Try going to your local dealer and asking for some triple trees.. The part that illuminated is usually known as the top yolk in good ol' blighty

Re: Whats a motorcycle made of? Girl Garage.

Sorry GB, In my first reply I was not really guessing.., it was an attempt at sarcasm..

On the whole the vid is ok, but that triple tree thing was a glaring difference in the names used..(and also fender obviously... she seems to have a guitar where here mudguard should be!!) and she should mount her guitar to the rear sub frame

The rest seems ok, but on a personal note if I did all the checks in vid 1 then I would have to get up 15 mins earlier to go to work.. seems a little excessive.

This is not bad if you want to know how to service a tractor

Don't they have any real bikes in the USA apart from the YMCA type ones.

Seriously you guys - stop taking the piss or find an english version of this type of video for some of us who havent a clue and are new to biking.


With all due respect, piss taking on more serious type of help thread does not encourage new bikers to ask questions and if you notice the sign over the door of this thread it say's - new rider information
