    Hello one and all. Been meaning to join up here for ages, but had to attend the funeral of my computer instead Got me a sweet x reg 125 dragstar called christine (broke mirror, next morning it was fixed all by itself, hence the fitting name). Seemed like a good idea to join up here to help and be helped as required, and share in the fun of yammy owning. So..... umm.... yeah.... HI!!! Fletch 26

  6. Hi my name is Todd, I just bought my new 2012 yamaha V Star 950 last week. I'm loving it, its my first bike ever and I'm almost 37 years old. I'm a country guy that grew up around big tractors and trucks. Motorcycles were around, but usually only people that rode were people in trouble..... That has changed in the last 20 years!! Glad to have a bike!

    Hello folks! My name is Phil, i am 50 and "emigrated" to London in the early 90's - job relocation and the love of a good woman, so they say! Anyway, after spending many years of storage in my parents garage, my 1981 DT175 MX and i have finally been reunited! She needs a bit of TLC but it's only minor things, such as the fuel tank being cleaned of the sediment, a new seat and i will also replace the chain and sprockets for good measure, as these are a little worn. I initially got interested in the DT when i seen my neighbour with a 1973 model. As i was a schoolboy at that time, buying one was out of the question. However, once i was a little older i stumbled in…

  10. Hey you guuuuyyyyyssss. I'm new to the Yaha's and motorcycles in general. Just picked up a 1975 DT175 and 1978 DT175MX for a case of beer. Both were parts bikes but between the two I got the 1975 driving pretty well. And I didnt have to pay anything for either bike so its all just for fun. I work as a vehicle maintenance technician for Alta ski resort so I'm familiar with two strokes they just usually have tracks not tires. Can't wait to get to know you guys and girls(unless this is like the VW forums). -Dave

    Hi All I've been a biker all my life, but have recently had to give it up. I am still a biker and it will always be in the blood. I have a new Hepco & Becker top rack for a drag star in the shed out the back and would like to shift it on. Think they are £132 new. Is it worth £50!!!

    Brand new to this site so thought I would say Hi. I have a '82 Yamaha XS1100 Maxim trike which I'm in the process of doing up. Don't know if this is the right place for info but does anyone know where I can get hold of a replacement tank? Looked everywhere and can only seem to find them in the States. Or are there replacement tanks out there that'll fit my frame? Thanks for your time!

    Many many years ago I was the proud owner of a DT125R. Now my son has reached the ripe old age of 17 and has asked for a motor bike to get around. I have purchased a 1990 TZR 125 in need of some TLC so I will be on here alot asking for advice. First question I would ask is am I mad? Second question is do any of you know any good suppliers of quality second hand parts. Thanks in advance Steve
