The Bar

Well considering its a bank holiday, who has been out for a blast on their bikes today then? Ive been sat at poxy work all day, and yes im still here! I need to get a bike sorted asap this is killing me, especially as about 20 power rangers overtook me yesterday rather unsafely and flicking up stones and chipping my windscreen

I got pulled over by the West Yorkshire Police whilst travelling Westbound on the M62 just before I was due to come off on junction 26. I noticed a police car in my right side mirror with its flashies on so pulled out of its way. Upon pulling out of its way I noticed it followed me. I realised I was the target so pulled onto the hard shoulder. I switched off my engine and began removing my helmet and gloves. I then put the bike on its sidestand. As I was putting the bike on its stand a policeman approached me from the right side and said 'far too fast to me'. He then said 'you can kiss your license goodbye'. Another policeman then approached from the left side…

im really ashamed to say it . its not a yamaha. its got no gears./ its got a top speed of 95 mph weird italian build. company that builds also manafacture wheelchairs. its a italjet dragster 125 scooter fitted with a 180 engine 25 mm carb (standard is 19.5mm) gear up kit scorpion exhaust k&n filter racing reeds upreted reedblock uprated clutch rollers uprated clutch springs and all the other fancy bits done to it its bright orange very scary to ride but very cheap to insure as they think its a standard 125 its quicker than my old dtr and is noisey as fuck it only temporary though

.....That I've got one of my bikes STOLEN! I packed my friend's borrowed truck up last Thursday night with all the camping gear, firewood, & my little lad's bicycle & PeeDub50........got up Friday morning to find that some Punk-Ass Meth-Head had dug into my buddy's truck, set everything else aside.....just to take the PeeDub! He was getting too big for the little beast, so now I'm starting on a quest to find him a newer, little bigger off-roader.......probably an XR or the likes. Needless to say.......It's Open Season on ScumBag Drug Addict Thieves in my Neighborhood!

Lads, I see there's loads of brand new crossers going on eBay for stupid prices (less than 1k mostly). They all seem to be obscure makes though with Yam/Honda "clone" engines, frames etc. Anyone know if they're worth a punt or are they as shite as I suspect?

Can't say any more, but the TDM is about to leave the building! Which will herald the arrival of Bike no.52! All very hush hush at the moment!

....cos I bought another XT as a ratbike! It's a 1991 XT350....genuine 5500 miles. Bog standard apart from Renthal bars and a road legal Predator stainless steel sytem. Cost me a grand....took it for MOT this morning and it sailed through it. Goes great, engine is as sweet as a nut....just got to give it a serious clean up now. What do you think?

Well, after way too much time being sorted......I finally got my little lad's PeeDub running properly ...... & he hasn't wasted any time making up for lost ground with his riding skills. But after having a little run-in with Mr. AppleTree in our backyard ......he's definitely vowed to always wear long pants when riding......even if it's Hot outside. Looking forward to going over to Central Oregon to visit my brother & do some off-roading next month......especially when the terrain looks like this from his front door ...........

.....from my StrokerBoat last weekend this one's of my 1st mate who's coming to ask me if He can drive! ...... This was a great view @ night when the stars are all out...... & Here's a couple looking upstream on the Clackamas River which feeds this Reservoir where we stayed ....... Got 1 more weekend booked in 2 weeks time......have to see if I can get a few more shots when the Boat's On The Wick

It's been on my mind a long time. Just got around to doing it. If anyone has been struggling with the hot temps we've been having, I just put up a little section re dealing with hot weather riding: http://pages.videotron.com/mcrides/hot_weather_riding.htm Bruno Montreal, Canada http://pages.videotron.com/mcrides

Hi, I'm a newbie here and also with motorcycles. Just bought my first bike and it's XJ600N. The problem is that it has broken tacho (only surroound, not the tacho itself). And I'm looking where I can buy it on the net. The problem is that I can't find any good Yamaha parts shop. Most of them sell parts only for the XJ600S but not for naked version. Where you buy parts and what advice can you give me? Thanks. Infests

Hi everyone. hailing from Milwaukee, WI in the states. i just picked up a '92 Seca II yesterday. it sure isnt the quickest thing on 2 wheels but is pretty fun to ride, and i dont need to go that fast anyways! just wanted to pop in and say hi. and i'll try to get some pics up in a bit.

I was looking at a book on ebay called Tuning for Yamaha RD/RZ 350 YPVS by Martin Kieltsch. Has anyone got this ? is it any good ? Cheers, Mark...

Its Boozehounds birthday, all the best mate

I have a 2004 model silver R6 that was registered in Jan 05. I have had a high level Micron Exhaust put on, Micro Indicators, Rea Seat Cowl, Tail Tidy, R6 Heel Plates. The bike has only done 450 miles and in showroom condition as it has been garaged. I have all of the original bits to go with it too. I also have a private plate on it that I am thinking of selling separately – R6 0ABE which reads R6 BABE. Anyone know roughly how much I could sell them for? Haven’t ridden the bike in 3 months and don’t want it to rot in the garage. Cheers

Hi peeps, new to the forum and now the proud owner of a YPVS350. I'm a bit wet behind the ears on these as I'm more of a Suzuki kind of bloke I'm not even sure what version it is ( the one with the bigger back light ) Cheers, Mark...

Right gents, the bike I've jus got is an LC2. I'm already half way through doing the RGV front & Back conversion but any tuning info would be very helpfull. Cheers, Mark...

.....a Kick in the Pants to drive! ..... 90+hp....2-stroke 250 GP motors....good for a 140mph.....they run lap-times as fast as World SuperBikes do when they race @ Laguna. Not only did Eddie Lawson get inducted into the MotoGP Hall of Fame this last weekend .......he also took 3rd in the SuperKart race I heard he had steering probs in the 1st stages of the race ...or else he mighta won the thing!

After many .... many ..... many months I've finnally got the R1-Z project running Done around 150 miles since the rebuild Still a few problems to sort out when the wife lets me off the DIY This is the reason my website ain't been updated ( links etc ) Fred.
