well at ten to three this morning i was woken by the sound of one of my bikes being moved i heard the chains rattle and my security lights come on lighting up the rear of the house like blackpool illuminations, i woke my son up and armed with baseball bats went to confront the two lads, we only made one mistake going out in our boxers and not putting our jeans on. of course they were off like a shot and only having boxers on and no shoes there was only so far i was going to chase them, the police of course were so helpful by informing me nothing was actually taken as if i didnt know that so there was little they could do (for a change i replied ) oh bu…

I am starting to build myself a flat tracker, i have a 3en2 fzr400 frame with a 3tj rear shock, i'm not sure what the forks are from because they have 42mm stanchions which aren't standard. Firstly i'm trying to find a bottom yoke to fit, but not knowing what bike their from is proving to be a headache, any help will be greatly received. Secondly does anyone know what engines will fit, i know an fzr600 will but would like to go bigger if poss.

Now I know this sounds like a stupid question but I’ve almost had my bike stolen 3 times since the end of may, the first time they tried dragging it down the street with a chain attached and seeing that they couldn’t get far they decide to damage the side of the bike with a knife and scratch off the transfers; I’ve since fitted a ground anchor to where I keep it overnight The second time I was parked about 6 meters from the sixth forms security guard and yet they managed sneak past him when he was on his break, 4 15 year old boys decided to pick it up and see how far they could walk it down the road it’s only a ybr 125 and weighs 125kg, I had a disk lock on it at th…

What has happened to the reassuring nod bikers used to share when passing one another on the open road? Is it just me or has it all but died out?

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.
