    Great to see Nitro Nori back in the hunt for some WSB points with a podium finish in the 2nd race @ Silverstone today! Pulled off a 4th in the 1st race due to a fuel delivery prob.........but got the holeshot in the 2nd race & ended up getting a 3rd when the checkers came out Also interesting to see the Ducati boyz give Corser some grief @ the front too.

    Recently bought a lovely XS 850 and everything in the garden was sweetness and light until all the indicators packed in last weekend. No problem it's the fuse I hear you say. Sorry no. A bulb had blown so I thought the flasher unit had bit the dust as a result. Where is the f***ing thing. Found the cancelling unit and loads of other stuff but no relay/flasher unit. Please help a poor demented old soul..

I have imported cars & bikes in the past with no probs, but now the powers 2 b, want 2 know what tooth paste u use! so if any one has a uk reg fz6 or knows the specs for the v55/5 it would be appreciated! i get the impression that the local yam dealers arnt interested as they clas it as grey.

    I woke up this morning (always a bonus at my time of life), got the paper off the porch, made coffee, and sat down for a read. Turned to the classifieds, then went out and bought a 1985 XJ900! I wasn't planning anything beyond another cup of coffee! I only have two excuses: 1. I have never seen an old bike in such perfect condition. and 2. It's my 60th birthday soon. Oh, OK, and 3. I was bored.
