New Members Welcome Area

Oh boy. Humble pie is mine to eat. Just posted this to the bar area then noticed this section. So, here goes again.... ? Hi folks and thanks for accepting a newby. Firstly, apologies for not introducing myself when I joined and as I can’t find a general introduction area - I’ll try here ? I’m a Shetlander just returning home from a 34 year exile in Aberdeen. I got my first bike when I was 14 on 9th May 1981. It was a Honda XL125 and the hills were never quite the same again. I fell in love with my XL and bikes in general. Since owned a DT125LC, a BMW F650 and after he was stolen and torched, I got my Yamaha Fazer 600 S2. Loved them all the…

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…

Hello everyone, passionate yamaha enthusiast here. Everything from motorcycles, boat engines and instruments ^^

Hello to everyone.

Recent purchase, looking for info to assist me running it on VMCC events and minor cosmetic parts needed to make it a touch more cosmetically improved. If there is anybody out there running a YR1 it would be great to get in touch thanks Jon

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 guys just bought a RD125. It was a barn find in France. Does anyone know the easiest way to register the bike in the UK. And best place for spares?

Hi guys! I’m Pedro from Portugal. I have an Xt125x from 2008, got it when I was 16 4 years ago. I also have an Honda Z50j it was my daily driver back when I was 14!

Hi guys, thought I'd introduce myself properly. This seems a great site. My name is Steve and I have a 2010 XT 125 and a 2001 RSV

Hi, thanks for the add. Based in Worcestershire. Currently getting a 1992 XJ900F back on the road. First big bike in over twenty years. Looking forward to learning a lot from the experts and old-timers here.

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…

Hi all just to say hey. I have started a xj600 project and thought would join a forum. Cheers
