Hi everyone. My first log-in and first post. I have just come away from a dealer who has offered me a brand new 09 FZ1 Fazer (1000cc) non-ABS for £7525 OTR with 36 months interest free credit. The bike is a UK bike and I can have a choice of red or blue. Question: Is this a good deal, or what? I look to you guys, the experts, to give me some steer here. if it is a good deal, what is the preferred colour amongst the Fazer community? Many thanks in advance Gary

Hi all, I'm still very much of a newby here and still finding my way round ... so forgive if this is posted in the wrong place ... I have a 91 XJ900F and the rear shockers are pooped... so need to find some replacements. Does anyone know if shox from any other bike will fit? Just been offered a set of used 330mm Hagons at a very attractive price .. these are longer than stock ... will they fit? Will raising the back totally wreck the handling or help it? If these are no good, can you suggest anything else .... I'm on a tight budget ... so nothing exotic please Your knowledge and help would be appreciated... Fanks, shakey

Oh dear! Next week I am having to go to do a proper job for the next few Months. I have spent the last 8ish years working for myself on various contracts but the latest one means that I will be employed until 2011. No more working from home for a while, I will have to get up and dressed in the dark, a morning commute to Nottingham, having to put on a suit, shirt and tie. Oh dear!

Just wondering here, with the amount of people who come on with the same question, "IE I have a DT 125 and want to make it go faster." Considering the frequency of the question would it not be worthwhile to have a sticky in the off road section that gives the folks some RELIABLE info, maybe a few web sites like DT.com or whatever its called.

Some real advice for people. I would have thought its a pretty pro forma method to tune up a healthy DT, you know, standard methods for removing …
