George Bush has a heart attack and dies. He goes to hell where the Devil is waiting for him. "I don't know what to do," says the Devil, "You're on my list but I have no room for you, but you definitely have to stay here. So, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got 3 people here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of >them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves." George thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed. The devil opened the first room. In it was Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. He kept resurfacing over and over and over, gasping for air.

Recently bought the above, with which I am very pleased, slowed me down somwhat, my other bikes an Aprilia, is there another owner out there, Gloucestershire perhaps we could have a pint. The local Harley group is having an event we could go and piss the H.O.G.s off! Sounds better, made better,handles better and brakes!! Which makes a point, Yam Mt01 looks good,sounds good,90bhp, 85 at 3000R.P.M, handles reasonably, bit heavy, great for short blasts/thunder in the sun.

Just joined the board. I bought an '07 Stratoliner 1900 about a month ago. I've got about 1500 miles on it already. I really love this bike. Any other Yamaha riders in the vicinity of Deming, NM ?

Hi all. Just a quick chat really, very busy like most. Im new to Yamahas, Ive had mine, a 2003 xj900 divvy since end of june 07. Shes been pretty reliable with just a faulty throttle sensor switch over the past 27000 miles, yes I did say 27000 miles.I bought her for the job and shes done me proud, I got 19000 miles out of a front tire! Avon storm st. Ive been to the four corners of the country and on some occasions been to 2 in the same day. The only issues I have with her is the top heavyness of her and the sloppy forks on country lanes. Apart from that A grand bike with reliability and capacity to carry. Does any one have any tips for this bike? All are welcome.

HI, I am thinking about buying a Yamaha FZ6 05 plate bike, and was wondering how easy they are to self-service please? Any info, hints and tips from those who have serviced this bike themselves would be appreciated.

Yippee, passed ma theory this morning I was well chuffed as I got 50/50 for the multi "guess" bit and 58/75 for the hazard perception. I've booked my A2 practical but jangling nerves mean I'm keeping the date to myself (sorry!). I had my first go at u-turns during my lesson yesterday, did some fairly good and some bloomin awful so loads of practice now required. Cheers. Amanda

Hello All, Just thought i'd introduce myself! Names Anthony and i have my A1 booked in for Halloween! Passed my theory over the weekend & brought myself an R6. Me and my mate (Thundercat) are looking at going on a biking trip around Ireland next year, has anyone got any ideas on good roads? Hopefully going to end up taking a ferry from Dublin to Isle of Man and have a blast on the TT track! Safe riding all!
