    Deer crossing a track: wrong place at the wrong time

    Do you think the second guy was still on his bike after he hit the deer? It looks to me like he was thrown off because of the way the bike keeps rolling and once back on the tarmac doesn't start braking. Also look at the damage to right side of windshield, like he hit it as he came off! Dunno...

At first I thought it sounded naff but it was quite nice at high revs. Do a search on youtube for "FZ6 drilled exhaust", you'll get lots of results so you can have a...

    60mpg.. Above Average??

    This is exactly how I rode my every day commute apart from cruising at 68mph. Got over 60mpg plenty of times but cannot emphasise how gently I was riding. On average got high 50's.

    What the fcuk is wrong with people!

    Sorry VJ, didn't mean to come across so totally anti car. I too am forced to drive one occasionally, against my will. I agree with what you say and make every effort to drive as safely as possible and I am courteous to other drivers, although I sometimes wonder why! Maybe all drivers should be...

    What the fcuk is wrong with people!

    Thanks for all your kind words guys. I was a bit het up when I posted, but understandable I think. Dad got away with no breaks although he has a lot of bruisin and swelling, luckily he landed on the grass after being launched off the back of the bike. He's more gutted about the bike. It was a...

    Puting out the feelers on breaking...

    Hi all, As some of you may know, I was rear end shunted off my 2009 FZ6 S2 a few weeks ago. Well, the bike has been written off and valued at £4465, slightly low due to the high (14,000) mileage... I have been offered salvage based on 10% of the book value, so £450ish. What I want to know...
