    Hello to everyone from sunny Manchester I currently ride a 2002 Fazer 600 which I've had for about 5 years. It's in a half hearted sreet fighter style after a spill wrecked the fairing, so it's a bit of a work in progress. In the process of digging it out of the garage as it's not been ridden since before last summer (bought a motorhome and went touring round France for 6 weeks last summer and spent most weekends away with the family). So I'm determined to get it out this year and make the most of it and do a bit of exploring. Looking forward to being a member and becoming part of the YOC community. Thanks Dave

    Hello all, Having just purchased a 1998 Yamaha SR125 I thought it only right that I join this forum and say hello. Bought as a second bike to my CBR600F, the SR will serve as a commuter in a bid to save a few quid. It has performed faultlessly so far, although I did notice the engine was largely devoid of oil on return from the 95 mile ride home in torrential rain after buying it, and needed a good half litre to top it up to the line.... I was told the oil was 'very clean' before riding away, so maybe it wasn't clean, but in fact 'not there' to start with, who knows! Just how robust are these little bikes? I hear a lot about 'top end failures through neglect' …

    Hey people I have joined this club, just now, to try and get some help for my pal Keith who has a problem with starting his Tcat. I had an SV650 and got wrid of it which is the worst thing I have done I well miss it so I will probably get a tcat as well as they are great bikes and very good value for money!!!. I put a post up in the help section but I hadn't introduced my self, which was a bit rude. I'm just quite keen to help Keith out as he isn't very web savvy and he is getting a bit low because his Tcat was stolen and then recovered but he can't get it to work again :'( Musselburgh / Edinburgh area... I'm sure he would pay for someone to help out…

  16. Started by Murf Riar 16,

    Hello everyone Murf here from Hamilton New Zealand. Kids have left home and I am getting back into riding again. Starting carefully with a 2005 250 Virago, have had it for 2 months and absolutely love it.Going for a weekend cruise and winding through the country roads is awesome. I am already looking around for my next bike. Have fallen rather badly for the XVS 950a. To me it looks like my dream bike, my only concern is the footboard clearance. I am still a few months from a new purchase I want to get a few more thousand Kms on the Virago first. If any 950 riders could set my mind at rest I would hate to settle for another bike because I was to worried about the footboard…
