    Just been looking on EBAY (yes I know I shouldn't) and it surprises me how the price of bikes fluctuates re: the time of year, just seen what I can only describe as a bag of bolts held together by cobwebs and snot and the asking price was well over a grand, now not more than 4 or 5 weeks ago the same type of thing was only about £300, has it always been like this? I mean I don't buy many bikes but does it always jump up at this time of year? I seem to remember when bikes were a cheap means of transport and only for the broke or insane back in the day now it seems that these pocket rockets are going up and down in price almost on a weekly basis, am I missing something? You…

  8. Got the bike out this morning. Had a cuppa. Got the biker clothes on. Key in the lock, turn and push the starter............................click and nothing. Push again and not even a click, nothing on the LCD display. It's 13 months old for God'd sake!!! Got changed and went off to work in the car. Spent the day thinking about fuses. Got home from work and unbolted the seat to check the fuses, all OK. Did the "fiddle" test and found the Earth lead to the battery was loose. Tightened and it's back to working again. Still peeved as a good biking day missed.

    Out cruising the Surrey countryside today when some twat drags his dog across the road right in front of me, of course the dog doesn't want to cross cos his mate is sitting at side of the road, so he just sits down. Now I love dogs and wouldn't want to hurt one but stupid dog owners is a different thing.

    Hello everyone , i have a dragstar 400 for quite few years now ,still i never found a repair manual for it , only the manual for the 650 ,very similar bu yesterday i wanted to start the bike ,the engine turned over like 1/2 or 2/4 of a turn and got stuck with a <clong> noise , my guess is a valve stuck opened perhaps i will have to investigate by opening the valves covers but does anyone knows if the valves are the same size for the 400 and the 650 ??? i'd like to believe that cylinders are the same size, consequently the heads are the same as well , piston bore probably smaller and perhaps crankshaft different as well. So where can i find a manual for the 400 ?? a…
