Hi folks just joined and though that I would spread the word about winter riding, . . . . wet roads and DIESEL do not mix, in case you did not know!!!! Managed to high side my Divi at fairly low speed on some diesel left by taxi cabs turning at a rank. Luckily only bent tha bars and smashed an indicator, main cost was a new helmet, as the last thing I saw was the roof of a parked car before hitting the street. . . . . . . live and learn.. live and learn.

Hi back :!: Had great time down in Cornwall only to find it had happenned again. Good job we were away. I was lucky the bike wasn`t touched aswell. It happenned last weekend [27th] and wrote off 3 more cars. That now makes 9 accidents in 15 years. We were lucky that we were down in Cornwall on hols. Otherwise the Cooper s would have been written off as well. I was lucky the bike wasn`t touched aswell. As the next door neighbours car was turened over this time. Some thing has to be done. Well we`ve made the decision we got to move as soon as the house is ready were off :!:

So my mate, being short of leg*, a custom fanatic and the knd of person who never learns by experience, has bought yet another Baby Viagra (K reg, low mileage). Being the nervous type, he is already talking about completely dismantling the thng to cure a miniscule oil weep from the clutch actuator rod. "Good grief, man!" I told him, "My TRX's chain drips more oil than that." I must admit he looked a fine sight thundering the mighty Vee-twin back from the vendor's house, wallowing majestically round curves on tyres that turned out to be inflated to a piffling 20 PSI. No sooner had he got it to his garage than he began wittering on about having to replace some of the bits …

came off the gsxr last night late at night going home from my gf's. back end went, then caught and flung me off. tried to save it but it just went round way too far. knee's a bit of a mess as is my hand and my right thigh the gsxr's not too pretty either! thats the first time i've ever came off on the hard stuff, not nice. and the noise the gixxer made going down the road was horrible. off my work now till i can get my knee to bend properly again. feel fooking stupid, i knew it was icy guess i'll have to street fighter my bike unless i can get panels for the fairing. vikki's pissed off with me, as is my dad understandably so looks like i fooked up a bit

yet again yamaha has come up with a new idea likely to be a hit in future- the fly by wire throttle- the all new motor is fed with fuel by the revolutionary YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) system. YCC-T is effectively a “fly-by-wire” intelligent injection/throttle control which enhances the power delivery of the machine and reduces fuel lag. you've got to hand it to yamaha,they've came out with some of the best inventions in motorbiking eg deltabox,exup,ypvs,monoshock,2 wheel drive(well maybe not best or widely used but different),5 valves per cylinder etc anyone think of any others?
