Peapod Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hello everyone My name is Rob. Iv just passed my CBT and Iv managed to buy a Yamaha XVS Dragstar. I can honestly say its a gorgeous ride. I had such a time trying to get my first bike and without going into details Im glad that my troubles led to this bike. I am new to all this and I fully intend on learning the ins and outs of my bike. So nice to meet you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwan Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Iv been trying to but it hasn't uploaded for some reason. Il work it out. check in the newbies section, in their under the FAQ's sub forum, there is a guide on how to upload pictures. ImageShack is the one i use, as it's a doddle to navigate.

Peapod Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I found that the image was to big. I was uploading the picture from my phone and it dosent have a scale down so Il put it on my laptop and shrink it down. Thanks for the advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Welcome Rob, 125 draggy is a good bike and if you need any help on it i have a work shop manwell that i can dig through for you if needed. As for membership you can upgrade when ever you want, you get a little bit more than a freebee would, But seeing that it looks like you just got hitched i can see why you cant fork out £5 at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peapod Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I just spent all me money on the Dragstar lol. I had a good look through all the paper work and discovered that the MOT ran out yesterday haha. And my Uncle had a good look at it today as Im a total Noob on bikes and I may need a new chain and back sprocket and definately will need a new back tyre. **sigh** the biggest kick in me ball bag is that I cant afford all that plus tax and insurance for a few weeks haha so I am still bus bound.. any Idea of how much a back tyre may cost?
