This will be my last post for some time. This will come as a shock to some of you, but I have made the monumental decision to take off for a complete year effective from next Monday. The lorry shall stop, and no doubt my marriage shall suffer, but those who know me, know that I do what I think is right, and if it hurts or offends -SO WHUT! There are a number of reasons, but the major contributor to my decision has been my involvement with a white nationalist guerrilla group in Venezuela of all places, which is fighting for freedom and justice against unbelievable odds. This is also the main reason for me selling my bike. I have been in contact with this group for a…

Hello, my name is Richard, and I'm a YZF addict. I passed my test recently, after years of RS125 'ing. Bought a really nice, no FANTASTIC!, Thundercat from WEBBS in Lincoln and cannot keep off it. My missus says I'm barred from it until she's at work tommorow. I'm counting the minutes and sort of just keep going out to the garage to look at it. I'm addicted. But any way that's not why I started this! I just wanted to say: Hello YAMAHA fans! What a great forum! Look forward to being here when I can't be out there!

Having a chat at work today and Pete asked me when i was going to restore the old nail (the DT). I said i wouldnt want to as after having the bike since 1988 just about every scratch dent and bodge are mine. Its generally tidy although the engine needs some hugs and kisses, rattle can paintjob and it has been used to commute, trail, enduro. Everything. He couldn't see this and said it would look great if i restored it to its former glory. We couldnt agree and i wonderd what you lot thought......?

Hi All, This week I am taking my class I test in Glos so to get there I took the covers off the Divi and ran it the 40 or so miles from here (Worcestershire) to there (Glos) as usual it didn't like the winter lay off but on the way back ran as it should but as a note to others don't forget if youur bike has 'been to bed for the winter' don't forget to check the tyre pressures and if any of the calipers have siezed up. I didn't have these problems but as I was running down the M5 I had to recollect if I had checked these items out ... or not ! Well the Class I went ok (only managed 1 snafu) but as the test is on Friday I have a bit of work to do remembering how t…

Hi there all! New to this forum, just passed my cbt last week, always loved bikes but conceded to the practicality of a car at 17. Im now 21 and trying to get insurance on a 2007 ybr, only second driver as my dads also using it as a runaround but no one wants to let me get on the roads for under £370 TPFT!!!!! For a bike that barely reaches 60 am i in a dream world or is that price realistic? Any advice from you more experienced bikers on good companies that you can negotiate down or are cheep for my age/experience group would be highly appreciated! Thanks guys CJ
