I was sent the email below this week and whilst not wanting to start a debate about the rights and wrongs of our current military deployments around the world it is a fact that young men and women are doing their duty and laying down their lives in the name of our country. I don't know if the...

I'm in Cheshire

he was gone too quick for her to get it, the police are really only interested here if there is seroius damage to the car or injuries to people

I voted, "Sometimes" but not based on whether the scooter looks cool (is that possible?). It depends how it's being ridden, if it's the usual all over the road, numpty style riding that's typical round here they get ignored at best but if they're riding sensibly then I'll nod like I would to any...

I'm guessing as she was stationary at the time she wasn't doing anything stupid. I've spent enough time sat next to her to know she's a pretty good driver anyway... and given I ride a bike she's pretty 'bike aware' for someone who's never been on one!

I had my 600 mile service done back in September (having bought the bike new in June), the dealer charged me £33 (for the parts). I think it's Yamaha policy not to charge labour for this service so it sounds like someone might be trying to rip you off! In terms of any requirement to have the...

My wife has taken my car on a business trip today and just phoned me to let me know that some guy on a bike just took my wing mirror off with his shoulder as he road past her in stationary traffic on the motorway. He must have known he hit it, so would it really have it hurt him too much to...

I watched it on iPlayer yesterday. Thought it was a very good program, for once showing a balanced view of bikers in the eyes of the police. Nice pair of bikes he got to ride for a living too. The pheasant thing kind of makes you wonder how you'd deal with something like that and whether your...

Don't think I'd throw the punch, the kick didn't seem to do much damage but I'd sure as hell be throwing a few strong words in their direction.

Taken in my back garden one bright and sunny morning in early December 2008...

Any temperature that risks there being ice on the road is too low for me.

I don't think using a scanned image of the key would work in a lot of cases anyway. Doesn't the FZ6 S2 have a chip in the key to disable the immobiliser? I know an awful lot of cars do, not sure about other variants of the FZ6. Just having a key that fits and turns the lock won't necessarily...
