The Bar

Greetings from the Cape Fear, A question for you good folks. When rolling on the accelerator, the rpms make a jump from idle to idle plus a bit more than I want. I can't seem to ramp up. Is this a characteristic of fuel injection or electronic ignition? Is something out of adjustment? TIA, Bill

Hey there all, i know i know the weather is leaving much to be desired but as long as we put on an extra layer on we'll be fine, any one round surrey or kent, sussex, essex want to ride out let me know I'm not letting the clouds bring me down as long as its dry I'm up for a burn long or short .

My active tools include: 1962 Fender Stratocaster. 1973 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe 1981 Gibson Dove acoustic 1985 Fender Malibu acoustic

Hi!! I am currently buying a thundercat 600 (03 reg) and i will need it to be restricted down to a 33 BHP. Do you know where i can purchase a restriction kit from? and how much they usually are? Does anybody know how a restriction kit affects a thundercat aswell?? as in performance, do they struggle etc. Also do restriction kits damage bikes?? Thanks everyone!! Shaun

Hi guys! We're two girls preparing our 1986 XT600s for a trip from London to Cape Town. We had a tiny little accident this weekend. We need all the moral support we can get. WARNING: NOT FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS - IF YOU LOVE BIKES, YOU WILL CRY. ALSO, SORRY FOR THE FOUL LANGUAGE, IT WAS DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES.

Hi im new so hi to all! I have a Yamaha tw 125 and i stopped outside my local shop (only wanted some fags!) and a community support officer made a point of coming over and trying to tell me my back 'tyre' he said is illegal,i thought he ment my knobbly's which are the road legal ones but he said my back wheel should be the same size as the front,to which i replied er no that is legal and that is how the tw's are am i going mad?! please tell me im right coz the guy was a prick

I am new here and was just wondering if a sixteen year old can pass a CBT test but wait until he is seventeen and then purchase a 125cc bike without having to retake the CBT test again? Also, after passing the CBT test, is a full license presented or an updated provisional license? Kirk47

My trusty old fitness first rucksack (must be 3 years old, so not bad for a freebie) failed me this morning and the one strap is completely buggered. It hasnt been bad in all fairness, keeps stuff dry too which has been important. So I need a new method of carrying important* stuff into the office on my daily commute. So do I buy another rucksack, but this time a 'proper' bike rucksack? Or Do I try and get something fixed to the bike, the problem might be that its an XT125R and I dont know what I can fit to the bike. Will a tank bag fit it as its a plastic tank isnt it? Or do I go for one of these universal top boxes for the back? All help appreciated from you expe…

Just watched motorway cops on bbc1. I do find those programs entertaining (not the awful american cop shows tho!). But it pissed me off at the end, is there anypoint in wasting money on a police force, if what they do achieves sod-all. One chinese illegal imigrant got 3 points and £75 fine for no license. Anothe guy who fled the scene of a crash (which utilised several police units and closed one side of the motorway) got off scott-free as there was insufficient evidence and a guy in a nicked motor got a community sentence (probably didnt turn up) even though he nicked a car and caused a -mile tailback. A polish lorry drive who fucked a biker up, got charged with car…

It is with sad regret to inform you that one of our forum members xs360 (peter) has passed away. he came back from America about a month ago with a chest infection which led to complications and had a heart attack. As well as his xs360, he was into the Z750 twins in a big way and was well respected in the Yorkshire village where he grew up. In fact at his funeral the whole Village attended. I wish his family my condolences may he rest in peace and gone to biking heaven!!

Evening all As you probably know I'm hoping to get myself an XVS650a when i turn 17 and have been horribly worried about the insurance seeing as i'm so "young". I had a look around in google for "yamaha bike insurance" and filled out a quote form with accurate details, and got results from £550 to about £3000, was wondering if anyone knows any reasons for this and also if they can recommend anyone cheaper, I've got 1 year's no claims and have held my full UK license for 0years and negative two months SO EXCITED about my new bike. Ed
