    I don't usually tell jokes but I heard this one today and thought some of you might like it. Q. Why are John Prescott and an MFI kitchen alike? A. Two screws in the wrong place and the cabinet falls apart. Well, I thought is was funny anyway Andy

    I i like the exhaust i have now with the R1, but im wondering what other options i have for my bike. My g/f who owns a Vstar1100 Custom S.E (04) said my bike sounds like a snowmobile (ouch hurt me, and my bikes feelings) her bike didnt sound so sweet either until she got her aftermarket pipes put on. What could i get to give my bike some growl instead of pur. Although i understand i have a sports bike shes supposed to be quite, and sporty sounding.

    Hi all my first post here so hello to u all:) Ive had my bike 2 years now and i have my first problem with it, When im in 2nd gear and start to open bike up it feels like im missing a few teeth on my sprockets this only happens in 2nd gear so im thinking my gearbox is bust. Does anyone know how much a rebuild costs? or is it worth me trying to find a spare? any help would be great, summer is on the way and i want it sorting out:)

  12. 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

    Dug the red 400D out of the shed this week, replaced manky 110/90/18 metzler and 90/90/18 pirelli phantom with a pair of old stock Battlax BT35,s 110/80/18 and 90/90/18. put some fuel in and took it for a first spin of the year, tyres have transformed what felt like a lumbering oil tanker compared to the 250 on K82,s into a much nimbler bike. cannot thrash it too hard as it only has 160 miles on clock since crank rebuild, but when i opened it up abit it kept dying, ok poodling along but get over 5000 revs for any length of time and down it went, nursed it home, could hear a hissing coming from filler cap, remove cap clear crap from vent, another test ride and well its pr…
