The Bar

Hi, my names nik and I've recently bought myself a Yamaha xj600s divvy for my first bike. I know its probably not as fancy as some of the other riders on here but I'm happy with it so far so good *touch wood*. I'm not really into driving at break neck speeds, I just like a leisurely ride out and chill out. I used to have a car but thanks to her majesty I totted up some points within the probationary period and she took my car license off me grr lol but I've learned my lesson the hard way so I'm being a good boy from now on. I passed my bike test in dec '07 with only 2 minors which I was well chuffed about. Peed me off with the "U" turn excercise because I knew I could do …

As i am new to this forum i was hoping that someone out there will give me an honest opion on the Thunderace. I want to buy one after riding my brother-in-laws. What should i be looking for on a bike that has done 51000? Honest view please.

Hi All Had my Xj since october and every time it rains the front brakes are crap, takes a good 5 to 8 seconds of pulling hard on the lever to clear the water off then and I now have to virtually ride with them on to keep em working when it rains, looked at the front wheel whilst going along the other day when it was raining and the water was being channelled onto the brake caliper by the mudguard, is this normal, if so is there anything i can do to solve it, get the fright of my life every time i try to use them (quite often on the A2 in rush hour) Rob

Hi since this is my first post thought I would just try get myself known a bit rather than sink into the void of other posts and topics. So just a general hi to everyone and mostly XJ 600 riders because i am one lol

Hello there, Totally new to the biking world, though I have gotten my feet a bit wet. First of all, I go by the name Vitai Slade, so hello to all of you. Second, I currently own a 2001 Yamaha R6 and love it. It is my first bike and already I've had tons of fun. Now I firmly believe that there are two kinds of riders. Those that have dropped their bike, and those that WILL drop their bike. I am of the former group. Thankfully, I have learned my lesson on this used bike. No, no, I wasn't cruising at 90mph down the highway. In fact, I was sitting in a parking spot. YES, a PARKING SPOT. Though embarrassing as it might be, I tell you that I had just performed the dumbest …

Hi All, Yes another Newbie, must be the weather making us all feel like getting back on our bikes (yeah right) I have just got myself a Thundercat after being off of 2wheels for nearly 4 years. Used to own a 2000 R6 but due to getting older and fatter needed a bit more comfort. The bike seams lovely and smooth, obviously not the same to throw around the corners but pretty nice none the less. Anyway lets just keep wishing for some dry days. Keep safe all.

The discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to science. The new element has been tentatively named Governmentium. Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would normally take less than …

Hi Guys - Happy new year to the crew - I've just registered today and need some help - I have a black 2004 R6 with a standard can - My friend recently bought the 2007 R6 (black) and he had the Laser Extreme (GP) can put onto that - The sound was AWESOME!!,, As that can is NOT compatible with my older model, does anyone know of a can that can perhaps match the same quality and levels of sound as the Laser Extreme GP - (PS - i'm not sure if my friend had the baffle removed or not, but sound was truely awesome). Any ideas/help would be much appreciated!... thanks guys
