Hi All I'm Neil and although I signed up a couple of weeks ago, this is the first chance I've had to sit and write an intro of sorts. After my car insurance was due last month I decided that it wasn't worth paying £500 or so to just drive a couple of miles to the station and back so I started looking for a cheap bike to buy. After being outbid on Ebay for a lovely Fs1e I wondered about doing my CBT. A chance visit to the ATC squadron where my son's a cadet I had a look at the staff sergeant's YB100 sitting in the garage. He kept it there so his mrs. didn't know he had it but it hadn't moved for about 6 months due to no MOT. A quick chat and a new ruling from…

hi I'm new to this forum. I have just purchased a 125 yamaha xvs dragster which I am trying to fix to get it through its mot. After which Im thinking of bobbing it ? Or somthing. I have learnt a bit about bikes but only on automatic chinese scooters so this is another learning curve for me.

Hey guys, New member here. I just earned my motorcycle permit last weekend! I also bought my first bike a 1982 Yamaha XS 400!! So excited to tinker and ride on it! I look forward to talking and bonding with you guys. Cheers.

Just figured I'd say hi to y'all! I'm part of the XVS 950 crew! That's about it really Ciao for now! SS (not the German kind)

Hi all Just picked up a great little barn find, DT175G 1980, which I'm hoping to have some fun on using TET mostly. Owned all manner of Yamaha's over the years, but never did have one of these - just admired them from afar. Needs a bit of TLC, but overall great condition and have got her up and running (neutral still a bit hard to find (LOL). No number plate or V5 though, so scratching my head a bit about how I get her back on the road. Gather I need to complete a V55 to register, but need some authority to sign off on the year, verify it is what I'm saying it is etc? Anyone got any advice as to best approach to take forwards and get V5? Thanks

Hi All, recently got back onto a bike after 25 years, got myself a Dragster 400cc, suitable for an old man like me. going to mainly use it for touring the country that Iam in now Uganda. looking for any information and help I can get on this bike, its a 2003. thanks again

Hi all, I have just bought my first bike! Been wanting to get one for a few years and after coveting my brothers GS finally took the dip! Only ridden off road before and that was in my "yoof" Looking forward to doing my CBT and exploring the great Scottish roads.

Hi Guys, my name is Rachel. I am new to the biking scene, passed my test in October 2014. I have a Thundercat and am learning all about her. I live in north west UK and go out with my husband and some friends regularly (weather permitting) on some lovely, scenic run outs! TTFN x

Hey peeps! I’m Nic, just picking up my new Yamaha YS 125 at 3pm, wanted to find people i can actually talk to! My main question is, when you go to the shop.... what do you lock your bike up with? I don’t fancy carrying a massive padlock and chain in a bag on my back everytime. Any advice would be great :)
