    Hello YOC! I've just joined this forum in order to help maintain my bike, a 2010 YBR-125. It's my first bike, and although I've already fallen off it once (sorry) I'm keen to keep it in good nick. I've recently passed my CBT and am hoping to go to Direct Access soon, though learning to drive a car may come first to help with some confidence issues. Looking forward to chatting to you all.

    Hi, I've followed the forum for about 3 years. This is my first post. I've got a XVS125, which I've been tinkering with and slowly getting it to my liking. I'm based in West Yorkshire, currently studying for a MEd in Psychology of Education, having worked with SEN for the last 8 years. I'm hoping to take my full license after I'm qualified, it's too expensive at the moment! I got back into the scene after having a bike at college, and finally being able to afford one again. Not a result of a mid life crisis, ahem, honestly. Really impressed how much the bike community has grown, gear improved and the quality of bikes since I first started riding in 1994. F…

    I'm glad to be part of this community and I expect to read about you and learn some things that I need to know about the R1 Yamaha model... there is a long story about WHY I'm here, but I will tell you later. Meanwhile, thank you for let me in...

    Hi All, I actually joined back in '08 when I bought my Thundercat but I didn't get into using the forum. In fact I totally forgot I joined! 8 years later and I've just put a deposit down on a shiny, new XV950 Racer so I thought I'd find a forum full of like-minded folk, only to find I've already signed up! Anyway, look forward to talking custom mods and hopefully attending a meet-up or two! Pick up the XV tomorrow. I'm like a kid at Christmas!! Zero work getting done today! Cheers! LD

    New to this forum - singer songwriter from Brighton UK, biking since 1981. That's it folks! For anyone who's in the market, Halfords are doing a 58 piece Ratchet screwdriver set which includes Torx bits and hex nuts and all the usual cross-head flathead for a paltry 15 quid, I just bought one to look at the diaphragms.

    Hi Eveveryone, Just bought my first bike restoration project, a 1973 YB100. From what I've seen on Google Images and Haynes so far it looks like some details were changed in 1975 then more in later years. If anyone has images they would care to share, or a sympathetic owner of a 1973/1974 model who is within reasonable driving distance of Manchester and would not mind a visit from me and my camera I would be grateful. Thanks, Grahame
