    I was just wonder, why do some people insist on modding there bikes (especially sports bikes)? It's not that they're not fast enough already! A stock 600 sports bike will do 0-60 in 3.5 sec! Isn't that good enough perfomance already? :?

    Just to update you all that we are now looking at ways to improve the site in terms of a more regular moderator presence to deal with any situations that may arise. I know there has been concerns in that area and the point is well taken. The situation is that a number of the original Mod team from 2003 no longer visit the site, so we now have to make changes to reflect this. And those of us who are still left have all had major changes in our circumstances over the years which have contributed to us spending less time on here than in the past. However, it's all going to change very soon! If any of you have any ideas for the site in terms of new sections etc then …

    The European Union published a Directive in July 2003 that will require all category C and D licence holders to take part in 35 hours retraining every five years, in order to keep their entitlement to drive professionally. The Directive also gives details of a new initial training regime that new drivers must go through before they can drive professionally for the first time. This will have a major impact on driver testing, as the existing driving tests will be modified and lengthened to adapt to these requirements. The Directive will come into force across all EU Member States in 2008 for bus drivers, and 2009 for lorry drivers. The legislation for these requirements…

    This was something that poped into my head whilst on the road. Its primarily aimed at the 'Squires Crew' but its just a thought at the minute open to comment. I was thinking that we are all over the country, which can be a bit of an issue, like Blackhat and BWJ in that wet cold bit on the top and Merv getting drunk on cheap cider down south. What if, a big if at the moment the YOC did a top to bottom run. The old end to end jobbie. Maybe call it the smokey way down or something. And sorry i don't mean with the big old FJ's etc that could blast it in a day probably. I mean the old smokeys 250's 400's etc like we had at Squires to give it a bit of a spin. Maybe h…

    Well... I thought my bikes Idol was a bit high... sounds around 2-2.3kRPM and from what I understand it should be at 1.2k-1.3k So I began to hunt for my idol screw on the carb... could I find it? Noooooo I even looked to the manual to check I wasn't being a tit... turns out that there is NO idol screw!!! now I have been able to source near enough EVERY part for this bike and I have no friggin idea where to start with this thing... I've googled it but then it struck me that the bike has been heavily modified for off-road / mountain riding in wales! So what if this is a different carb? but on that same note are the idol screws not generally universal? Besid…

    What was the result????? I realise I could wait a couple of weeks and watch endless repeats of the show on Dave, but I really can't be bothered with watching Sir Jeremy Clarkson lord Knobhead of wankersville. In the real world the BMW ought to have spanked the car, but as this is Top gear, my guess is that they fixed the race for the car to just win. Am I right?

    Hello, im karl, i have recently purchased an fzr 600 genesis 1988. 3HH its history as far as i know is, its been sat in a friends garden undercover for the last 7 years. when he last used it, it had a carb problem but it still run, he stoped using it as he needed a car, i managed to get it for a 100quid, but it needs a complete rebuild, i have been told its an american import because its 3HH. I dont know much about bikes at all, so im hoping by posting my rebuild on here i will get plenty of support from people who know there stuff. here are some pics of the bike.

    Hi All, I bought my 99 Fazer FZS 600 about a week ago and will be commuting about 30 miles daily on it - both dry & wet weather. I'm getting her serviced and suspect new tyres are needed due to tread wear. Any suggestions about what I should go for as I'm totally ignorant in this area. I'm also married with 4 hampsters so anything costing more than the price of a kidney is a non starter Cheers .

    Believe it or not, there is some really nice people about. Me and my lad rode down to Poole today (about 65 miles) Fantastic ride down there, fantastic game of football, Poole 1 Chippenham 1. Fantastic ride back to just before Warminster (about 40 miles) Bombing along at 60MPH then entered a 40MPH zone. Then disaster, my son feints on the back of the bike. He's slumped over me with his head resting on my right shoulder, I slowly pull into the side of the road. I'm trying to hold him up and at the same time flag a car down for help. About three cars just go past without stopping, I'm sure they could see whats going on. The only person to stop was a lady on her own …
