New Members Welcome Area

Thanks for letting me join your group! I am looking forward to sharing your collective wisdom, and hopefully bringing something to the group! I have around 50 motorcycles, primarily vintage enduros and motocross bikes. I used to race Suzuki TM125s/250s/400s back in the day, and I imagine I am trying to recreate my childhood. (No one has ever done that, right?) Anyway, I've been specializing in Yamaha DTs and RTs lately, but just picked up a Yamaha 125 YAS1C, and know NOTHING about them. I didn't even like them until I saw this one. I have all kinds of ideas running around in my head about what to do with it, but it is so insanely complete, anything short of a full rest…

Morning. Saying Hi more than anything. Im Joe. the main reason im here is for my other half who has just brought her first bike, and im trying to get the lowdown on what the bike is like and where the best place to get spares and bits and bobs. It is a little tatty and needs some work. New front mudguard, left hand fairing, and a few other bits. YZF600R Thundercat. It has done a few miles 40K but as its her first bike I don't think that's too much of a worry. Any pointers and tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi, I'm Dave, but I use the name Morseman because, in another hobby, I use Morse Code a lot. I've just bought my first Yamaha. It's a V reg XVS650 Drag Star. However, it is a trike, not a bike. I did do a search before posting this fact just to make sure that trikes were welcome on the forums. ;-) Not having ever passed the bike test, it was the only way, other than going through all the hoops to get a full bike licence, that I could ride. I have had a full car licence since I was 17, way back in 1979. I'm going to get my CBT and I might decide to carry on to a full bike licence, I'll see how I go with a two wheeled machine. I'll pos…

Hey folks how's it going.......new member so just jumping in to say hi

Just a hello to all, I am new to the forum, with a Yamaha FZS600 2003.

Hi all, middle aged English guy here. I keep an old SR125 in Cyprus for cheap sunny winter holidays and it's great for exploring on and off road. The trails here are fantastic and when I've gained some more experience I'll probably get a small Yamaha dirt bike, but for now the SR is so much fun! Typical Cyprus mods include holes drilled in back end of exhaust for heroic sounds and a 16 tooth front sprocket for a bit more top speed. Just changed chain and sprockets back to original spec to get lower 1st gear for steep gravelly hills. And I filled the exhaust holes because I was shaking the plaster off old houses as I rode past!

Hi all, New to the forum. A Black Country biker from the age of 16, now in my 50,s. Had all sorts of bikes over the years starting with a bronze coloured fizzy and a dt 175. Currently have a 78 XS 250 and GS 1200 can't wait for the spring. Oh I'm also a publican. Chers

Hey guys, just started out riding again got a DT125R that I'm using currently and doing bits on ready to sell in the summer to pay for my full test and a bigger bike, and I also have a TW125 as a little project bike I'm customising.

Hello all, Coming back to bikes after a three year lay off, always rode BMW and gave a new GS serious thought, but man, they're expensive as hell! The FJ/MT09 tracer has really grabbed my interest, the reviews are excellent! cheers Damian

Hi there, my name is Aaron and I've spent the last year building a Yamaha DTR125 from scratch. I have come on here to get some help with a few things, so hope you good people can give me some advice. Have a great day and hope to hear from you soon. Aaron

Hi everyone! I'm Dylan, a mech eng student from Birmingham, UK. Started off with an SR125 when I was 18 and have been tinkering ever since. I'm 24 soon and looking forward to getting my full license sorted. Working on a DT125LC at the moment and decided I'd jump on here where the pro's linger for when the going gets tough! Anyway just a brief hi really, good to get started! [Edit] - added a picture of myself working on the DT in my mums dining room. She was most impressed!

Just to say hello I'm a new member I own a1994 fzr600r and a zephyr 750 will post pics at a later date in 67 years old and still enjoying my bikes

Hi Folks. New member. Just been given a 1978 xs400E which I am going to attempt to restore. Quite a project as it has been standing outside, unused for about 15-20 years. I'll have lots of questions and hope I won't annoy everybody.. Strange thing is it doesn't seem to match the published spec even though the previous owner bought it from new in America. The spec says front disk brake, this is drum. Spec says electric start this isn't. Never had a proper middle stand just a side stand. Pictures show two exausts but this one goes into one. Tried finding out about it through the VIN but mine is a very short VIN not the 17 now used. Can anyone shed any light on these 'odditi…
