I Think its more something i just forget to do and when i do thing about it is when i need to go out. So thats probably the problem.

Hi there, I own a Yamaha Ybr 125 custom and i am planning on selling it Hence why i have another forum about the Logbook. Now the bike was sold to me and i was told by the Hampshire motor cycle centre Southampton that the Mileomiter reads in Km's. It is was registered in 2008. Now when i baught it i was told the 17000 miles were in fact kms and it only had about 11000 on the clock. Please any help would be amasing! Thanks! Joe.

Hi There everyone. I baught my Yamaha Ybr 2 months ago from the Hampshire motor cycle centre in Southampton and have yet to recieve my Log book. I have gone to the post office and got myself a v62 and one of the questions is "Tax Class?". I know its £16 a year but is it under motorcycle or does it have a certain name to it? Any help would be great!

Been Using a Anti Fog spray from Pro bike in Newbury and it seems to work well, I just dont have the time to keep re applying it every few days...

Thankyou wayno, ill have o look into that

(this is typed on my phone so spelling will be terrible!) Hi there, i currently got my hein gerike grips repaired and working. One thing i have noticed and find really is that they turn themselves off, even if they have only been on for 5 mins at 50%. Is this a safety feature or something to prevent them sapping battery life because i found they stayed on for about 30 kins on lowest setting 50% the entire time i was on the a34 with high revs. i have the grips with the two on off buttons(not sure of model) any help would be ace, thank you

I Nod to mopeds and ive yet to get one back from one :/

When i used to ride my ol Speedfight 2 when i was 16 i never used to knod or wave, i never really noticed others doing it. Now i have my YBr125 custom i still have L plates and i always nod but on the a272 on saturday there was a fair amount of bikers and i found that its usualy the bigger bikes that dont bother nodding :/

Thanks Alot for the Info everyone!

Wow! Thanks alot for the advice, I will google Hein Gericke Newbury and find out there location and go and have a look when i do... To come to think about it my broken Hein Gericke heated grips need repairing aswell :/ need to take it back to Yamaha dealer for there return to dealer warrantly. Really dont fancy the ride to southampton for that tho. Fun. Thanks alot for the advice! Joe.

Hi There everyone. As the bad weather stars to come in a problem i have allways had with my visor is it steaming up and wala in seconds i cant see a thing. Now i know about Pinlock inside visors but i just cant afford one. There is riding with it slightly open but then the wind hits my eyes to hard and i have to keep blinking and you loose the water seal at the top of the visor and as most helmets go the ventelation system is... well crap. I currently have a basic Nitro skid lid and ive never owned an expencive one so i dont know if mor expensive visors work better but i cant afford one. Is there any other way to make it so it doesnt steam up as i go along or will i just have to go with it and get used to it? Any tips will be great, Thanks Joe.

That is a great link! Gives me an idea on what im getting myself into if i do my original plan, If i do i may even get in touch with those guys for advice. Thanks! Joe.

Reliant ^ or very good bodywork casing?

Ive allways been a fan of the Cam-Ams, But ive also been looking at a few with a Vw rear and they look properly nice. I see the 600cc's do well in this sort of thing but imagine what a 1000 would be capable of. On the streets we have never beaten a mini bike converted engine ever no matter what we where in we didnt stand a chance. I think im going to go for doing a Trike tho as you said it sounds alot more simple and less work. What i might be best off doing is getting more experiance in the biking sector of mechanics as im more of a car person, I know there similar but its the compactness of everything. When i used to do the occasion job on my old speedfight i never ever got the pannels back on correctly.

A few people are considering making a trike, Now that does seem like an idea and i may look more into it as i wont use as much space. Now a VW has been suggested and a robin has been suggested, Ill defenatly have a look into this and see what i can do. As far as my engineering going i am still a student doing a level 2 but i know my fair share and i am doing this mainly to learn. At the end of the day if something goes wrong it goes wrong and ill learn not to do that again and perhaps ill learn a few great things along the way. When i do get going it will be a slow project as itle cost a fair bit and take time peice by piece but i can image ill allways find a way to be busy. Thanks alot for the suggestions! Joe.
