Yeah, I kinda got used to em now, I think they'll stay as they are for now

Yeah she's a sexy little thing, Sophie you say? yeah she's pretty hot too

I saw yr TY down there last night mate, she's a beauty ain't she! There were some other real nice classics too.

There will only ever be one answer to that question regardless of figures....TOO MANY!!!

I'll be down there this eve, I'll keep my eye out for you!

Cheers for the link deenjay No I don't have the TS anymore. She's long since been passed on to another 16yo budding biker as I was. Who I hope learned as many valuable lessons on her as I did lol.

Haha busted you harley lover! what you meant to say was "I've seen the Rocker C, I've seen the Raider, They're both over priced heaps of shit and i won't take either!"

I've been working in New Milton for 6 months now and keep meaning to check this place out but never have Perfect oportunity me thinks

Hi all, I'm looking at a US imported 1995 550 maxim as a project, anyone ever had anything to do with these? anyone know about parts availablity? reliability? etc, etc, etc. Cheers JK

Hehehe i'm sat at work checking all the cars in the company carpark, please god let me find one with no insurance.

Yeah I agree with that and kinda knew that at the time, the only reason I jumped on the Sportster and not the Rocker C is because that was all i'm likely to be able to afford from their catalogue in the near future.

Ah i see, thanks for shedding light on that one for me. They're pretty cool, I think. Pretty cool price too, no wonder your shopping around purplesarah. so how does that work? is it up the gears with your heel and down with your toe? or am i being a bit stooopid cos that would take some getting used to wouldn't it.

Consider that puppy voted for

What are these toe and heel controls you speak of!? lol let me get this straight. the foot boards replace the foot pegs, right? so what controls do they incorperate? does it mean you have like a big foot peadal for brake and gears, bit like a car?

Where did ya get yr motad from Rob? i'm on the lookout for one but want to get the best price, can't really find any under 300quid

Wo Wo Wo Wo Peabody. I resent that! Only Scotland!! what about the land of MY fathers!! WALES now there is a trully great and beautiful nation! OK i've said my piece, you may now continue to insult the ENGLISH

I took an '08 883 Sportster for a test ride the other day, just to see if they are truly the greatest motorcycle. Bollocks are they! It was honestly the most uncomfortable and unpleasant thing I have ever ridden! I was glad to give it back and jump straight back on my Dragstar

Hi Rob When I bought mine the chap in the garage told me the tap settings are; arrow up for "reserve"; arrow forward for "prime"; and arrow down for "main" Now either this guy was talking bollocks or we both have a problem lol I've had the same problem. I have a '97 xj600n and it did exactly the same "no reserve" and i got caught out a few times. I'm in the middle of giving mine a custom respray at the moment, i've had the tank to bits and the fuel tap off to prep it, i thought i would be able to sort the problem out while i was there. to drain the tank i pulled the fuel hose off and set the tap to "prime" so it would drain quicker which worked. as the fuel got really low (into reserve tank as you can see by looking deep into the tank) i set the tap back to "main" and fuel still kept pissing out!! So i guess rob, yours is doing the same as mine and just totally emptying the tank when the tap's set to main. So I'd love to know how it works/what's wrong too.

I've seen the ones your on about, they look awesome. Any idea how much they are? Mine are deffinately too loud to wear my walkman, the girlfriend whines cos she says it distorts her heavy death metal or whatever shite it is she listens to

She's a beaut aint she. I'll post some better pics soon when the sun comes out again (if the sun ever comes out again). It came with a wind shield on it which I wasn't keen on so I wrenched that off straight away. It's in fairly good nick so if anyone's in the market for one of these then feel free to make me an offer. I'm also not keen on the trim around the front mud guard so that may be coming off too if your interested.

Well............... I picked up my new XVS650 DragStar on Good Friday morning and I’ve already covered a few hundred miles. I'm really pleased with her even though she has a few snagging issues, one being that every now and again she loses power from the battery, this is temporarily solved by removing the battery cover and tugging on the negative lead a little bit until power is restored. There are no loose connections so I wondered if just greasing up the terminals might solve this?? Any suggestions? The other problem being that she has aftermarket pipes fitted, they look and sound the tits but Oh My God they are loud!!! Didn’t realise quite how loud until I’d covered some miles and had to stop at Boots to buy some aspirin and a pair of ear plugs. After some investigation I’ve found out they are “Laser” Slash-cut slip on pipes and marked up “not for highway use”. I couldn’t give a flying f**k about the legality of them, I’m sure I can sweet talk plod if needs be. It just bothers me having gone from a nice quiet commuter XJ600 to this roaring Animal that I’m going to struggle to get used to them. Does anyone know if you can muffle these down a bit for the long journeys? All in all! I love this new bike! Even more so after the comment my work mate made “You look like a colourful terminator on that thing” hehehe how cool is that! Check her out!

haha Chill out Peabody, Anyway, from what I can gather mustard gas was actually the doing of a Frenchman. I suppose your guys theory was better "f**k mustard gas, lets just nuke the ba****ds!!"

Great minds think alike! i've just done exactly the same, except gave up my xj600 for a 650dragstar. did you get a good price for your divvy? mine is sitting pretty at tho moment no offers yet.

Haha. Dont worry no chance of that happening. Besides which i've been told that if i do such a thing i'm never to set foot over the bike shops door again

I'm getting my 650DragStar on Fri :D :D Is that yours Goff? That paint job is the tits! did you do it yourself?
