Well you learn something every day!

Jersey is pretty much France, it sounds it anyway. Street names like Rue de Pres etc.

Hello, Frenchy. Nice bike, a good first big bike in my opinion, enjoy it!

95 is the minimum I've seen in the UK in years, I use that, I don't bother with the 98, it's too expensive here anyway.

I would commute on mine, but I work away during the week, 100 miles from home. I tend to have to carry a lot for the week, so normally end up in the car. So it's out on my days off.

Skidded my bike down the road at a few mph the other week, apart from a random dent in the fuel tank, hardly a scratch on the bike.

Had my bike since 6k and now it's about 11k, minor service and new tyres in that time.

My clutchless up shifts are usually really good, I tend to do it whilst accelerating hard. Around town and casual riding, I'll clutch.

Regardless of its' low mileage, it's still an old bike. We're not talking classic sports cars here either, it's just a regular bike! I bought my 2009 with 6k on it for £3400 from a dealer. That's newer and cheaper and I'm in the UK! 600 or 6000 miles I think is irrelevant.

Anyone think it's funny how there is an unusual dip of people who are 5'11"? I think people are rounding up!

Yamaha FZ6 S2 Mivv Oval Exhaust - YouTube What do you reckon?

Surely a gun should only be used in situations of mortal danger? Drawing on some meathead who thinks he's a badass is a bit much. Either get off your bike, plant one on his chin and then kick his wing mirrors off before riding off laughing into the sunset, or just go to the cops with the video.

I just fitted a Mivv Oval today, rode it about a bit and thought it was 'okay'. Until I took the baffles out! It's wonderful, sounds so good and I'm really happy with it. I'll try and make a good vid this weekend and post it here if anyone is interested.

You're trying to fit it without removing the rest of the exhaust? I know it seems like a hassle, but I don't think you'll be able to take it out otherwise, it is in the middle after all! Did you fit the slip on yourself? It's rather easy to do, and you'll probably be able to do it in an hour or two.

I like to ride about and take pictures of my bike in different places.
