Just bought a 2003 R6 with Meta M357 alarm on it. Problem I have found is switching hazard lights on. I have the instructions and it says how to do it using the alarm keyfob when parked up but once bike is running can't seem to get them to work, say if it broke down and going to cost to a stop couldn't switch them on to warn people. Is this normal with this alarm? Thanks

Thinking bout getting one for my R6 but not sure whether to get an end can or full system. Does the full system really make that big a difference?? And what is involved?

Hi,all I'm Rex,come from Taiwan. We have ridden superbike(up 251c.c) from 2002 in Taiwan. Because Taiwan government also allow us starting to import superbikes from abroad in 2002. We were riding superbike that was illegal before 2002. because of the license plate. Some Taiwanese said"riding superbike in Taiwan is luxurious!" It meant we usually must pay more a lot of money to buy them than the other countries of riders. Our government take us tax too much!I thought it. anyway,we can finally ride superbikes on road abovebord now. we can ride on two way of express way in Taiwan as well. Our goal could ride on freeway in the future! I'm thinking all are …

Jsu taken delivery of a brand new FZS, first bike in 25 years! Absolutely awesome - BUT. I am 6' 3" and am surprise by the buffeting from the wind at anything over 80. Anyone tried an alternative to the standard screen and if so what do you think of it? I notice there is a factory aftermarket screen with the curvy top (whats the proper name for it) does it do the biz as far as wind is concerned?

on’t throw away those large plastic beer and cider bottles. Drink the contents first. Collect plastic packaging and empty plastic food containers, and store them until you have enough for one large bonfire. Having several small bonfires is inefficient. Pick a day for your bonfire when there is a stiff breeze. This way, all the little burning smuts of plastic and the choking fumes will be carried away from your garden. Think about cycling instead of driving for a second. A second is plenty long enough. Vegetables are a good source of vitamins, minerals and fibre, so eating them is recommended. Eating vegetables needn’t be expensive. Steal next-door’s potato peelin…

Back in the days of steam locomotives, the engineer was the prince of the engine and made a princely wage; and the fireman who broke his back shovelling coal into the firebox was down at the bottom of the pecking order, and was paid as such. On one particular engine that pulled the daily local freight train, the engineer was forever bumming a chaw of chewing tobacco from the fireman. Every day, after they had cleared the yards and had a good head of steam, the fireman would lean on his shovel, mop his brow and take a wad from his pack of "Red Man", whereupon the engineer would say, "Hey, let me have a dip." The fireman conspired to put an end to this: He arranged to have …

Curtain Rods He spent the first day sadly packing his belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. On the second day, He had the movers come and collect his things. On the third day, He sat down on the floor in the dining room by candlelight, put on some background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay. When He had finished, He went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp and caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. He replaced the endcaps on the curtain rods, cleaned up the kitchen, and left. When the Wife returned with her new boylfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slo…
