I live & ride in Melbournes southeast,15 minutes from my home are some of melbournes well known & unkown great riding areas you could imagine. Rolling hills,coastal scenery,national forests with places of interest to check out or many places to just hang out ,have a coffee & sometning to eat.All while riding a good mix of twisties,open curves & highways. By the way all these areas a great for those who like to get down & dirty on the trails or those who just want to ride the road My ride is a 2009 V Star 950A,Customed with studded tank cover,studded mustang seat combo (with detachable riders back rest),Cobra slash down Muffler & a set of chrome …

Hi all, New to the forums, just doing the right thing and posting a quick hello to introduce myself. I'm an almost-40-year-old Aussie (don't let that get to you) who's been riding for just under a year. Just picked up a VStar 650 a couple of weeks ago and since that makes me a Yamaha owner, I thought I should probably join here and see what's the go. Cheers!

Found this site on Google 5 months ago when fidleling around my new (new 2 me anyway) Draggy. Originally from Portugal, son of a motorbike parts dealer and brother to a mechanic and 2 Motorcross racers, been around motorbikes all my life fixing and messing with 2 stroke engines from flandria to cr 500, up to 14 years ago when I moved to Ireland and due to the weather the bug went to sleep. Now, by faith I was "forced" to buy a motorbike and the biking bug is back

Hi everyone my name is jay I 'm new to the motorbike community. Just passed my CBT on Friday and have a Yamaha YZF R125 50th anniversary edition. I'm hoping to gain experience riding my 125 then in a years time head for my direct access.

Hi all, Thought Id introduce myself before I start posing my questions in the relevant sections....... I run a Honda CRM 250 for the green-lanes around here (about 200kms outside my door!). Before you point me in the direction of crm250.com, I have just been given a knackered Yamaha DT125LC 1982. My 14 year old son has massively outgrown his PW80 and has taken an interest in trying to get this non runner up again. The bike is missing many bits (plastics and instruments) but as it will only be used in the woods, that's not an issue. It did run a few years ago, but the head gasket went and it has sat in a barn ever since....... I am now in the process of cleaning …

Hi all! I'm a newbie from the south of France, so pardon my English I bought my first bike, a Yamaha XJ6 ( Extreme Yellow) since October, but I got my driving license a month and a half ago, so she waited for me in the garage! I learned to drive on a Kawasaki ER6, and I really didn't like it. It wasn't the kind of bike I wanted to drive, nor the one that caught my eye. During my driving lessons, I had the chance to drive for 2 hours a XJ6 and I fell in love with it. When I searched for a second-hand XJ6, I found out it existed in yellow... and it was love at first sight! I needed an Extreme Yellow, and not another color! Around here, there wasn't a lot of them…

Hi everyone, I'm Karen from Glasgow, oops I've posted a new topic before introducing myself! I'm new to forums, sorry hehe. I have a 2007 R1 which was running sweet until 2 weeks ago - hence my joining this site and my other post. I'm an engineer, was a technician/ MOT tester for Vauxhall for many years then a few years ago I went into fitting trackers. I'm now an auto-electrician building and wiring new fire engines. I love animals and have numerous pets, I have to many hobbies to list lol - I'll end up boring you all!! Well, that's me Kaz x

Hi guys, just joined today. Yesterday I traded in my trusty 03 Bandit for a new XJN6-N. The Bandit has been a great bike for the last 8 years for commuting and longer weekend rides, but had a good test ride on the XJ6 and really enjoyed it. Really showed what an ancient and out-of-date model the Bandit now is. Black, with Yamaha fly-screen (thought about some other extras but decided to take my time and consider). Anyway, shame I dont have the new bike now for a first run down to Hastings for the May Day Bank Holiday events (grew up in Hastings). Fantastic weather forecast (though beware the sea mist!), I hope everyone has a great day out. Cheers Tez…

Hi members, I'm new to Yamaha have been interested mainly in 71-78 Kawasaki Z1's for the last 20 odd years. I'm not much with two strokes ... looking at small 4 stroke Yamaha's. Couldn't help to notice the beautiful design of those FZx 250's "Zeal" about 91-99 odd. Love to fit a 450 motor in them. Love that "Porpoise" tank.... clever frame design.... Would like to lift the seat a touch! Possibly bigger front wheel? Will pursue this interest later under the correct topic in this forum. RegardZ ~ Garn <Sydney, Australia>

hi guys,just thought i'd say hello before i post anything else on the forum. i've been riding for the last 23 years & mostly on Yamaha's almost too many to count,i'm currently riding a Suzuki but am looking to get back into my Yam's. cheers Neil

Hi, I've been riding for a year and half on my CBT now and I love my little YBR, through wind, rain or snow she gets me where I need to be. Unfortunately, today, a jealous driver saw me coming down the hill next to the stationary traffic and thought it would be a good idea to close the gap i was indicating into. After an unsuccesful combination of swerving and breaking (one or the other apparently, do not repeat) i've ended up with broken clocks, wonky handlebars and a bruised ego. Can anybody give us some guidance as to how to repair this? Will any old handlebars fit? do i need part numbers to get a new clock cover? also the frame for the clock cover has been b…

Just saying hi , late starter in biking got onto bikes aged 40 and been riding my ybr for 3 years now clocking up 19k in miles lol done theore and mod 1 just got my Mod 2 to do in a couple of weeks then alls good

Hi guys im not a new member as such, i signed up in 2012 when i had a dt125, well last month i passed my full bike licence after saying for several years im going to get it done. I have since bought a thundercat from a friends dad and have been working in it for a couple weeks, its a '96 and has 22300miles on it ( doing just 3000 in 9 years of his ownership) has been sat for a couple years so a clean up and good service.

Hi Guys, Just joined up as I'm starting a new refurb project on a 1987 RD350 YPVS (F2). It's obviously something to do with hitting 40 that you want to re-live your youth - so have a hit list of old models that I used to own that I would like to own again. I have very fond memories of my YPVS from way back in 1991 so spent months hunting for the right bike (one with all original parts and not messed with but need refurbishment) - I was amazed the sort of money that they are now going for! Hope there's some fellow 2 stroke fans on here for some info along the way :-) Thanks Steve.

Hi, my name is Giorgio Soave. I live near Milan, between the city and the Linate airport. I worked many years at ENI (a big company which extracts, refines and distributes hydrocarbons, from heavy oil to natural gas) designing new processes and doing research in Thermodynamics. (My name could be familiar to anyone who studied chemical engineering). I retired in 2003. Since then I dedicated my time to grandchildren and, in the short time left, to tourism, often by motorcycle, photography and the exploration of the cultural world by Internet. Until last month, for 9 years, my bike was a Moto Guzzi 750 (Breva), a lovely bike which unfortunately has become finally too heav…

Hi everyone, I am now the proud owner of a dt50mx which will be a project for a fair while judging by its condition. Years ago a mate of mine had one and the envy had set in so now its my turn haha Hopefully the ather will get better so i can get out in the garage and put some hours into her and move this project along

Well have posted a couple of times on here and been told to say hello here so "HELLO" lol Edit DDT: For sale items should be put in the for sale section.
