New Members Welcome Area

Hello, Newbie here....thanks for allowing me in. Currently riding a Tiger 1050...but have had my head turned by a Radian! So...i am all joined up here and will be asking for advice in the appropriate thread in a bit! See you around!

Hi, I'm Dan. I live in Poole. I currently have a 2002 Thundercat which I've owned for 3 years since returning to 2 wheels after a lengthy lay off! I have just acquired a 2001 Thunderace which I bought from an auction site for not a lot of money. 12,000 miles but I think much UNloved. It starts on the button and runs well. Unfortunately, as I don't want to get wet, (I'm far too old for those shenanigans) I didn't get to ride it for a couple of weeks. However, one Sunday morning, the sun made an appearance so I decided to take it for a little spin. 10 miles later I'm back home and well pleased with the initial run once I'd put some proper air in the tyres! I did notice…

Where’s my YOC shirt, Foamy?! 🤣 Hope you and the gang are all still around. Seriously though, hi everyone. I’m Sacha. I joined several years ago, but haven’t been on in ages. Finished my doctorate and have been working full time as well as trying to get out on the bikes as much as possible. This last winter was a long one! I have a 2014 Bolt (Bobby Dee) and a 1976 DT175 (Sweet Dee). I restored the DT with much help from the YOC members! Hopefully I’m still welcome. 😆

Just saying hi have a 1981 Yamaha 1100 special I owned about 20 years. Now to old/disabled to ride. Passing it to my son. Has 53K Km . Son saying Rpm is jumping up to 4K when idling and when riding. Any ideas what is going on, how to fix would be greatly appreciated.

Just bought my first motorcycle yesterday ('07 v-star 1300). I'm on the road taking her for a few hour ride around Lake Livingston Texas. I stopped at a diner for a BLT and I happened upon this forum. Figured this was the place to be. I haven't run into any issues yet, but I'm sure I will before long. I'd appreciate any tips or tricks, as well as any riding buddies around the Houston area. I'm band new to all of this. I'm also going to be doing a ride from Houston, TX to west Colorado and camping along the way next month. Planning to head through NM. Any advice or good places to check out, or ride would be appreciated.

'Ey, as the title suggests, up! As I own two Yamahas; in fact, two bikes for the first time since I started with an RD50M in 1979, I thought maybe it was time to join. I have a 2003 XJ600N; which is my 'modern' bike, and a 1984 TR1, aka XV1000.

Hi all, Just joined. I have a a 1998 SR125 which I enjoy tinkering with and is an ongoing restore project. Looking forward to sharing knowledge, hints and tips. Thanks, Clive 😀

Just joined this OC, saying hello. Boy of the 80's interested in anything related to XS650/750/850 and especially XS1100. Owned many previously used and enjoyed examples. Based in UK SE, currently looking for XS650 project but also have shed full of XS1100 parts/engines, and a nice 1100S [82].

Hi all, I am a typical bloke in his 50s who rode bikes in his yoof My Wife has been against me getting back into it for decades, but her viewpoint has softened this year when our 19 year old son did his A2 licence and agrees it would be sensible for me to get back into it to keep an eye on our lad.... 😉 What has hastened this is the accidental acquisition of two bikes. Firstly my son found a pair of derelict bikes in the farmyard over the road, the farm had been sold so the farmer just told us to take them as the yard was going to be cleared. Turms out it is an almost complete XT125 and half of a DT125R. The DT had no frame number so I broke that and sold o…

Hi, I have purchased a 1980 xt 500 that was brought in from Greece, I also received the customs documentation with it. I applied to get it registered but was told that it would need the age verified by the Yamaha owners club. I would be very grateful for any advice on the best way to go about it

Hi all, Just joined, i have a few Yamahas , RD250LC, DT175MX,DT50MX and an RS100, The RS is my actual bike from when i was 17 (55 now) and was a chance find, needs a full restore. Thanks Mark😀

Hi. Im 44 year old biker from Finland. My latest purchase is Yamaha DT 125x 2006

Just joined the club, wish I had found it sooner. Owned many Yamaha’s over the years, RZ’s, FZ1, LC’s and just finished a resto on a ‘74 RD350a. Now starting work on a ‘barn find’ ‘65 YM1, has 5500 miles on the Odo and zero oil in the 2t injector tank ... so the motor is first on the list, top end looks an easy fix but finding engine bits ( crank / rods ) hard to find ... just starting on this, and it IS a long winter here, so .....
