The Bar

Hi, I am very much into cars, never been into bikes. But I've been bitten... I wish to get an unrestricted license & buy a used Yamaha R6. I want to do this yesterday but think it'd be best to wait until early next year to go for the test, get the bike etc. Would I be correct in saying I can go for direct access, do the test in a couple of days (from scratch) and buy the bike... All comments welcome - good or bad. I'm 27, never ridden before :twisted:

can any body tell me the diference between an rd 350lc and an 350ypvs cheers, born again dont know a great deal about the ypvs.

hello all - I was just wandering if I was supposed to introduce myself first, or am I allowed to begin putting up messages straight away

Your advice on the best choice of sticky tryes please..... stock rims but need the stickiest dry road tyres regardless of cost or durability. Thanks - J

Got all sorts of crittical failure messages this morning. You can at least log in and send / receive PM's and even look at the post titles but you can't look at any threads or start any. I hope it's not terminal or likely to take long to fix... J

Anyone got buddies fighting it out in the sandy and sunny insurgent resort of Fallujah ? Well, here's where where they are. Looks better than Birmingham at least :? http://gallery.colofinder.net/iraq-quickbi...ujah_map?full=1

Hi Guys, I haven't been on this forum for a few weeks now, how's everyone? I just been to the NEC Show yesterday and sat on louds of bikes, Had a great day out! (apart from the traffic jams in and around Birmingham!) I've noticed that new sportbikes are getting smaller these days! I sat on the new GSX-R1000 and that bike is small! I got to say, out of all the bike I sat on, the Yamahas were the best. I felt that they had really good build quality and I just felt GOOD on a YAM! I sat on the Honda's and just didn't feel right!? The new Kawasaki ZX-6R was nice but I didn't feel too comfortable on it and I didn't like it's small dials. The Gixxer 60…

I finally got around to watching Fahrenheit 9/11. Deffo very one sided but looking through all of that and having read both his anti-Bushisms, I must say that I am astonished that the USA re-elected GWB. Watching the various news feeds from around the globe it's plain to see that the USA is most probably the most unliked country in the world and that situation seems to be excaserbated by the man at the helm. I really, really hope that at the UK general election, Tony Blair and the Labour party goes down the swannie, the only problem is that the other choices are either lame or have no idea. Jesus Christ, how could John Kerry not win and how could the Americas re…

Final job interview for one of, if not the largest UK advertising mediums. Won't tell u what it is exactly coz I'm nervy as hell, starting to shake ever so gently - been through 2 face to face interviews already and a silly phone interview all with flying colours. Just spent the best part of a week preparing a Power Point presentation for it - something sales reps and ad reps need to do all the time - 'Death By Power Point' but I'm crap at it hence why it's taken soooo looong. It's the biggest job I've ever gone for in my life and man, I am really strung out especially when you consider I haven't done Jack for the last 8 months odd and that crap the other day f…

Hi It is my friend's RZV500. How I see it, it is YZR500. http://homepage3.nifty.com/kevinmagee/DSCFrzv500m.AVI How do you think?

Ahh yes, just got back from a week in Venice. T'was a press trip, full board accomodation for free and in the best hotel on the island - Luna Baglioni. Apparently, Dinero was there the week before - shame as I'm a fan. Got some nice piccies of what I can only describe as one of the nicest and culturally effervescent places I've ever been to. Managed to get some great images of Mont Blanc on the flight over and aa few fantastic images of the sun setting over the wing on the flight back - had to use a polariser to get rid of a lot of the crudd on the window though. Funny thing was that on holiday you usually work out who the locals hate most out of all the tou…

See my last post.

:twisted:

...So as not to inadvertantly hijack another thread (I'm guilty of it too :oops: )....I thought I'd carry on here.... About the only things that fit that bill right now are an EX500 Ninja or an SV650 :? .....oh & of course the new FZ6 Fazer 8) I used to ride this for 13 years, & TBH am missing it quite a bit lately .... Back in the 80's, all the manufacturers had middleweights (pre-600) both in the sportbike & cruiser classes. But now, you're hard-pressed to find any NON full-on 600 sportbikes......closest thing really is the SV650. When I 1st saw the new FZ6, I thought "Thats the ticket I've been waiting for!"......that is until …
