The "Off Topic" thread...

[Shinleung]

I am not sure if this is an appropriate place to ask this:
I have been fishing for 2.5 hrs and I've got like 5~6 of this fish.
Just wondering what kinda of fish is that?

Thank you.

And i have no idea what sorta fish that is!

Good luck! Happy fishing!

I'll vouch for the Oxford Heated grips too. Was 0.4 degrees on Tuesday whilst riding to work at 5:30 am, only had the grips on 75% heat, and felt great when I got there. The tips of my fingers were a bit cold, but I just grabbed the grips when I got there (after removing gloves), and they were toasty in no time.

Mates couldn't believe I rode in that day, they all came in shivering... Suckers, getting out of their heated cars into the freezing cold just makes it feel colder... :rof:

As for gloves, I picked up a pair at the Melbourne Markets a couple of years ago. They have 3M Thinsulate and a wiper-blade on the left pointy finger. Unsure of the brand... Has "Black Rose" embroidered on the gauntlet. They're pretty good, but getting old now, so might have a look at the Alpine Stars. Do they have the "wiper-blade"???

:rockon:

My Nordics have a little wiper blade too :thumbup:

Mike changed the front and rear on his XJR today - he said the changes have made the bike "manic". His took a lot longer - Hydraulic clutch - but was still easy. Didn't have to drain clutch fluid or anything. Went -1 front, +1 rear. Also put a new DID chain on, x-ring. 32000 kms from the original chain and sprockets. In reality, could have done another 15000 kms. He wanted a new bike, without actually buying one, therefore new bars, pipe and gearing change - it's a different ride.

We are pretty happy today

Roll on Saturday.

I think a full & comprehensive review is in order Mike

That would be a nice little soapy or better known as a Jewfish :thumbup:... Keep fishing mate , his BIG brother is still out there :drool: :drool:

Where did you get it ??

Hmmm well my bike has done about 630km total, so many things to do !! Looks like I will ask for a sprocket change on my first service as well ;P

Thanks for the explanation Cam Sounds great, I would love to know when people started upgrading there bikes Will get the Ohlins installed when I get the first service done .... That is going to be a interesting service ! (Oh most driving seems to be the freeway for me ATM:/)

I started planning my mods a few weeks before my bike arrived, thanks to this forum. Had the sprocket, my grips, carbon fender extender and FZ1 bars before I got the bike, and within the first month had everything on or at least ordered

Bit of tinkering with the suspension as I rode it as well.....(and that's the last thing I still need to sort).

Well, I think Mike and I have finally lost it (our minds that is...)

We've spent close to 5 hours today clearing out one of the spare rooms and turning it into a GYM!....

We bought a home gym and a cross trainer today. Took us a while to put it all together. We now have the home gym with 50kg weights, cross trainer, mini-trampoline, treadmill, punchbag and various other torture instruments.

We even did it through both the Wales v All Blacks and Wallabies v England rugby games (didn't miss much did we :shakehead:......)

Now, all we have to do tonight is finish all the beer, bourbon and vodka so we can start fresh with our health kick tomorrow :iconbeer: :cheer:

Lincoln, just my opinion, but I think your bike would look awesome with a Yami screen, like mine.....

I love it when you get new stuff for the house....as for a Gym, would never likely use it! But i am getting a new 8 seater dining room setting, matching TV unit, coffee table, and hall table this week.... $6000 worth, for just over $2000....got a killer deal through the missus and her job as a salesperson at Radio Rentals!

Enjoy your drinks Kazza!

:thumbup:

Cool - love new furniture.

As for the gym set up, Mike's already said "not on the weekends"..... I'll use it on the weekend though. I'll get up tomorrow morning (hopefully morning, I have had a few vodka red bulls though.....), plug in the ipod, open the blind and look at the beautiful view... then work my arse off

By the time I've finished, my barista should have made me a nice coffee :thumbup:

Hey Kazza are your headers still as golden as they are in that picture, mine have gone mainly blue/black and no amount of hard work is cleaning them up!

Get a powerdrill, a Mothers "Powerball" i think they are called, and some of the same brands polish that they recommend to use the powerball with, and they will come up pretty well...trust me, i just found out about this thing a couple of months back, has revoltuinised cleaning & polishing the header pipes...

Is also brilliant for polishing chrome, or polished wheels....


Mothers® PowerBall Mini®

:thumbup:

And by the way, that ball is made of foam, so no scratching!!! And it doesnt fall apart after a few uses...

:Flash:

 

[Kazza]

They are a little dirty - just need a good clean. Mike?......

I am thinking of doing something with them - ceramic coating maybe? They would look great if they were black...... hmmmmm

Yeah, ceramic coating them black would keep maintenance to about zero...just a quick wipe every now and then, after a ride in the rain...

The Silver Ceramic coating on my touring FZ6 is holding up pretty well too.
