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.

there was a pic posted earlier with some very bad(gore) content. froggy, dont post that stuff again!. things like this are in very bad taste and none of us want to see it, it's sick tbh. this is a free for all forum and by all means say your mind, post daft pics up but i have to draw the line at this stuff. any further happenings of this and the person behind it will be given a warning or in extreme cases banned! froggy, nothing will be done about this but in future there will be. you dont have to keep it clean(in the correct area of the board) but no sick stuff. you have been warned :twisted:

On Friday I was in full XT adventurer "man of the hills" mode. I took the remote single track road from Talybont to the Nantymoch Reservoire. Have a look at your maps it is in Ceredigion, Mid Wales. This road climbs from sea level to well over 1000 feet in 5 miles, with sheer drops and blind hairpins. So, there I am thinking, what a road and what a perfect bike I had for this road. At this point I catch up a ............Gold Wing TRIKE!!!! Fully dressed with all the fairy lights. He let me through with a wave. I waited at the top of the pass. He pulled over and stopped. He and his wife were in their 70s and they were on the Round Britain Rally. Real Bikers Respect :sh…

Just got my road tax bill, 117 euro's, i thought, bugger, thats expensive! But when i think back to what i had to pay to keep my bikes on the road in the uk, it seems cheap. Road tax for a litre bike 117 euro's (75 quid) Insurance (3rd party) 237 euro's (160 quid) MOT....it doesnt exist here for bikes! 235 quid to keep a litre bike on the road for a year doesnt seem so bad after all! How do your costs compare?

This is fucking great! Bloke buys a brand new Kwak cruiser for £8500 and it's RUSTY when he first takes delivery of it. Long term dispute goes on, resulting in a 4 hour siege at the bike shop in Exeter with Police Negotiators called in!

Please someone help me. My boyriend and i are borrowing a friends R6 for 2 weeks, i've just gone out on it and i hate it. My bum moves around on the seat, the positions awful (i cant see anything as i cant lift my head up) and when braking my bum comes off the seat and i feel like i'm going over the top (oh and if we go over a bump while braking my feet fall off the pegs). I've always wanted a bike like this but now I hate it. Am i doing something wrong? Does anyone have any advice? :cry:
