    As I say every year, Scott's a great guy and a real biker....though his personal grooming does leave a lot to be desired! And how much longer can the bloody Line Dancing Hillbilly get away with claiming to be younger than me? And how much longer can he deny using hair colourant? He might fool the rest of the Trailer Park....but he's not fooling me! So let's hear it for Scott.....and as a Birthday treat, here's his all time favourite! "But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart I just don't think it'd understand And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo"

    A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year old son. They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks,"What are these, Dad? To which the man matter-of-factly replies, "Those are called condoms, son. Men use them to have safe sex." "Oh I see," replied the boy pensively. "Yes, I've heard of that in health class at school." He looks over the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks, "Why are there 3 in this package? " The dad replies,"Those are for high school boys, ONE for Friday, ONE for Saturday, and ONE for Sunday." "Cool" says the boy. He notices a 6 pack and asks, "Then who are these for?" "Those are for university lads," the dad answers…

    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?

    Been doing them since last Friday going home from work and it's really smooth! I only do them when accelerating hard though, as I tried to do them while going at normal speed and the gears just doesn't want to go in. So if I'm not accelerating hard doing town riding and stuff, then I use the clutch to shift. Also, I've been blipping the throttle when shifting down too, works really well especially when it's wet as it stops your back end from fish tailing when their's too much touque in a lower gear shifting down. Do you guys do this? And is Clutchless upshifts OK for my bike, it seems a lot smoother than shifting up using the clutch.......so I guess it…

    A deal was done today, and the Beemer leaves the building next Wenesday! It's being part exed for a brand new bike. I can't knock the Beemer, it used no oil and never missed a beat. The only minor glitch was the brake problems, and a defective throttle linkage and horn which was replaced today. All FOC. It may have run forever, it may explode tomorrow. Who knows? And once the warranty expires in a few months I'd be footing the bill for potentially very expensive parts, and extortionate BMW labour charges. I'm not going to run that risk, and bearing in mind that I very often end up in totally remote places with no mobile reception....I need to trust it with my l…

  13. Started by Old but not too bold!,

    Hi all! I am wondering whether or not to get an SZR 660. Trouble is I dont know anyone that has one, or of any locally, as a few people that have reviewed and tested these bikes say they are best suited for people of 5 feet 10 inches or less. Is this true? (I am 5'11") It seems to fit my 'perfect bike' criteria(though it probably not perfect), and I am leaning towards getting one. I have yet to see one in the flesh! Help!!! I will sacrifice my too perfect(boring) vfr750 for one, if I can.

  14. 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.

    I've come on here to confess a terrible sin that I am about to commit. I accept that I will be ostracised for this and also that I deserve it. I will shortly be parting company with my R6 and replacing it with a 2006 Kawasaki ZX6R. On the plus side my mate's bought my R6 so at least I know it's going to a good home.

My bike seems to spike/surge when i try to, it seems to me as if its missing but have just had a service and the bike dealer said its common with the R6. The bike is very smooth when accelerating but maintaing a constant is impossible without power surges, any suggestions would be f*@king brilliant!!!
