Hey folks.. well i have just traded in my thundercat for a 2000 reg r6 its a cracking bike! pick it up friday does anyone know if there is a r6 uk owners club? cheers davy

Just taken the cat in for it's MOT, tech took a sharp intake of breath and said my front tyre is 'feathering' and my rear is nearing it's wear marker. Both legal but I will need new boots for the cat. Any recommendations on makes / type? Mainly commuting use with the odd long range blat. Ps. Anyone explain feathering to me???

A very loud, greasy, unattractive, tattooed, welfare dependent, chav, minger, woman wearing a Celtic top walked into ASDA in Castlemilk (a sprawling council estate on Glasgow 's east-side) with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. The ASDA greeter said pleasantly, 'Good morning madam, and welcome to ASDA. Nice children you have there. Are they twins by any chance?' The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'F*ck naw, they're no twins. The auldest wan's 9, and the ither wan's 7. Why the f*ck would you think they're twins? Are you blind, thick or just stupid?' 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Madam.' replied the greeter…

The other day I needed to go to the Accident & Emergency. Not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my old Navy fatigues and stuck a patch onto the front of my shirt that I had downloaded off the Internet. When I went into the A&E I noticed that 3/4 of the people got up and left. I guess they decided that they weren't that sick after all. Cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time. Here's the patch. Feel free to use it the next time you're in need of quicker emergency service. It also works at DSS. It saved me 5 hours. At the Laundry, three minutes after entering, I had my choice of any machine, most still running. Don't try it at McDona…

okay here goes i live on the isle of wight and so far in my four years of riding i have been pushed into hedges,driven off the road, pulled out on and had fat greasy business type blokes sat right up my ass (in his car whilst on my bike ... easy tiger!!)all of these assholes were BMW drivers or Audi drivers occasionally. i hold my cool and vow to find out where they live and have them slotted but inevitabely loose interset and go home really angry. has anyone else had this drama with beamers they are the biggest bunch of wan*ers that ever drove the earth! cun*s

My daughter's boyfriend is a "POWER RANGER" Albeit he's the nicest bloke I could wish for as a prospective son-in-law. He's got a Yamaha 600 Genesis (multi coloured) but has never heard of this forum. "What do I do????"

Hello everyone. I have a 2000 model fazer 600. It has started running on 2 sometimes 3 cyclinders,it has done 27k miles and up until recently ran perfect. I tried changing the plugs, it ran fine for 10 seconds then back to 2/3 cyclinders again. I also tried swapping the plug caps but it still ran on 2, with cylinders 2 and 4 not firing. Anyone any ideas on what to do next ? Thanks in advance Mark

Hi Anyone have any experience of these and what are they like for dry / wet grip and confidence? I don't mind the tread pattern too much either - Pal of mine has M1's and I'm not too mad keen on the pattern.

Holy CRUD ! Bought the new Fazer in 2006. I've had nothing but sh!t with this bike ! What a waste of my hard earned cash. This time it's been in the shop for 8 weeks..... problem after problem.... I'm ready to douse it in fuel and set it alight ! Faulty flywheel been blowing electronic components 1 after another. The agents say it's not their problem....... Yamaha you SUK !

Hi All......and good afternoon Has anyone had problems with PA-Motorcylces of Ashbourne Derbyshire? I bought some coils from them way back in June last year which turned out to be faulty, every time I email then about a refund they just ignore me, have even sent a recorded letter also ignored! Just wondered if any members have had a similar experience, I for one will never buy or recommend them again!

hi i have a 2002 wr 426 with water in oil, does anyone know of a common fault like water pump seals etc, dont think its as major as head gasket because bike still runs good doesn't smoke and cooling system not pressurising, any ideas? cheers

Can anyone tell me if there were any major changes from the 1996 to 1997 virago xv1100 range - thinking of fitting a 97 engine into a 96 frame - any pitfalls? If possible,how do I change registration with DVLA? ... Thanks.

Came close to an off today and the best of it is if i'd been riding like a tawt i'd have been nowhere near. Riding through Buckby obeying all the laws of the road. Being a good boy just enjoying being on the bike, going nowhere with all afternoon to do it in. Coming out of buckby village under the bridge approaching the national limit, checks mirror, indicator on, thinking pass the car and the van on the straigh(ish) bit then i've got the bends to myself. The car desides to turn right! one of those mirror, signal, turn all done as one jobbies. He clocks me at the last second and brakes/carries on a bit i had already braked as it felt all wrong as i went to get on the g…

Hi everyone I've owned a DT100 since 1982 having bought it off a mate for £100. This has been in bits since i first stripped it down in that year to do up. What I'd like to know is if the down pipe of a similar year 125 will fit the 100? Originally I was intending to do it up with the same colour scheme as the IT bikes of the era, with red frame and white paint, but now as I've got older i will do it in its original colour, trouble is I forgotten what it was??? Mick

Can anyone help me out? I've just gt my hands on my absolute pride an joy lol xt125, first bike. But does anyone have any tips on how to get the most out of it?? Riding tips? Exhaust kits? DIY mods?? Plz let me know. Thanxing you very much long time =]

i just logged my ten thousandth mile on the old dt!!! yay!!! ten thousandth of my miles, god only knows how many miles it had on it before. the odometer said 2600 when i got it, but it may have been replaced. not bad for a 36 year old bike.
