    i'm an dept head greenkeeper at a local golf course. been doing that since i was 17(i'm 23 now). worked in a paint shop for a summer when 16, worked in a garage for a short time between 16/17. crap money so i left. in my spare time i go running/swimming, sea kayaking in summer(along with camping trips), riding/building bikes, watching bike racing, fishing an odd time, very into music eg the who, the jam, stone roses, ac/dc. arctic monkeys, oasis etc.

    i hope not tom, all these things are good but too much of a good thing ruins the basics that attracted you to bikes in the first place if you know what i mean. eg my vfr was an awsome bike, comfy, reliable, loads of easy power handling and brakes. but it wasnt what i love about bikes. the old gsxr is more my thing. harsh, handling thats not so forgiving, power that you have to work for etc

    they could stop developing bikes right now, or even ten years ago!... and we'd all be more than happy with what's availabe to us

    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?

    my turn!

    i wouldnt expect anything less mozzy :lol:

    scott, yeah i've learned. had a terrible nights sleep, getting up for painkillers most of the time :rolleyes: my dad says although its bad its happened, its also good in a way as it's taught me i'm not invincible on a bike. when you've never came off on the road you dont really think you're gonna. i just got too smart and hit the deck! the bike's over at vikki's still, i've already bought the parts to get it streetfightered till i can get new fairing panels. one thing that pisses me off is the lever for the hydraulic clutch broke off at the boss meaning i need whole new part not just lever. why suzuki couldnt stick a cable clutch on them i dont know :rolleyes: one good thing is gsxr's are everywhere in breakers! another up note is my dad's gave me the honda rs250 to keep again and my mums gave me her car(she doesnt want me on a bike till weather's improved but screw that!) it's a fiesta so me and mozzy can compare notes! B):lol:
