TT 2024 on 10:52 - May 31 by union_jack | I had a black with gold lines Puch 50 when I was 16. Loved those days but problems with the carb, I lost the main jet so I had to unscrew the bottom of the carb and pour out the petrol. Took me ages to get a new one from the dealers on Windsor Rd in Neath. |
JT's had a shop on the Corner of Windsor Road in Neath for years, bought a couple of bikes from them. Think Mount Motors took it over, they still got a shop on a side road off St Helens road, as well as the Shop in Taibach JT's in Cwmburla is still going strong, There's another JT's in the industrial estate off Waterton Cross, they used to service my Yam Tracer. Thunderroad do some great deals from time to time, bought two of my Fireblades off them. [Post edited 31 May 16:39]

Not anymore Uni, I'm 63 and I'm done with bikes, if I had stayed biking it might be different 5 yrs without riding now, not a great idea to jump back into it. | |

Very sensible! Iām 63 on election day and though I love looking at the pics online, I know Iād be very foolish to even think seriously about getting one. Too much time has passed like you said, much more than you in this case. | |

I moved up here in 83, been here since if my family situation was different I'd have gone back to Swansea by now. | |

TT 2024 on 01:04 - Jun 1 with 593 views | Robbie | Mounts in Swansea is my go to place for MOTs and a look about , tidy staff , bikers also . Colleague just passed his test and still on his chicken chaser went to M+P Gorseinon for a trade in on his 125 , but a big company like that were not flexible in price negotiation. He liked a bike there but a deal could not be done , sure smaller places would be grateful of the exchange and purchase of an upgrade , his 125 is immaculate too . We talked about his Bike Test , online stage modules including BHP limits for new passes . A word of advice I had from my tutor back in the day was Life Saver Check . Going through Winch Wen Industrial Estate with an examiner on my tail I certainly used that heads up on every occasion possible . He must have liked it and passed me . I still use that practise to this day , habit drilled into me by a good instructor. I despair at some or the youngster who find it ok to go on a busy road on a bike wearing just shorts , T Shirts and trainers for safety . | | | |

Book a Bikesafe day for you both, its an enjoyable day out and you'll both learn loads, moreso your mate of course, I held an Advanced Riders License for years, but I've done 3/4 of those Courses, they are run by the Police and are excellent. Kevin Garner used to run them, but he's retired now, Kev was an excellent tutor and rider, lovely guy as well. [Post edited 1 Jun 11:31]

TT 2024 on 22:27 - Jun 3 with 357 views | max936 | Peter Hickman wins another Superbike TT, equalling the late great Mike Hailwood as the fifth most successful solo TT rider. He did have a bit of luck with both Michael Dunlop and Davey Todd having issues at the 2nd pit stop. | |

TT 2024 on 02:00 - Jun 4 with 334 views | Robbie | Though the SideCar Racing might be a bloke on a bike and a side car passenger wearing Captain Biggles type goggles holding on to a roll bar , how wrong I was with that idea . Close to 140 mph with your pillion team mate throwing more moves than Travolta . How do some of them home owners on the course accept the fact a tragic accident could end up their front door , racers know the risks , maybe residents trust the bikers . Either way what a spectacle to see on your doorstep , noise and great skills there . F1 is ok , but so boring compared to this event this week . Only downside would be the costs for fans wanting to attend , prices go through the roof for ferries and accomodation just for one week . | | | |
