    hi folks. just been on the phone to a friend of mine and he has a cheap '99 triumph tiger (1500 euro). anybody owned/ rode one and anything to look for? i already have a '94 trident so the mechanics are much the same just wondering about handling ect. cheers
  2. And it boiles my blood to think that those in power can use it to bail out banks, who should suffer the same fate as any other business when they make bad business descisions. That and fighting a foe that no-one has ever beaten throughout history. dont get me started on that shower of bankers!!!!!!
  3. just signed the petition. as a scotsman living in ireland you have my support. the extra revenue aint going to be spent on the roads thats for sure. these goverment ministers wouldnt know a pot hole or desiel spill if it bit them on thier fat f***ing a**es. the b******s steal enough of our cash already on petrol duty. when was the last time one of these overpaid criminals filled thier minesterial car with THIER OWN money instead of yours?

    hi mate if the bike has been "lock wired" it means that any nuts ect. have been drilled so as wire can be passed through the hole and tied so as the nuts/bolts dont fall off if they become loose.(same idea as a split pin). this has to be done on race bikes to pass scrutineering. look around the bike for any tell-tale signs of drilling that looks aftermarket,e.g. oil filler cap,exhaust mounts,foot pegs. go od luck with the bike.

    the LEDs use less watts than the original bulbs so this will cause them to flash quicker. by fitting the bulds under the seat it compensates the wattage going to the LEDs so they flash normally. you can buy the relays in halfords ect.

    brother-inlaw has an sr250 with ignition problems. bike was running but cut out and would run intermitently. new coil fitted, plug,all connections checked,has been told now it is the pick up coil. is there any way of testing them and would a pick up from another yamaha model fit it? he lives 200 miles away and i cant get the bike to my shed to check it out. any help much appreciated. thanks
