Hello all I thought I just pop in and introduce myself to everybody, as you can probably gather by my profile name (JimYam13) my name is jimmy, I am yamaha biased and the number 13 well to cut a long story short, I have had a few lucky escapes on the 13th (no fault of my own). I started my biking carrier in 2003 when I got my full motorbike licence, shortly after passing my test I bought myself a (please don�t laugh, I took quite a bit of stick from my mates for this one) XV535 Virago which turned out to be just about the best bike for me to start out on (not to powerful and not to weedy) and besides at just £1250 you can�t really complain. After owning this bik…

Hi All, I'm Dean and from Runcorn I'm up for getting out on the bike as much as possible have a red Yamaha Diversion 600 If your thinking of going anywhere then drop me a message as chances are I'll be game for a ride (as long as it's around me, as in I ain't going up to Scotland for a few hour ride but would go for a Weekend or longer ), but more of a scenery type rider which the occasional fast (mainly dual carriage ways or motorways) riding.

Hi, Yamaha fans (although I'm sure most of you out there aren't too discriminatory towards any particular brand)! I'm Cozmo. I'm a new motorcyclist, but I've been fascinated by bikes for years. I've just now been able to afford a bike and the training to ride it well. I recently acquired a 1981 Yamaha SR 250 from a friend, and I've purchased a second bike for parts (though the parts I need from it are so minimal that I could realistically have two working bikes by the end of summer). This is my first motorcycle, as well as my first foray into bike repair and maintenance, so I'll definitely have some questions! I'd eventually like to get a bigger bike, like a…

Good Morning all, What a lovely day (at least down here in the usual wet & windy west Wales!!) Hmmm... a little about myself, well I am very little (5ft on a tall day) and I have just bought myself a Virago 125 (Ok, I know it isn't a big-boy bike, but I am learning as fast as I can.... I have the bruises to prove it ) Looking forward to being able to get out on the road properly and re-live my first memory of being on a bike, but this time I get to be in control!! Only passed my CBT a week ago, so I'm still a newbie and a little wobbly when going slow, but the bug is seriously setting in!!
