Hi, Just got back on a bike after 3 yrs after had to part with my last one to make the then wife an ex-wife. Now got a FZ6-S2 and I'm after a set of soft luggage for weekends away.

help! just brought some LED indercators but they have changed the flash rate so they flash really quickly! i've been told that if you put resister in circuit they slow the flash rate so the question is what value resister do i need to put in circuit?

I went out for my first long ride since passing my CBT and getting my bike today and all was going well Till a chuffing white van driver was up my bum so being on a 125 i couldnt leave him so i let him go past and about 300 yards down the road I got skimmed by a empty bottel of coke a cola i think it was the frigin idiot. I saw his arm out the window and the Barsteward threw it out. I couldnt belive it as he knew i was there as he had only just overtaken me. I dread to think what could of happened if it would of hit me. I was doing 50 mph when that bottel whisked by my head. I just wish I had taken his licence number down but guess the police would do nothing anyway. H…

I've really started hitting the weights down the gym and I'm gonna start using creatine again. But I can't remember- how much I should take to load up with at first - how much to take once the loading up period is finished - how long to use it for. Anyone got more of a clue on this than me?

Was up in the Lake District today, 3 up (My other half and Georgie the dog and me), saw loads of bikes around, if you did see us and gave a wave or nod, excellent!!! Anyway we had fun, weather held out for us too, maybe see you up there sometime. Usually park at the marina next to the Pump House when up that way. P

Hello All. I am planning a move to Derbyshire within the next couple of months and was wandering if there was any biking clubs or regular get together's organised by people on here? I know there is normally a bike meet at Matlock on a Saturday and Sunday, but is there anyone on here who fancies a ride around the Dales? Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi there everyone, Looking for a bit of advice. Just come back from a trip to germany and my Soft panniers have marked my bike, despite my best intent. Would T-cut be my best option or can anyone recommend anything else. There quite light scuffs but noticeable. Many thanks

Hello all, I am joining this forum to hopefully get some information about R6's, what is best for them and hints a tips on anything from general up-keep, to best parts and servicing centres. I don't even have a bike or a bike license yet But, I am doing my theory soon (hopefully) and doing my DAS on or around Spring 2009. Anyway, my first bike (and this might be a bad idea) will hopefully be a '08 R6. The reason for this choice of bike is I intend to tour Europe with some friends I have that already have bikes, but, I want a bike that’s fun when I am at home too. Cheers for all the help you guys (and gals) can offer
