Here's hoping she stays available.

Good one! Getting the classic one then?

Jayda. Bummer about the bike. Hope they get it sorted with minimal labor!

Not much for an introduction either.

Hi Kev. to the YOC.

Mike.

Well that's kind of a pisser isn't it? Isn't a reason behind getting the tapered ones to get away from the older style? Hmm I hope I don't run into that.

Was waiting for that one.

Connor. I take it the previous owner didn't say why he mixed the fuel and oil instead of using the oil pump. I would think it'd be better to use the pump since it adjusts the oil according to throttle... probably worth finding out if the pump is bad. I usually let my bike warm up for just a minute, but other folks here will have a better idea about that and the oil mix. This section's just for intros though so your technical questions may get overlooked.

They'll say "BRILLIANT!"

That's perfect! She is one strikingly beautiful damsel! You didn't tell me you're an artist. Except... where's the Yamaha?! Something more like this for the background?

Alright! We have some takers then eh?! Just a short skip across the pond for me... and I'm sure it'll go over about as well as a turd in a swimming pool with hubby.

Hi Barna. How do you like the MT? Post up some pics when you can.

Teeg123. Sounds like you have some fun projects. btw - Is that a Rocco pic? I'll have a coke then.

I'm 5'2" and the 100s are as tall as I can go on dirt bikes... well the dirt bikes I've ridden anyway (KD100M and XR100). But I'm fairly certain I was able to sit comfortably on the DT175 (otherwise I would not have accepted it) so my legs might be a bit longer?

Looks like a fun bike.

No? You fellas gonna strike a pose for us girlies?

how about an XS 1100 martini?

Hansie. Lots of good Yamaha info and knowledgeable folk here.

Hi Dekka. to the YOC. No idea on the screen.

Love the R6? They are nice looking bikes. You should start riding... get yourself an R6 and your boy can have the moped you suggest. I'm sure that would go over well. like DirtyDT said once they get hold of you it's hard to shake.

Photos of the bikes ya? I'd buy that.

Serves him right! I came out of a store behind a family and watched as their youngster started touching my bike... I was glad when I heard his dad say "Don't touch that. It's not yours." I'd hate to have to break a kid's finger, but I would.

I had a weak battery and the indicators would light up, but they wouldn't flash. Don't know how old your battery is or whether you should check the specific gravity. Doesn't explain why the rear indicators would work and not the front though does it? Have you checked the fuses? Not sure if this will help as I don't know the relay you have, but it might be worth a read http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_7789429_test-threeprong-flasher-relay.html. Found this helpful for explaining how the circuit works http://www.yamaha-triples.org/workshop/harnett-signals.asp. Might be of some use too. ?? I'm sure someone here will have a better idea. Might want to list all the steps you've taken so far.
