Brief excursion with an italian pile of Poop... Supermotoed Aprilia Tuareg 350...

    Hi all, just wondering if the extra wind resistance caused by a screen is gonna be too much for my little bike to push through or if it will improve things for MPG and comfort? i have a 25 mile each way commute, mainly along a dual carriageway on the coast and it gets pretty windy sometimes i'm thinking about getting a universal screen like the Airblade Tall boy anyone had experience of one of these on a 125?? thanks Rob

    Hi everyone. I just bought my first bike, a red 1999 r6. It needs some work to get it running but it looks good. Got new spark plugs, grips, tires, air filter, only thing left is the electrical system. There is some major short that is not letting it start up but the engine turns. I bought a repair book to help out. But yeah this is my summer project and im looking forward to riding it soon.

    Hi, Another Bristol Guy here, just picked up my first fazer 1000 A red 2002 model with only 6000 miles on clock, only 2 usefull mods done in the last week, a f. febberi double screen which is fantastic and gives no turbulance, an R & G shock protector made of neoprene, to keep all the crud off my shock. I traded in a kawasaki z750 s for this bike, basically my brother has a fazer 1000 x reg and evertime i drove his i decided what a fantasticc bike it is and searched for a good secondhand low mileage one, My younger brother has a naked 2008 yamaha fz1 but i prefer the original fazer

    G'day. Have ridden bikes for a while and always been pulling them to bits as much as I can and rebuilding them. Used to ride a Kwaka or two ( road) and now have a 86 FJ1200, 149 thou on the clock... (bought it at 98 thou) bought a Gsx 750 E which i would like to make into an ES?EF? and also recently aquired 2 DT 175's to rebuild with more bits coming apparently. Like a good long ride and the Effy is perfect for it and a good way to keep fit through twisties :D, the DT project is a continueing love affair... was my first bike, and ironically these bikes are at the same process I needed to do to my old one, full rebuild new clutch and a good clean and repaint :D:D Che…
