    Hey guys and girls, my name is Jon and I'm new to bikes sort of. I've ridden lots when I was younger off road and now the time has come where I cannot egnor the fact I don't have a licence anymore. I have done my coarse and mod1 and just waiting on a date for the mod2. I stupidly failed the mod1 on my coarse and had to do them again. A silly mistake I didn't even need to make but hey ho. I want to get an early r6 and I thought as I don't know much about the bikes and good and bad bits and also their customisation limits, so I thought it best to join you good people. I'll be going full member on pay day which is coming up soon. I do have a que…

    Hi people, I have not long had my Yamaha XVS 650 Custom 2016 but I love it! I'm trying to find a decent crash/engine bar for it, as well as a windshield. I'm looking at a genuine windshield from the US right now, but all told $466aud. Need some help please with source of good quality accessories. Some pics with them mounted would be awesome.

    Hi everyone I've just broken a 80's dt50mx sorry don't know the year, the frame was knackered so all the parts are up for grabs. I haven't run the engine as the float bowl was missing from the carb lol but the engine turns over freely with good compression. Any of you require any parts just email me and I'll see what I've got. I'm in Scunthorpe Lincolnshire DN15 8HL Regards mark

    Hi all, I’m from Rainham in Kent and just bought an old rusty (but running) 1985 DT50MX. I plan on restoring it with my son and I’m hoping the knowledge available on this site will help with the project. Look forward to getting stuck in and browsing the site. Cheers, Jon

    Hi I'm Chris. I've just bought a YBR125 , I'm doing my CBT tomorrow and hope to have a full licence and bigger bike in time for a trip to next years TT . I haven't ridden a bike for 25 years, my last bike was an RXS100 and before that i had a Suzuki ZR50. I am a little nervous cos its been a while and things have changed... but gear shifter, throttle, clutch and brakes are in the same places so I'm sure it will begin to feel familiar within a couple of laps of the car park Excited to be getting back on two wheels

    Hey all, First time here. Did my CBT the other week, got myself a 2005 YBR the week after and previously had never touched a bike. I was always into cars (still have a 96' Honda Integra Type R parked outside) but as though almost overnight I got the urge to ride a motorcycle. I can't really explain it but i'm loving it so far! Anyway i'm here to pick up a few tips and join in the banter. Here's a little pic of her: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y3q7i14sfdavgz1/ybr.jpg

    Hi, I am a new member that briefly joined and asked a question a couple of years ago and promptly lost my login details. Now moved house and found long lost things including my YOC details but lost new things though ? . Pleased to be back on here. I ride an 2006 XT 660X. I bought it in 2013 with 2,000 miles approx and it now has 9000 miles as I only use it mostly for pleasure with a little summer commuting across town.. Maybe there are other XT owners on here? Drop me a note if you want to, look forward to hearing about your bikes.

    Hey I'm Axel. I'm originally from Germany and moved here a few years ago. I'm a hobby mechanic but I am starting college classes for mechanical engineering so hopefully my mechanical skills will improve. My current choice for tinkering is a 1975 DT175. This was my budget but but it's been a good get around town bike. It has an aftermarket clark tank and the seat is torn up so I decided I'd start changing it to my liking. Other than cosmetic upgrades I am trying to work on the electrical system (6V ro 12v) to allow other aftermarket parts to work with it. Any tips are welcome!! When it comes to carbureted bikes my greatest weakness is tuning them. Where I l…
