Hey all, I'm Paul. A firefighter from the Philippines. I might be getting my hands on an XS400 this month and was wanting to do it up as a cafe racer. so for now I'm just looking around and gathering as much info as I can I will post pics once I actually get the bike. Bit excited as I've always wanted a bike and this is the first bike I'm actually getting for myself.

Great forum and some familiar names I am new here but a few of you will recognise my name from the Air Cooled RD forum and RD crazy. Im really into Two stroke yamaha RDs from the 70s and 80s I also date Yamahas for the Aircooled RD club as there for age related registrations and i have been specialising in this for the last year or so. (with help from others, Thanks Mervin) Also in my spare time I work in my mates garage in Southamton as a motorbike MOT inspector (class 1 and 2) So if you need a DVLA dating certificate or any advice on DVLA dating for your imported bikes or you have any MOT questions just ask and if I can answer I will. If im no…

Joined up last week seeking some 'technical' advice, but thought it'd be polite to post a (very) brief intro here first. I bought a little DT125R back in September, about 10 yrs after I orginally intended to learn to ride. Did my CBT in August with a view to then doing the proper tests as & when I can find time for them, which isn't likely to be until the spring. Anyway, having great fun so far, wish I'd found the time to do this years ago.

Hello Everyone I thought i would introduce myself to the Yamaha mix, my name is Richard but i like being called Ricky. I've not long got myself my first Yam and its a bike i've always liked the look of but as its a 1990 bike its got a few problems that need sorting out and she's abit of a battel scared war horse and she's going to need loads of tlc. I'm 43 and live in Bradford but come from Maidenhead berkshire. My love of the motorcycles I think started when I was around 13 years old when I discovered an old motorbike in my back garden that despite my dad telling me to stay away from it I had the bike up and running in no time at all and i think it wa…

Hello, Love bikes, had a Huoniao..... dont get me started.... did what it did, then I got rid... Yamaha, better make, better look.

Hello everyone, and happy new year! My name is Filippo and I'm from Perugia, just in the center of Italy. It took me quite a few to finally become a Yamaha owner, I don't really know why, because I always admired this firm and its products. The Yamaha that broght me between all of you is a vintage one: a DT 400 that here in Italy is pretty rare and unusual I would like to tune it up a little for racing it in the Vintage Enduro Italian Championship, I'm sure that here I could find some good advices and suggestions. Thank you, ciao, Filippo

Hi, my name is Ann, I'm 54 years young, I got my bike licence in 2004, mainly because i wanted to tour europe but not confined to a steel box. The road trip lasted two weeks and was fantastic. I bought a honda 500cb when I passed my test, call me timid, but that's what i had and i loved it. Took me touring and never once complained even tho I put it on it's side twice times. Last year I bought a yamaha dragstar, not sure how I'll get on with it cos my legs are 33 inches long and I feel my legs are way out to the sides whereas with the cb they were sort of tucked in. Could just be me needing to get used to the riding position but I absolutely love the bike so I'll …
