I lash a pelican to the pillion seat and stuff things in it's beak. Smells a bit fishy, but it's waterproof.

No you wouldn't. The stock can isn't marked Not For Road Use, and provided the tester doesn't think it unreasonably loud (know any bike-friendly test stations?) it'll pass :thumbup:

Saw the last 15 minutes of the Lambo one.... probably won't watch the others, the presenters may as well have been cardboard cut-outs. The US circuit was surprisingly fiddly and 'budget' looking, I was expecting something far simpler and bigger, I think that goes in it's favour though.

Yep, gas is what we release under the duvet to drive the Missus out of bed with :-)

No, we already have enough :thumbup: :justkidding: I'd be interested to see the US version, find out how it compares. Good to see some different cars getting abused as well. Is there a Stig on the US show, or does that kind of humour not translate well to American TV?

My job's great, working with bikes :-) This is what I do: www.shinybikesyndrome.co.uk

Thanks for the response, four pages!! Wasn't expecting anything like that :rockon: This is her second Fazer. Her annual mileage has actually dropped, on her first FZ6 Fazer (her first bike ever) she did 36,000 miles in a year and a week before she crashed it and wrote it off on a big UK Fazer...

The Missus rolled over 100,000 miles last Friday evening on her FZ6 Fazer which she bought new in June 2005. It's a bit tatty, but still runs fine, so we took great pleasure in thrashing the pants off it round some local back roads this afternoon :thumbup:

Thanks guys, it's a bit beyond my bike knowledge all this diagnostic computer stuff. I did find the problem in the end. Debz got her service manual out and traced the issue back to the cut off relay. I had a look at it and noticed one of the crimps had come loose from the connector. Turns out...

We're trying to find out why the Missus Fazer keeps cutting out. It was at our local shop for repairs recently and they said it was a wiring issue (the bike has done just over 90,000 miles!). They claim to have fixed it, but the problem is back. She was doing an oil change this morning and...

Still got the grab rails here. Will PM you.

More HERE About 13 pages of them in all, so open a beer and put your feet up.

Did you have anything in writing about being able to use the garage? If not it may just be their word against yours if it goes to court. That quote sounds like a replace rather than repair cost, a few scratches shouldn't cost more than a couple of hundred quid to professionally repair. I reckon...

Ah now. I did think about that, but surely the oil that dribbles into the hole as soon as the bolt is undone would stop the loctite working? I guess the next oil change would be the logical time to do it so the holes can be cleaned out while the sump's empty.
