    WSBK-Rd6-South Africa - Qualifying...

    Thought I'll share... Me and wifey went to the WSBK today - my first time. I had a ball!!! Took allot of photos. I don't have a SLR yet - Nikon D300s in the near future - enough about that - check out my photo with a normal digital camera - most of them was so fast I missed them totally, but...

    Bit by the motorcycle bug... Advice for a new rider!

    First WELCOME to the BEST forum ever! These people knows what they talk about - not me I have not ride for years, still rookie. Just had to add my experience. I had a Suzuki Quad ATV LTZ 400 for 2 years and then it got stolen. I saw that I can handle not being a hooligan in the gang -...

    New bike

    Congratz on the new bike, glad you're okay. I like black and yellow on bikes - if it is nicely done - and that one looks GREAT!

    What is this?

    Yip, S2. Mine was standard on the 2008 model - I'm in South Africa, not sure which bikes we get.

    FZ1 or Triumph Tiger or KTM SM T

    Thanks for all the opinions, its appreciated. I believe: To keep the bike thing big in the family is to keep my wife interested. Her own branded gear, her comfort and say and make time to take her on rides. She says its my choice in the end but you know woman... Maybe I must start selling the...

    FZ1 or Triumph Tiger or KTM SM T

    Choices, choices, choices... :confused: My heart says FZ1 (d@mn I've been dreaming of one for months), The KTM is just to bad-@ss to ignore (and reviews is great). I thought I will get biased Yamaha feedback but the Triumph Tiger got recommended the most - for what I want to do. Thanx...

    FZ1 or Triumph Tiger or KTM SM T

    Mainly commuting, but my wife like riding with me. We will definitely do some touring. In South Africa we have beautiful places to ride. We have many dirt roads going places normal people don't see often as well. That is why there is so many BMW GS's sold in South Africa. The Triumph and KTM...

    FZ1 or Triumph Tiger or KTM SM T

    Please bare with me - I'm frequenting all FZx-Forums and would post this on each one of them because I'll get a variety of opinions. I've been here frequently for the past year and half. After I sold my 2008 FZ6 S2 (which I loved) last year I was bike-less for almost year. I was waiting and...

    Most ridiculous cute pet pic contest

    My wife's cat, Monsheri, when he was little. A $1 cat, more saved from the pet shop, turns out to have a great personality - should have been a dog...

    Yamaha VMAX

    I love them, will never buy one. You can't compare it to super bikes :eek: Its a type of drag bike built for awesome acceleration. The red just looks bad. I heard of one in South Africa with a supercharger,:jawdrop: WTF!

    Most ridiculous cute pet pic contest

    You all have some awesome pets! My sister went on holiday and I'm baby sitting her Jack Russell (9mnths) and Rottweiler (1yr) for a week. The Golden Retriever (4mnths) is my other sister's, which she is fed up with - I took her in for 'rehab', she'll go back in a month or two. The Labrador...

    Which one would you buy?

    I agree you'll be happy with pre 2007 as well, the FZ6 is just great. I only said 2007+ because there were upgrades and the 2007+ prices would be better by now. I had the 2008 S2. There are members here that will be able to give you much more information on the differences than I could. Here...

    Which one would you buy?

    I think everybody said what I'm going to say as well... If the FZ6 was a 2007 I think it will be your best bet. With that said: I had a LTZ 400 quad for 2 years before I felt the same as you. Getting to spots to ride when I could ride everyday. I had a 2008 FZ6 for 6 months, had to part from...

    What gear do you honestly use?

    Helmet gloves jacket boots> I need to get some riding pants and some nice reinforced jeans, you get some nice ones lately, although pricey. That said, occasionally (not the norm) I only where helmet and gloves on slow cruising with my wife when it is extremely hot, 30C (86f), on a weekend...
