I have this, got it on the 23rd of June. Luckily got a dual pack, as the first unit has a faulty battery (2-3hrs even on standby) I'm in the middle of replacing... the second unit is yet to require a charge after about a week and a half, bout half hour each way to work, 5 days a week, bluetooth...

So can you post a pic all the way up until voting is enabled? I know where I want to go but can't get out there for another few days...
I whacked a set of Angel GT's on the FZ6N a month or 2 back, am incredibly happy with the wet traction. Before the change was quite slippery when wet, to the point of trying to stay vertical in roundabouts (no idea on age of old tires, still above wear line but starting to flatten off), but with...
In the same week Filtering was legalised in NSW, WA announced an increase in a lot of penalties across the board, not that I'm complaining about it, I think it will be good to help "educate" some of the drivers on mobile phones, penalty rising from $250 to $400, points staying the same.
The...
We don't get the temp extremes of you guys over here, but the odd 1 degree c days (I think thats around 35ish F) have forced my hand ( ;) ) into a pair of Five HG-1 gloves. Battery powered heat :D Couldn't be happier
Did he say no in a text message? Keep the history...
Write it all down with dates and file it all away, as others have said, just to cover yourself as best you can. At least it shows diligence after you found out the correct process.
I have only just deleted the history from the guy who...
I finally had my dented tank fixed. $700 :( (mine was from falling off though, not the stands fault...)
Couldn't find a good condition black one, new ones don't come black...
I have no doubt Vegasrider is capable of handling any condition in the correct manner, there will always be times in these types of conditions when it is simply not an option to stay up, no matter how good we think we are, and this is what we need to remember when choosing to head out in these...
In Australia the 6R is a learner approved bike. That is, no more than 660cc with a power to weight ratio of no more than 150KW/T. That power to weight actually has 90kg added to the bikes dry weight to account for rider, gear and fluids (funnily enough the electric bikes get the same 90kgs, and...
Soon after getting my unrestricted license I crashed my ride...
I was very used to a 250, here in Western Australia we used to have to learn to get a license on no more than 250, then be stuck on that for a year before you could "unrestrict" your license by re taking the test on an appropriate...
So I read that post "thaguymike" linked, was really informative. Let me know of some methods thieves use and what not to rely on...
So funny story, Perth is the bike theft capital of Aus... it's been posted before but something along the lines of under half the population of the big cities...
They are not far off becoming the best full stop. Give me the cash and I'm sold:

Trouble for the...
I don't really know how they can fix the inattention issue. I've had drivers in the lane beside me (I scoot up as much as traffic allows, so I'm never in their blind spot), they check the mirror, which I'm kinda beside, head check (surprising I know) basically looking me in the eye, then proceed...
This is something I have thought about a few times while commuting in the 5k range steadily. (There's one small stretch of highway I am able to red line so I think my engine is getting it's rev requirements ;) )
If there are any mechanics still reading this thread, I would like an educated...
Another vote for Pirelli Angel GT's. Fitted last Saturday. Got about 160km's on them before the rains started, so still taking it a bit easy but they feel nice already.
Went over a big bit of bark (debris from storms all over the road this morning :( ) just taking off from some lights...
I have found I prefer the sound under load when it has 95. I tried a few tanks of 98 but it put me off a little every time. I have only put 1 tank of regular through and I didn't like it at all.
The grey line is where I changed to a +1 front sprocket. manually adjusted to mitigate the 16 vs...
