    Hey Goff,

    Very envious. What did you do with your beautiful 650 Dragstar?

    I traded her in against the 950 :D

    I had the 125 version and went up to a 650 Dragstar Classic 4 days after passing my test. If the 950 is better than mine, then it must be good. Sure looks good in Goff's pics. My nephew is over 6 foot tall and rides my 650 comfortably.

    Where in the south are you????

    The 950 is the spanking new model from Yamaha. Its MUCH more modern than any of the other bikes in the star range, and made my 2004 650 look REALLY dated!

    Its belt driven, had a matt black frame and just enough shiny bits to make it look sexeh without being tacky. The riding position is much more comfier too as the bars have more of a pullback. :D

    Hi all, I'm new here to the forums, and thought I'd ask a cople of questions about my new obsession.. :rolleyes:

    I have a XVS125 Dragstar, which I'm hoping to upgrade when i pass my full test(Soon, soon!!).

    I'm very much leaning towards a XVS950a(I know its a big jump etc etc, but i'm 36, and my speeding days are very nearly over!!)..

    Does anyone on here have one, or know of someone with one?

    Basically, before i get all 'cited and everything, I would like to know what it's like to live with, especially as I'm 6ft3 and the 125 is a leeetle cramped for me.. :-)

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Cheers,

    Tony

    I have one

    If you look in my profile you will see piccies

    I was the first person in the UK to own one :D

    I absolutely LOVE IT

    Its comfortable, easy to handle and an absolute dream to ride.

    It looks modern, and i do beleive Yamaha may just have got it right this time.

    And their quality is absolute crap these days.

    They've gone too big and turned nastily commercial in their philosophy - "once you've paid we don't give a f**k!"

    I heard that they weren't as good as they used to be too

    Theory Test

    You dont need to buy a DVD - you can practice online HERE

    There are also several other sites that do practice theory tests too.

    The key is not to click too much - if you do they will score you zero.

    Its a piece of piss tbh, but have a practice and see how you go. ;)

    Would like to apologise, an open apology to all, if my previous message was slightly negative :unsure:

    I sort of skim read it all :closedeyes: , and wanted to post up a reply in the heat of the moment.. :blush:

    No need for an apology whatsoever ;)

    Also would like to point out the fact that if they were members of any other religion, and in a Muslim country, i.e. Muslim laws in place; imagine what the authorities would put them thru if they had treated that country's troops in a smililar manner!!!

    Also would like to share my point on this! The police, WHY THE F*** didnt they take any action??!!

    This is just an utter pisstake, as it's these induviduals who hate the country and treat the servicemen/servicewomen like crap, then what will they move on to next?? It's these individuals who NEED a lesson taught!! If they can do this in the open, with police around them, imagine what they may be doing behind closed doors! If it were up to me, I'd have all the Mulsims in the UK to unite, and elimiate these extremists, who I believe are not worth the title Muslim.. Not sure if anybody has come across this, but the the Word Muslim, is derived from "Islam" literally meaning "Peace".. Where the hell is the "peace" part of it gone with these kn*bs??!! The Police should trace these people down, and the leader of the group, and follow thier EVERY single step!! Now that what I call fair policing!! Somebody acts like a twat, they should be dealt with!!

    Slightly off topic, but in my two years of driving cars, i have been stopped 13 times by police, just for the routine check..

    People tell me to make a complaint!

    "Its cos ure asain!!"

    "Its cos ure a muslim!"

    "Its cos of the beard!!"

    Ive heard them all!

    Do I want to complain?

    Did I even feel offended that they stopped me?

    Do i blame them for stopping me??

    Simply, NO! because I dont blame the police for doing their job, policing.. We normal Muslims take the grunt for the minority of them dicks out there!!

    And i totally agree with that - well 'cept the keep getting stopped bit - my god i bet you're on first name terms witht he local traffic bods near you now arent you? Its a bit much!

    Are you fairly young and do you drive a powsh car though? That might the reason?

    Right, just to add my two pence...

    I feel that the way this topic has grown, and the way its headed is slightly unfair..

    Personally, I'm a Muslim.. I have friends who are Christian, Hindu and Sikh, and many many other religions..

    I DISAGREE with the scumbags that deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth, yes, those who u lot were mentioning about. they are wrong, and are nothing short of backwards-single-minded b*stards!!

    There are people out there, fighting, risking thier lives, for freedom and justice, and to get rid of ignorance and to pursue a decent world!! These brave young servicemen and servicewomen, deserve a warm welcome, not some silly tw*ts who claim to be Muslim, humiliating them and taking the piss.

    However, I feel that the way some people have talked about "Muslims" in this thread, is slightly unacceptable..

    Sorry, I'm not picking a fight with anybody, nor would I like to, but just would like to say that these tw*ts you see and hear about on the news, are not the people the Mulsim population in general would like to relate to.. These idiots, do not follow what Islam teaches, having studied my religion for a very long time, I can say this is as a matter of fact, AGAINST prophetic traditions!!

    These b*stards have nothing better to do, and unfortunately all Muslims are held resposnsible!!

    I actually don't blame y'all for saying what u said, because I'd say the same thing if I was in your position.. The only people to blame are the small minority, who seem to think that they can disrupt our lives!!!

    Hope this message doesn't offend, I have tried to be as honest as possible, and wanted to get my point across to you all.. Please feel free to comment, but please do not offend Muslims as a whole. I know, some are twats, and do not deserve to be called human, but I assure you, not all of us are like that. Im sure that many of you have come across Muslims in your day-to-day lives, do they seem like utter d*ckheads?? Doesn't that show how it's just some who wreck it for all.

    thanks

    It doesnt offend - but i dont agree that its unfair - because nowhere in this thread does anyone say all Muslims are responsible.

    The posters ALL say that these scumbags who did this are Muslims - which they are

    Had there been any inclination that this was tarring all Muslims with the same brush then i would have been the first to jump on it - I am of Muslim descent - hell i even have a Muslim maiden name - but i dont offend easily.

    Many Muslims are peaceful people and not all of them are terrorists who want to kill people and who stand waving placards against our soldiers - but those that did are Muslim, and they are the scum of the earth.
