New Members Welcome Area

Hey everyone! I've been browsing the forums and decided I might as well introduce myself! Name's Ryan, I'm 31, brand new to motorcycles, and I live in the little town of Port Dover, Ontario. Some of you may have heard of it before... A motorcycle has been the one machine on wheels which has eluded me. I have drove everything from cars, little trucks, big trucks, boats, snowmobiles, quads...3wheelers....and anything else that you can fit a motor in, but I've honestly always been a little intimidated and maybe even scared to ride a motorcycle. It was almost a conquest for me.... I had to face my fears. I searched and searched for the perfect newbie starter bike.…

Hey ladies and gents Im anthony, 19 and just bought myself a YRB 125 2010 brand new for £2500 and im well happy lol. I've had a 125 scooter for about 6 months but it was bought for me and is chinese and unreliable so i decided to px it in and sort me some thing decent. I was looking at getting a yzf r125 but in the long run the cost and cost of insurance ect put me off, so i went to the dealers today and ordered my YBR 125 in black and i get to pick it up next saturday. Ill get some decent pic's when i go and pick it up next week but this is just to start with This will be the first time in about 5 years in which ive rode a manual bike so w…

Hi Everyone, I'm Jason from UK. Im a new rider with a yfz750 and hope to share my new experiences with everyone and learn from the pro's

Hello Ladies and Gents, I'm Mark , both a newbie to the forum and a newbie to motorbikes, 31 years old and work in the RAF I did my CBT 3 months ago and have been riding round on a derestricted 2004 dtr 125, This seems to do me fine for the commute to work and a little bit of green laning round oxfordshire. have recently bought a front end crash damaged 2005 dt125x that i've mostly rebuilt just the last few pieces as always :-). thats about it. Thanks Mark

Hello all from the frozen North of Scotland ;finally managed to get registered on this site.(I hate computers). I've had lots of trials & tribulations with an XV535 Virago and a Ybr 125 Custom but have been unable to share them until now. Hope to post a few bits & bobs shortly.

Hi Folks I've just joined the site - I'm not a biker, but my other half is... She's just got herself a 2001 XVS 125, which has been sitting in someone's back garden for the past 4 years. I've got the owner's manual and have a fair bit of experience with things mechanical (although the last bike I worked on was a Kawi KH1000), but I wanted to check first for any advice before I start the "recommissioning" process. Also, when I say "has been sitting", I mean just that - it has not been run (or, in fact, moved) since early 2008... I appreciated that all the fluids will need changing, and that the tyres are probably suspect, despite having very little wear…

hey Im luke, aged 26. just passed my cbt and have brought a YZF-R125... needs a little bit of work for its mot then we are off and running! Im currently trying to source a xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Could any body PLEEEASE link me to somewhere that'll sell these/ please let me know if you know of any used ones up for grabs... Cheers!

Hi all, i got an XJ900F in a trike. 3 wheels r better than 2 as less chance of falling off (again).

Hi guys. Got my licence in May this year. Never ridden a bike in my life but passed Mods 1 & 2 first time !! Now riding XJ6 Diversion F.

Hey, New to this forum, I've posted a couple times in the dirt section. I'm working on fixing up an old 74 mx250 and it has the wrong CDI (actually I think it's the wrong engine and the right CDI) Anyway, I have another Yammer, a 2000 650 V-Star Custom, red bike, blacked out a lot of the chrome, wrapped the pipes added a bit of cf (more like DiNoc not real carbon) I've also had 2 ninja's and I have a KZ400 Cafe Racer. Oh and a pocket bike, but that doesn't really count.

Hello to everyone! Another new member; a little about me... Had a Suzuki GSF 600 Bandit as my first bike, which I binned at about 3mph - bloody drain grates! I bought a Yamaha FZS 600 Fazer to replace it, and loved it. Comfortable, quicker, and downright fun. However, I've just sold the Fazer to buy an '01 YZF-R6 which is very quick, psychotic, and nowhere near as comfortable but a damn sight more of a giggle. I don't claim to be a genius but if I think I know the answer to something I'll give it a go; other than that, I shall be asking everyone else for help! Cheers ;-)

Hi guys, just got my first big bike an old xj600. i am doing my mod2 next week, and am really looking to get out on her once i have fixed a couple of problems she has

Hi Folks, I have bought my first ever RD350LC YPVS today to fettle and ride/parade. I have never been a fan of 2 strokes but heard so many guys say how much fun they are I couldn't resist. I collect it tomorrow, snow permitting. At 75 this year, its time I pensioned off the ZXR750K1 which is getting heavy these days. Lets hope the Yam is as much fun. I look forward to reading all about them on the club forums. Thanks Barry

Hi I'm Robin,57 years old and live in sunny sussex .. I have a mint dragstar 125 (1600 miles) and have just finished building another dragstar as a bobber,bike was an abused non-runner with rusted frame and was a bit of a challenge all told.Recently rebuilt and sold a virago 125 (just a little too small for me) and have also built a custom honda shadow 125 over the winter(dont suppose I should mention that!)...background in mechanics,classic and custom cars but now drive a van for a living..always wanted to see if I could ride a bike so did my cbt last year and trying to get as much riding in as possible now(when its sunny that is!),in truth I prefer tinkering reall…

Hi All, It seems to be a common theme in the New Members section, but I'm also an older (but not too old) new rider. I've always wanted to ride a motorbike, so have finally taken the plunge. Did my CBT last month and have purchased a YBR125 Custom – have only had a chance to do 8 miles due to weather, but it's a start.

Hi All, Just thought I'd say hello as I've just joined the site. My first bike was a TY80 and at the moment I've got a DT50mx, TZR125, XT225 Serow, TZR250 2ma and an RD400, a few of them are projects! Cheers.

Hey, Just bought my first bike, a 2008 YBR125. Wanted to introduce myself A photo of my steed:

Hi all, my name is Leighton, I'm from South Africa, I own a '09 YBR125 that I brought second hand, it's my first bike if you don't count the scooter I had before Love riding, don't think I will ever give it up, at this moment I'm recovering froma nice bunch of road rash, or as well call them here Roasties. Cheers!

Hi guys and girls. My names Pete and I'm a bikeaholic. Another confession I have is, I've pretty much been a gixxer man until I just bought this Fz1. Loving it at the moment. So comfortable to ride (maybe I'm getting old) and quick. I'm based in Hemel Hempstead and looking for like minded bikers for a ride out. (Sounds like a dating add lol). Look forward to chatting

Hi there. I'm new to the forum and looking for some advice. I have a 87 DT125 LC MK3, for the most part the bike is great and well used on and offroad. As time has gone on the rear suspention has got softer and lower. It often bottoms out coming over lumps off road. I cant find a replacement that looks good enough to spend money on. Does anybody know if I could replace it with an easier to find one off a DTR? Thanks
