    Hello newbie here I'm Ant New to this forum. Used to spend plenty of time on car forums so bikes are a nice change. From the midlands area ! And I'm currently on my 2nd 125 and I'm enjoying my Ybr but wishing it had a bit more grunt like most owners! Been riding for just over two years now That's all I think

    Hey guys! I have introduced myself before, but it's been almost a year and I haven't really been here since, so I thought I would do it again! I currently ride a Yamaha YBR 125 with my 18 year old body (not really since the engine is broken atm..). I bought the bike almost not used (with 1600km on it) and it now has 24000km. On two years! I live in Oslo in the great state of Norway, therefore the somewhat gramatically fauled English. If anyone ever wants to contact me, my skype is Kristevj. Just to finish it of, great to be here!

    Hi everyone , I'm Kevin . Longtime courier/despatch rider , I'm 44 riding since 17 , picked up a 4yr ban 5yrs ago (in a car) and I'm making some shapes about getting back on the road . I got rid of my trusty CB500 when I got nailed . So with my options limited by my ahem, limited means I have decided to resurrect the 1982 350 LC that has been lurking around in various locations in the folks garage for the last 10yrs or so . I had given my bro a tuned but tatty German import LC which I got as a part ex for another bike (Jeebus , but that German thing could move ) . He bought another LC to use as a parts donor but after riding it home discovered that everything on it w…

Call me M. from R.S.A (yes we have electricity and internet ) started many years ago with a red/black dt 50 watercooled.,served me well. Eventually upgraded to 86 it 200. went to college came back and my folks had sold it off ( only a 3 month course ) very annoyed. a few years later shared a 1996 FZR 750 with the old man...sold it off because one of us wouldn't be here today. Finally got a 2000 Honda CR250 2 stroke. scary bike but awesome. Started a family sold the toy and found a 1999 dt 175 rotting away on the family farm. so apart from having a wife , child and a car I thoug…

  11. Started by Oldcoot,

    Howdy! Decided to come over from the Honda site to keep up with some Yamaha topics. Selling the Honda and am rejuvinating a 1978 DT100 with 1060 miles on it. Barn find and it looks like it will slick up well. All I have to do is dismantle a few parts (carb, mainly.) It has been sitting in a barn for 21 years with GAS IN IT! I know the job I will be facing in getting all the crud out of the carb and tank. Anyway, I'm 81 and have been riding since I was 12. Lots of bikes and scooters down the road that I have barked my knuckles on. Gerald

  12. Hey everyone!!! I picked up my first bike a few months back, '86 FZ600 (nearly naked). It has been my project/nightmare since march '14 but i wouldn't trade it for the world. I love it! Anyways, I'm Samantha. Im from the lovely state of Oregon, Ive always been a gear head but this is my first bike. Ive built a few jeeps in the past aswel as some classic muscle cars. I have a degree in diesel so I know my way around a toolbox pretty well but humor me if i ask some dumb questions. Im still getting used to working on bikes. Anyone else from the Pac NW? Lets Ride YO!! Here are a few pictures of my FZ after cutting down the front fairing …

    Hi All. I 'm a new member in Perth Western Australia. I 'm a bloke in his 50's who loves a beer and runs 2 older dual purpose bikes (BMW R1100GS and 2002 DT 175) and an ancient Landrover. I WILL ask lots of stupid questions. My main aim in joining is for technical support, as I know forums like this have members with a wealth of knowledge. I also aim to contribute and will post details and photos of any jobs I do and explain exactly how I fixed it. All the best and look forward to talking to you all. Regards.

    Hello! My name is Sam and I am an 18 year old rider from Essex. I currently ride a Yamaha YBR 125 with a Leo Vince exhaust Have to put the exhaust out there aha! Ignore the R6 in my name, it's one of my favourite 600cc bikes and I aim to have one once in my life. Even though I am only 5ft 6 and I doubt I will fit, I can always get one lowered
