Velkommen Christian !!! Glad you're enjoying the freedom

Hi Richie Rich .... welcome and enjoy the dirt ..... offroad

Hi Harish - welcome to the club Never seen a FZ16 before and had to google it - it looks good but what do you think of the digital dash ?? Does look a bit out of place ....

You're all as cold as a frozen mackrel lol...... I thought this vid was quite imspiring myself ..... off to watch some Jeremy Kyle now .....

Got it - well done that man , cheers

Just been looking at them online this PM - look just the ticket drewpy - cheers mate

As we're all approaching wooly long-john season and another cold winter, I was just wondering what tips anyone has for keeping their bikes protected from the elements overnight ? My bike sits on the driveway and sadly I don't have a garage (yet) & will have to make do with the driveway for at least this winter. Just worried that the ol' bike covers won't do the trick. Any help (as always) would be much appreciated.

Cheers Vic - is there a business name I should search for ?

Newcastle

Yeah - I agree. It really is for the most part a question of manners. Still - it's hard not to feel like a bit of a pleb when another bikers seems to totally ignore you

Ahhhhh, Grasshopper ......When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave. In the meantime, welcome to YOC !!!!

Well done that man

Cheers

Got the bike back today - restricter fitted - now if I'd ever ridden the bike prior to this (which of course I didn't, as that would be illegal officer) I'd be trying not to get too depressed right now at the distinct lack of acceleration compared to before A top speed of 80-90 doesn't fuss me too much to be honest but it's gone from a bike that just feels like it wants to scream away at the lights to one that accelerates like my granny on her motability scooter on a good day .... with the wind behind her ...... and an empty catheter bag ....... with her dentures out

what are peoples thoughts on MAXXIS tyres - anyone used them before ? The chap servicing my bike has recommended them at a cost of £89 (front tyre only as the rear tyre is ok) Thanks for all the post thus far - really helpful

Thanks for the advice & pics - they look the business. 1 question though - with the centre pad, can you unclip one pannier at a time - say if you wanted to carry it in on a short visit (I visit patients daily in my job) and some soft luggage I've seen looks good but you have to loosen the entire system to take one pannier with you anywhere.

Hoping to do a spot of weekend touring over in Scotland soon on my 99 Fazer FZS 600 Would appreciate any advice / recommendations from anyone with regards to which panniers they would recommend (soft) ...... many thanks in advance to those who take the time to share their know-how ......

Congrats on the CBT keep with the 'can do' attitude and ride safe ......

Cheers 2 Wheels - good advice about the ferry - would never have thought about that. Don't fancy having to throw some glipe overboard for damaging the bike ...

Almost as daft as his hat ...... c'mon village people

Priceless ! As you say, some very strange people about who believe anything. I mean, seriously ..... who'd believe that our government would ever treat criminals harshly As for the rest of the list ..... probably slightly more likely

Great pics . Don't think I've ever seen Larne look so good !!! Can almost see the harbour road where I completed my road test ..... twice . Moving on ...... 2 Wheels - any tips for going over to Scotland for a few days on the bike from N.I ? I'm sorry to say the last time I stayed in Scotland I was about 12 and playing football for the BB. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks.

2 Wheels - thanks for the advice & costing Should manage to hold on to the kidneys at those prices Doing 3000miles on your rear ??? Painful

Mervin - thanks for this pal, much appreciated. Learning daily - slowly slowly catchy monkey
