    Just got my first sport bike 88 FZ 750 today actually. Haven't had a bike in years I'm definatly going to need some help as the bike has been sitting for 3 yrs. and when it was stored it fell off the trailer and did some front faring damage. Any way when I get a chance I'll post some pics. From what I was told it is a rare find since it is the blue/white/yellow stripe color scheme. I don't know about that I'm just glad to have it!

    Doesn't look like this one has been played here before, so.... First poster names a movie title. Second poster names a movie that shares a word from the first movie. Third poster names a movie that shares a word from the second movie. And so on... So: Star Wars Starman Man On Fire Reign Of Fire Make sense? Please try and keep posts to just the following title, rather than pages of commentary on whether or not such-and-such was a good film. OK, starting with: The Neverending Story...

    Hello all, First of all I wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Mario is the name and I am a proud owner of an 2008 MT-03. This is my first "large" bike and my bike before that was an Yamaha XT125 which got stolen unfortunately. I love riding but with lovely weather lately I was unable to take the bike for a spin for long time. Of course my battery died and after hours of frustration as the battery is under the petrol tank I got the bike working last night. I had a big smile on my face riding it for 30 minutes although some issues did appear: 1. Burning smell (I presume is safe but you never know) 2. My Oxford heated grips switched on and then died and t…
