    Greetings, I'm returning to biking for occasional commuting and leisure use after a 12 year lay off. I've just bought a 1991 FZR600, which should be quick enough to make me smile, but not so mental it'll kick me in the nuts. No one piece leathers on bananas helmet designs - don't wanna look like a power ranger, just want to enjoy he bike quietly. Sweet. Just thought i'd say hi to y'all.

    Hi Yamaha riders.. I'm here posting to appeal for help. On Friday 20th, commuting to work down the M11 southbound towards London, I had an unscheduled off whilst filtering due to a stupid driver who pulled out in front of me. Dmg is not major but he is denying it was his fault. There was a yellow bike behind me. I believe it was a Yamaha. If this was you, please could you drop me an email to [email protected] No witnesses provided their details so it will be his word versus mine. There were a few bikes that stopped to make sure I was ok and a van. If any other person travels or commutes down the M11 and remembers what the traffic was like that day betw…

    I bought a new blue FZ6 Fazer S2 two weeks ago. Thinking about wind/rain protection for the hands. Yamaha sells fairing add-ons (they call them 'knuckle visors'). What do people think? I think I like them more than the black off-road type brush guards I was thinking about. http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/accessories/...essoryId=360843 Here's what they look like fitted: http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p22/ujo...iringinsert.jpg Price is £109.99 Jon.
