Member Info: Like all sorts of bikes, sportsbikes, cruisers, supermoto, motocross, old Brit bikes, old Eastern European bikes, trikes, sidecar outfits, streetbikes, custom bikes, streetfighters, drag bikes. Into traveling and all that good stuff, go to as many rallies and events as I can. Bit partial to watching enduro/motocross/supermoto racing too. Would like to do a few enduros, just for fun really, but have to wait until I finish my studies first I think!

1992 Yamaha RXS 100

Purchased: Feb 2007
Info: Started first kick when I bought even though it had not been ridden for over a year! Good fun on the right roads, very cheap to run and very light weight. Will be fitting knobblies soon so I can do a bit of gentle green-laning. (I do miss my DT!)

Info: Currently not rideable but plan to get it restored and have a sidecar fitted. But alas, she has to go, no room at my new place. :( a friend is now tending her wounds. :)

Sold: Sep 2007
Info: Good bike, great fun, powerful enough but not too powerful, bit tall for me as off-roader. Unfortunately had untold amounts of woe with the engine on this bike even though they are usually reknowned for reliability. UPDATE: Recently found this thing''s engine chewed itself to bits when the person I sold it too sold it on again. Glad I got rid of it when I did!

Purchased: Apr 2004
Sold: Jun 2006
Info: Very fast as a first big bike, quite heavy but not so much as a bandit. Had hours of fun with this bike, unfortunately it died in an accident when articulated lorry caused multi-car/bike pile-up.

Purchased: Oct 2003

Info: Very good bike, great fun, most reliable bike I''ve ever had, user friendly. Best put road legal knobblies on for off-road fun, as dual-sport ones a bit rubbish.
