Thanks for the advice - i'll take it down to my local dealer next weekend (assuming I can get my hand in my glove by then!)

Had my first spill in 10 years of riding this evening - must have hit some black ice or diesel and the bike went straight out from under me. Luckily as I had just passed a GATSO I was still doing only 30mph. Worst thing was watching my pride and joy scrape 40m down the road with sparks flying...

I used alcohol - the stronger the better. Any perfume/cologne (and makes your bike smell good for a while!). If you can buy rubbing alcohol that would also work as would methylated spirits - although that smells bad. Theoretically Smirnoff would work too, but I'm not wasting it for such a...

As it's coming up for winter (sorry for the downer) I'd like to fit a small fairing to my white naked FZ6. I like the look of the TCP one (TCP aerodynamics) and was wondering whether anyone had any experience with one. Specifically, how are they to live with and are they easy to fit? My...

Thanks for the video zealous - it did make me laugh. To echo the sentiment of your second point, and highlighted so many times in the video, it's not always your riding that gets you into trouble.

Great article - very thought provoking. I'm 41 years old and have been riding for 10 years. I just bought a FZ6, which is my 4th bike. Because of a daily commute into London I've been riding a Honda Transalp for the past 3 years and wanted/needed a change because I had outgrown the bike. I...

I think I just wet myself laughing!!!

Marke - Great job, thx 4 pix

This is my first post so be gentle! I collect my white FZ6 tomorrow and am planning the following this weekend: S/S brake lines Clear indicators (smaller arrow shape) Crash bungs TCP flyscreen Medium term I would like to do the following: Powder coat wheels red centres fading out...
