The Bar

Well Cap'n baited the hook & I bit it! There's been sooo many great racers since the conception of GP's in 1949..... My Top 10 looks something like this.... 1) Difficult one to nail down........kid of a toss up between Jarno Sarrinen & Rossi 2) Agostini 3) Mike the Bike Hailwood 4) Kenny Roberts Sr. 5) Eddie Lawson 6) Fast Freddie Spencer 7) John Surtees 8) John Kocinski (Weird dude but 1 Helluva Rider!) 9) Kevin Schwantz 10) Barry Sheene I can think of more but there's NO room left on the list! So, What's your Top 10 list look like?

Has anyone else tried to buy a "headlight lens cover" from a git selling them on E-bay??? I saw a "Thundercat headlight cover-any colour...with all fittings" advertised for "buy it now" £18.99. As my 'cat has orange in its colour scheme, and I've just fitted an amber double bubble, I ordered an amber headlight cover. BUT...when it came, the fixing pads are WHITE, and as you can obviously see them through the ( again obviously ) transparent lens cover it looks shocking. I contacted the seller and politely asked for fixings in a suitable colur, but he refused saying "they're fine". I replied saying the whole idea of a coloured lens cover is to…

Hi there i thought i would introduce myself to you all. I have a D reg Yamaha RXS 100 that is in a bit of a state at the moment after beeing stood for a long time. The bike has only done 7k & runs very well with a substitute washing up liquid petrol tank. Petrol tank resembles something you would strain sundays veg with. The front & rear mudguards are see through. The clutch will not release when lever pressed in. Battery was very dead and bone dry. Tyres have plenty of tread & sidewalls seem ok too , But aim to replace. Seat surprisingly has no rips or tears . I look forward to chatting to some of you whilst i find parts and rebuild…

This time without getting lost, and without a Beemer! Cos I took this one! Same old thing during the Summer months.....out by 10am and back by 2pm. Cos 2-5 is mucho calor bebe! First, it was across to Puedla de Don Fadrique and then up the infamous Santiago road with 25 miles of narrow twisties. Then a stop for coffee in Santiago..... Great views all around too! Then back on the road....it's always deserted! Then mile after mile through the mountain roads! You might think this would be a good place to go offroad....but I wouldn't risk it! Why? Am I worried about getting th…

I just love the last one wonder what mummy was wearing at the time!!! 1) This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly >age 6) 2) Oysters' balls are called pearls. (James age 6) 3) If you are surrounded by sea you are an Island . If you don't have sea all round you, you are in continent. ( Wayne age 7) 4) Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just Like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend no more. (Kylie age 6) 5) A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head. (Billy age 6) My uncle goes out in his boat with pots, and comes back with crabs. (Millie age 6) 7) When ships had sails, they used to use the trade…

Hello, After my bike's 600 mile service, the clock is nearly reading 1500 miles. I think it's time to clean and lube my chain but I've never done it before, can someone post some tips on how to do this? I'm thinking of using a can of WD-40 with a rag to clean the chain and then spray some Wurth Dry Lube on it which I've bought the other day. Also, I don't have a stand for my bike so what's the best way in doing this on my own?

hi there does any 1 know how to stop the e mails coming through off this site?????????????????????????

just joined the site,so hello everyone

Scenario: You are riding your bike at a constant speed. On your left side is a valley and on your right side is a fire engine travelling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping pig which is the same size as your bike and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a helicopter flying at ground level. Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also travelling at the same speed as you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation? Page down - this cracked me up! Answer: Get off the children's Merry-Go-Round, you're…

I have recently bought a Yamaha TDM850 (2001 model) with a micron aftermarket exhaust fitted, my problem is that it at times of full throttle it backfires. I have recently had a full service at a main dealer who informed me that it is quite common with this model of bike!! I am still slightly concerned as I am getting mixed messages.. CAN ANYONE HELP? Cheers

Just wondering what you guys wear whilst riding in the Hot Weather? I wear jeans, boots, gloves, helmet and a textile jacket to commute to work and it's bloody hot man!! I see some riders wearing only shorts and t-shirt....is that you?

not a bad race in the end! for saying donington is quite a slow track with barely any places to have the bike flat out. Rossi managed a very good 2nd place. but i have to say DANI PEDROSA what a guy!! set the lap record many times and at one point had a 6.8 second lead over the person in second!! Incredible. i can only find one fault with the man, and thats the fact that he doesn't f**king well smile!!!! you just won a race by miles, smile!! Rossi comes into the winners paddock thing and does a burnout resulting in a dohnut!! hahaha!! then says to suzzy perry (sexy presenter for us britts!) when asked "was it a good race?" he replies "fuck yeah!". opps! npo swear bleeper …

Hi, Just thought I would check in an say hello. I'm Julie and I am a Mum of 4, a midwife and general nurse, but dont work at the moment. I recently did my CBT and have a SR125. Hope to get around a 1000 miles in on the SR and then do my test. Only another 500 to go, which will take ages cos more often than not, my bike isnt working properly. Found your site, whilst searching for answers to my starter problems. Thanks. Juddie

I am looking at buying an 01 roadstar that has 28000 miles on it. It has some nice bags on it, pasaanger and rider back rests, engine guards with cruise pegs, floor boards, tinted windshield, vance and hines exhaust pipes, and several other customs items on it. It is a champaigne color. The caples are the braided one. The dealership is asking $7500 for it. Is that a good price for one?
