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.

Just was banned from CykoWorld cause i was bothering the forums twats. So i'm boycotting/burning therre rag

These screws (well small bolts) about half way on the down pipes. anyone know?, Iv'e got them on mine.

To get a 750 (YZF) bored out to 1k, just curious.

Then I'll keep the bike and put it back to "standard", I really like another FJ120 though, but I'll just have to see how things go. I had planned for the new 04 R1, but not right now, and to quite frank I dont know if I could handle one either.

Yep as stated in "the bar", I'm selling the YZF, I'm getting to auld n sore, I'm not giving up bike's, oh no!!!. But I'll go for a FJ1200 if I can find one, I know it wont be the balls out "head in the clocks, arse in the air" of the yzf, but thats life!. But it's all thanks to my bike smash from years ago, yep there's few thinks "showing up" now, bastard! :evil:
