Fat tyres???
So am i right in thinking that doesn't neccessarily mean that the tyre on the rim is the widest possible for that sized rim?

Fat tyres???
Hi Everyone, Hope you are all well. Now this may seem like a silly question, but it's something i've never had to deal with before. Can you vary the size of your tyres from the manufacturers recomended? i.e. I have a skinny rear tyre on an xj600 and want a fat one Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers JK

Born again biker looking at a XJ
Hey daz I had one of these as a first big bike, '98 xj600n. was a really good bike, mechanicaly bullet proof. not the best looks or the fastest machine on earth but plenty fast enough for someone just starting out. the only thing i would say to you when buying one is check out the link between downpipe and silencer, if thats going rotten walk away. your looking atleast £300 to replace or a shed load of bodge welding. hope that helps JK

Insurance for New Riders
Blimey, I thought a grand to insure an R1 was bad, but 3500 for a zx6-r!!! thats insane (4 naans!!) I don't think there is much you can do about it other than phone around. give Adrian Flux a try http://www.adrianflux.co.uk/motorbikes-detail-go.php but watch out with these guys, any changes or cancellations and they WILL sting you for it!

My New 650 DragStar - VERY LOUD - too loud????
Haha all the best things come from Wales!!!! AAAARRRGGGHHHHHHH This makes me so fucking angry!!!!!!! having a black and white number plate is sssooooo dangerous eh!?! While some jargon spouting prick was giving you that ticket some low life scum of the earth was probably stabbing some poor kid to death cos he wouldn't give up his lunch money! and there wouldn't be a copper in sight to stop that. Seriously! if you saw half as many police walking the streets as as you do pestering motorists then we'd be in a far better state. I was driving through christchurch the other day in a 30 limit when some moron in his psychedelic spaz wagon overtook me doing AT LEAST 40!! only to stop at flaming tesco!!! I pulled over to see what he was doing and he was buying his sodding lunch!! AAAGGGGGHHHHHH I was so angry I almost started knawing at the steering wheel!

good sites for xvs650 customising / modifying
haha nothing meant by that mate, that was one of three I found when I was buying mine. I've only had mine 6 weeks or so. I'm suprised we can't hear each other then, mine has a bit of a bark to it.

Ha, I'm about 10 doors away from the richmond arms, just up Richmond Pk Rd. Small world eh! Glad you got a good deal on yr bike, it wasn't the orange/black one I saw there a while back was it? Oh god what does he want one of those for? does he want the leather tassels and chaps to go with it? Yeah jap cruisers are much better! Either the Dragstar or the Intruder are my personal fav's. I sure will be down there next week, if it's anything like last night then best make it there early!!

Newbie, and with a dilemma
Get the Dragstar!!! Bigger, Wider, Sleeker, Lower and much much Cooler! My other half has the virago and I have a dragstar. wouldn't swap in a million years!

saddlebags
I thought that the vstar was just the american version of the dragstar and that they were both the same thing. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
