It's got something to do with that big old yellow thing in the sky and as much as we try there is no controlling that. Just a case of holding on for the ride. That said it does pay to keep an eye on our resources; for that I will use my bike at the week end instead of the car.

Yep I know the whole "what oil do I use" has been flogged to death and there are links to which to use where and why. But reading through them there are a lot of names I don't know and advise from people riding in different conditions. So my question is to any UK based bikers what oil do you...

For mountain bike grips I used water. Just wet the bar and inside grip, slid on, water evaporates, go ride.

I was really impressed by the first one, think it was that shock factor and the fact it was the beginnig of a new trend in survival horror films. The second was ok, the third, once again when I watched it ok. My missus loved them all and bought each one but now I can not even sit and watch...

I have noticed a slight buzz through the pegs at some engine speeds, but more when engine cold. Apart from that nothing major to report.

I don't care about figures or the possibility of it remaining on a drawing board; I would buy that. If only to ride it round town and see the look on peoples faces

It has been a while since I've posted or shown my face around here, not through choice just been snowed under. Anyway I thought I'd give you a low down on my first 'real' outing on the FZ6. Last week I'd clocked up 570 miles and the bike went in for the standard first service. Since then I...

My 2007 has the helmet lock thing but I can not see me using it anytime soon, the dealer really put me off it. He claimed that during a visit to Donnington to watch the superbikes he noticed a bike with the helmet lock being used as described in the manual, only to find another biker using the...

sorry no inter-web-net yesterday, but milage 445

Normal: Guess so Concerned when I first noticed it: Oh Yes!

how good are those rain repellant products? have been thinking about putting a layer on my visor

303 miles as of this morning

Moving and well worth the viewing. Not sure it was the best pre-ride material, get the feeling I just want to sit in the garden today.

I've not quite been visited by the mod fairies yet but I have been looking at different exhausts and wondered about the choice in material. So I can see three different type available; aluminium, carbon fibre and titanium. I can understand the price difference; alu being the cheaper but what...

Thanks for the replies, did not mean this to turn into a 'who has a pipe' contest ;) Having spoken to another biker he thought the same as most; don't worry. Engine warms up on way into work, then sits there cooling down and in the afternoon the sun comes round and will heat up the tank again...
