complete system) on my 2006 v star 1100 and I was wanting some input from the v star 1100 community or anyone with some knowledge of the subject. I am looking for deep sounding exhaust with high performance. I would also like an exhaust that is not inclines to blue as easily as others. Any suggestions, please feel free. Thanks.
