Bump! Still for sale!

Regretfully decided to sell my 2008 FZ6-N in black to fund a business project. The bike is in absolutely immaculate condition with only 1500kms on the clock, not even run in fully yet! I purchased the bike in late August 2008 from Granville Yamaha in Manche, and also had the first service...

Here in France we only have 95 or 98, with Yamaha recommending only 95... I use good brands, and never seem to have any problems with bad fuel.

I am on my 5th now, about to go in for my 6th for my birthday in the middle of November! All of mine in places people can't really see, as they are for me, and not for other people to look at... One on each top of my arm, both Egyptian symbols, one on the base of my back, a Chinese inspired...

From what I have heard, Ghost Rider is alive and well. After he had a family, I believe that he decided to retire while he still could, and no longer makes videos...

Aprilia RSV Mille Well, not 100% sure of the description, although it maybe a bit more truthful than I am willing to admit. Weirdly though, the RSV Mille is one of only 2 or 3 bikes I lust after...

Well, I usually keep my bike locked away for November, December and January, but if the weather is nice, always go out for a quick run... This year here in France things have been colder and wetter than usual for this time of year, and maybe I was a bit late switching to my winter gear... but I...

I agree in part about stopping a chase early to reduce risk to other road users, but where do you draw the line? How do you know if someone is innocent or guilty? 35mph in a 30mph zone? Does this justify getting rammed by a Police Volvo? The Police in the UK at least have a duty of care to...

I am all against treating criminals like victims, and the overbearing nature of the PC culture around the world, but jebsus :eek: In my book, that is assault with intent, assault with intent to kill or cause serious injury. If the rider died, it would have been murder. Lock up the Policeman...

Don't forget a Buff! Buffwear - Multifunctional Headwear Essential in cold weather!

Ok, I am not one for feeding trolls, but here is a sensible and reasonable answer as to my reasons I mod my FZ6 and didn't 'just buy an R6'. I had a straight choice between the 2 bikes when I bought 2 months ago. I went with an FZ6 and have done a few mods... 1. For me, the R6 was too...

Full face lid, and a 'Polar Buff' - No cold chin issues at all! :D Can't recommend Buff enough... Buffwear - Multifunctional Headwear

Lol, they do hold a *lot*. The pic is with them on full expansion, but for 'normal' usage, they are about half as big. I just came back from using them this weekend at their 'normal' size with the rain covers on... it is amazing how much junk you can cart around with you! :D All in all, they...

Hehe, I had that issue for the first 50 miles or so. I kept looking around to see if they were still there! :D The Velcro straps are *very* secure in honesty, and also with the bungees supplied, they never budge. I often forget they are even on there, and always have a little panic after I...

Bought a pair of these last month to replace some race leather Alpinestars ones I use for the summer. I paid 80Euro or so, around $100, and for that price was a little dubious about how they would do; Alpinestars WR-2 Gore-Tex Gloves - KneeDraggers.com Alpinestars WR-2 Gore-Tex Gloves -...

Well, just got back from a weekend away with the g/f on the bike... in the worst weather I have ever ridden in!! 200 miles each way in torrential rain, rivers of water on the road, and 40-50mph crosswinds! I took the advice from people in this thread, looked at the way I was riding, and am...

Thanks for the advice! The oil filter is now marked with a nice cross and photographed... fingers crossed I get a good mechanic! :)

/Raoul Duke "They couldn't stop there, it was bat country"

Well, I have the bike booked in for it's first service. :eek: Gone a little over 1000kms, now at 1150kms, but I'm sure it won't do anything adverse... just wondering, anything I should look out for? Anything I should be aware of with dealers/service this time around? I was going to do the...

I just ordered a new Bagster one... loads of options, really comfy, and very reasonable!
