Project WR Right, last year, I got my hands on a WR200 motor. Now some of you may be thinking, “Err, doesn’t he mean the DT?” Indeed I don’t, Yamaha did in fact manufacture a WR200 between 1991 and 1995 or so. So what’s special about it and how is it different to the DT? Well think of it as...

Well its been a couple years since I really got stuck into my bike, in the meantime I have fitted an LED tail light and a FactoryFX seat cover. With our bunch of riding partners all being at resource and time consuming times of their lives (including me) we have had to sit tight and get the...

Im sitting with a mild predicament. I would like to keep my blaster to my place (currently with my folks) but to do so would mean squeezing it through a garden pedestrian gate which links the house to a garden partition precast wall, which is way to narrow. My bike is about 1.5m wide (will...
