Hey all, I am new to this forum, joined because I just acquired a 1978 XS 400 from my dad. It was his old bike and hasnt ridden it for 20+ years so I asked if I could have it. Now its my job to restore it and then I want to mod it into a cafe racer. I have 4 years of riding experience. I started with a 2006 Honda CBR 600RR, got hit on that so now I have a 2008 Triumph Daytona 675 and love it! I cant wait to get into my build and really learn about it all as I go along. I want to get it in inpsectable condition first so I can get it tagged easier. Edit: Here are some pics of it in my dads shed. It was left in that spot since the last day he rode it and noth…

hi, my name is gale. I just got my 1st bike, an 1981 Virago 750. My dad swore by Yamaha, never owned anything else. His was a 73 RD 350. I look forward to reading about the bikes

Hello all, Greetings from just North of London, UK, my name is Joe. I have got my self my 1st motorbike, a Yamaha SR125, had it a couple of months now and I love riding it. Thought that joining a forum would be a good measure as I am hoping to get to grips with maintaining my bike my self. Hopefully soon I can take the full motorbike test and get my hands on a bigger bike! Joe

Good afternoon all from not so sunny Kent! Just joined and though I'd say hi along with my 3 new purchases Fj1200, Geneses 1000 and my XS1100 Pictures will follow once I know how to use computers! Anyway hello everyone

Hello, My names Richie saying Hi from Blackpool! Inherited a 1968 Yamaha DT-1 250. She needs a lot of loving but i'm aiming to do a complete restoration. My grandad has owned her from new but unfortunately she was laid up to rest after some issues. She was ridden back from Saudi in the late 80's and hasn't been used since (Although she isn't seized ). My dad has been riding for years and throughout my childhood I attended many rallies and events i just dont ride myself, hopefully after the DT1 is restored that will be the next step. Well hope to meet and chat with most of you guys as i'm pretty sure if i get stuck one of you will be able to help. …

Hello all, I recently bought 86 Fazer FZX700. I got it for good deal and am currently pursuing parts to spruce it up. I think it's a great bike and can't wait til it's done and ready to do showing off.

Hey, Greg here from WNY, hoping to meet some people on here that can help educate me on my motorcycle. I have a '77 xs360 that has seen better days, but it still runs and looks pretty good for its age. Clearly been dumped a couple times (before I owned it), and needs some lovin'. I only paid $30 for it, and put maybe $300 into a new battery, cleaning it out, rebuilding the carbs, etc. I love the fact that everything I have personally done to fix this little pony was done using either the tools it came with or my swiss army knife, lol. Anyway, wanted to post on here to say hi to everyone and hope that I can start learning more and someday know enough to help out future …

Hey everyone, I just got my second Yamaha enduro, and I know from previous experience building my first bike (a Honda cb650) that forums are a crucial source of experience when trying to nail down certain things that might not be specific enough to be covered in a manual, or too old to find parts for. I picked up an 82 XT200 a few months ago. No papers, but it holds up well off road... well enough for my needs anyway haha. Then, a week ago, I had an opportunity to trade off a blown up Suzuki for a 1978 DT175, almost complete with 2 parts motors. Needless to say, I made the trade! Now here I am. Looking forward to learning lots, and contributing where I can! Chee…
