PINK OR BROWN??

What's Yours? Mine: 1974 Norwich to London. I had a Triumph Tiger 650 (Bonny with a single carb). I had been up to see a mate and hooked up with another rider on a Norton 750 Commando, who I got talking to - as you do. Two Brit twins thundering down the A11 on a beautiful summer day. I can remember it as if it was yesterday. I've done 10s of thousands of miles all over the UK mainly and some in Europe and enjoyed them all, but this ride was pure biking heaven.

hi all i have a fs1e(fizzy) it is a 1988 model can this be classic insurance??? plz help thx

i dont know if anyone else has heard but i've just received an email from the Auf Pet site...(big fan you see been a geordie and that) it appears Pat Roach has unfortunately passed away after 3 hard years of trying to fight the Big C. My respects go out to all concerned and out of respect i'm gonna do an Auf Pet watch-a-thon tonight..and watch all 4 series :cry: .

Hi, Kenny Roberts showed his class once again in final qualifying for the German GP. It is possible that he is the only rider out there who could actually go head to head with Rossi. I know the Americans like him, but I cannot see what all the fuss is about re: Nicky Hayden. Another interesting point, I think: These races are finally proving how much better Moto GP riders are compared to WSB. Only Xaus seems to have any real natural speed and he's a crasher. Bayliss is too ragged. Hodgson is just average. Edwards is being outclassed. All this begs the question: Just how good was Foggy really? In my opinion he just happened to be better than Corser and Chili, but any of…

Hi Folks, I have just installed the Alpha Dot Vehicle Security System onto the XT660. This comes free with all new Suzukis. I think that it is a good sytem which is why I have put it on the Yamaha. The only problem is that the poor little thing now thinks that it is a Suzuki and will need therapy :?

This time not on the bike in the car!!!!.......... Right here goes......I'm allready on a main road sitting waiting to pull out with my right indictor on, a car from behind flashes me to come out out which I do. Then a woman decides to some out of a lane also at pulling from my left side (she didnt see the car flashing me, obviously!) but while I was looking to my right at ready to pull out (after the car flashing me) she pulling out too :evil:, and we hit!!. Now I just asked two cops who were walking on the beat they came over and saw what happened, and basically said. I was allready on the road waiting to pull out, she wasn't!, she was still waiting from a …

I saw the BBC thing. Yep! We are seen as BAD. Why? Simple. The Nob Heads who ride sports bikes at ridiculous speeds with loud cans down to "biker friendly" meeting places and back are using the same roads as the Boring Old Farts who clog up the roads with their caravans. The Nob Heads never actually go anywhere, their reasons for biking are down to their Mid Life Crisis. At home they have boring wives, lawns to cut, IKEA furniture to polish etc,. So when they get on their bikes, which have to be the latest, fastest and coolest, and put on their replica helmets, leathers and boots, they have a point to prove. "We aren't really boring middle aged men like these caravan dr…

Who going to NEC this year for the Motorcycle Show 2004? Me and the Mrs have already bought the tickets......can't wait to go and sit on all the different bikes and get a feel before I decide which one to get for next year!

My brother has just been round on his new bike......a Honda Shadow! :shock: I had a go (as you do, not wearing his piss pot and shades by the way 8) )........minging! I am deffo not a cruiser type guy. I am proud to say.

The police in our area now use this yellow and red card system for riders.....Just wondered if any of you (or anyone you know) has recieved one of these cards and whether it was a tin box copper or a Spam European rider that dished it out. I got pulled over by a spam Euro rider and by a little "chat" at the side of the road got away with a seven day wonder. Do you guys think the "caution" system will work or is it just a case of trying to defer the pocket rocket riders?

well i think we all know my thoughts on riding in the wet, anyway was caught out yesterday in scotchland :wink: so i had over 150miles (circular) rain and grief :cry: what do you guys reckon is the best way to handle the rain....my method being, mainly back brake and quarter throttle through the corners in a relatively high gear..4th/5th hopefully loading the rear suspension and not the front.

Why is it that if your using b/b 512k why does it download stiff at things like between 66-75k, I really cant get my brain round this :? Where does the 512k come into play, or this just another lot (of the many) sales shite that your hit with, to get you to part with your money.
