    Suzuki B King what do you guys think?

    Hi, Not sure about the States, but here 2nd hand V-max is almost 3x the price (autotrader)... So unless money is no object, can't really compare the two. I was considering trading up to it, but lack of fairing and screen puts me off. I am sure there are after market options, but then it...

    What car(s) do you have/drive?

    Haha, slight disparity don't you find? :) I mean, I have the little car, but I have the bike, you got the best of both! Good job!

    What car(s) do you have/drive?

    This makes very interesting reading. Here in UK you do not get so many pick-ups or SUVs. Even though I count myself quite knowledgeable about cars, had to wikipedia some posts!

    What car(s) do you have/drive?

    Brings back memories, my family back in Russia had a first gen Terrano (Japanese import). Then we had a second gen one, Pathfinder, imported from US. But that got rolled... Not sure what they are called where. In the UK, I believe they are pathfinders.

    What car(s) do you have/drive?

    Hi all, Just out of curiosity, what cars, if any, do people here drive/have? My most used means of going anywhere is the bike, but since my wife got a new car (Juke, 1.6 Turbo, actually quite nice to drive), I got her Ford Ka, for those cold, rainy and/or snowy days, or while bike is...

    Bump Starting question

    No, it does not affect it. Push started my Fazer a couple of times as well. Only things with automatic transmissions can't be started. Even then it is possible, but only if you do not value the transmission.

    My first 8 months of being a biker!

    Hi all, I thought it would be a good idea to describe my first 8 months or so being a biker. It all started in May (I think) when I finally had enough money to get a bike license and a bike. CBT, then DAS, with one module 1 failure (was so happy that I reached required speed for avoidance, I...

    UK Tyres

    Hi all, just had Pilot Road 2s talled on my fazer, after canvas started showing on BTs that were on my bike. So far so good. I use the bike everyday, rain or shine, happy so far.

    How to: Make your pipes shine like new!

    Hi all, Thanks for the info on cleaning the pipes, autosol works good, but does require some effort. Got a question though: on my bike the bolts holding the exhaust manifold are quite badly rusted. Is that a big issue? Should I get them changed? Is that covered by the warranty? My bike is...
