Hi Just finished rebuilding an FZR600r Foxeye 1994 I will post some pics...... Looking to make friends in The UK hopefully for a few ride outs.....

I forgot to make a thread here. Hi, I am John and I am 17 years old. I passed my CBT nearly 2 years ago when I was 16. I currently have a Yamaha YBR 125 and a Suzuki Katana AY50. My Yamaha YBR 125. My Suzuki Katana AY50. Sorry for the massive pictures.

Back to the tuning fork! My first road bike was an RD200 in the 1970s, stopped riding for a while (20 years!), but now back with an FZR600R.

Hi guys My name's John. I'm 29 and I'm new to riding. I've driven on 4 wheels for 10 years and finally gave into the urge for 2 wheels instead. I passed my CBT 2 weeks ago and picked up an absolute shed of a 1991 SR 125 which I'm hoping to get road worthy in the near future. It's going to be a long slog. I didn't call her Rusty without a reason. It's the first time I've done anything mechanical so I'm pretty much learning everything as I go... I'm eager to get her road-worthy and get the MOT passed!

Hi All i am andy and new to the site, i have just bought a new bike and decided i am going to get my full bike license after having to renew my cbt for the 3rd time. I have my theory booked for the 26th so finger crossed. I have just bought a 2013 R125 and am currently runing her in. I went for my first big ride out yesterday 180 odd miles, from southend in essex via chelmsford, Dunmow then onto a fry up in Haverhill, Was a nice to ride out amungst the bigger bikes and i really enjoyed myself, i did ache a lot when i got home tho Just wanted to say hello to everyone and look forward to some banter and chat and maybe if anyone if near southend maybe a ride…

Just saw this club forum thought I'd join. my names John I like older bikes and working on them in my spare time. I currently own a 1983 midnight maxim 750 and am in the process of fixing the carbs and electrical system. just wanted to get that out and introduce myself, thanks

I got my very first bike back in 1975 as a spotty long-haired 17 year old, when I moved to London. It was a Yamaha U5E, a sort of 50cc step-through scooter and it was my first introduction to the world of biking. That was followed by a YB100, and then a YDS7 250. Then a crash ended it all for me, when a car driver turned right across me without indicating. Crunched my left hand up and wrecked the 250. As an apprentice engineer at Heathrow, on £7 a week there was no way I could repair or replace it so it stood rusting in my dad's back garden till he gave it away to someone who wanted to resurrect it. And that was the end of my biking. Didn't even get round to taking the te…

Hi all my name is Craig. I am one of the L plate bikers stuck doing 50 mph holding up some traffic But tuff I enjoy riding my ybr custom 125. I am currently waiting till I'm 24 so I can get my full license to which I can't wait to obtain. If you would like to no more visit my profile later just to give me chance to edit it.

Hi people, I came across this site after searching for info, so thought I would join So about me. Well I started riding bikes at an early age, mainly trials. I passed my test in 81 but spent most of the 80s and 90s competing off road in trials and enduros.The bikes were road registered too, but never felt the need at that time to get a road bike. Got hooked on road bikes in 97 when I bought a new blade. I'm a bit of a petrol head so have a number of bikes, road, off road, classic and modern. I have an 08 R1 that I use solo, and a Ducati MTS1200 that we use for touring. Asside from the R1 I also have an early DT125 that just needs a seat base to be rid…
