    I'm glad I had this problem at home n not at the gas station!

    I'm a bit late but lock graphite is magic stuff. Would have been good to try that. Maybe that's the same though as liquid wrench????

    Rider AND bike walked away

    No police report but and she'll have insurance if I can be bothered. I just can't be asked really getting it all sorted for the sake of a bent plate and a small scratch. No doubt Team Moto will put on another free-advertising-banner for free next time I'm in there. My million dollar medical...

    Rider AND bike walked away

    I was sitting in traffic on Stanley St, Woolloongabba yesterday evening and got tail-ended. A real shock to the system as I always (well, ALMOST always as it turns out) keep an eye on the situation behind me for just this. Apparently she was studying her GPS and didn't look up in time to see...

    Bikes at work

    There's a reason I've got my bike in the shadows and yours in the light. Mine's FILTHY, despite the rain this morning. :thumbup:

    Bikes at work

    I shares a parking spot at work with a couple of other guys. One of them has bought himself a new bike a couple of months ago. The sheer beauty of the scene struck me this morning when I got off my bike and looked back and I thought I'd better share it with the forum.

    top box recommendation

    Very helpful and I'll be watching as well. Shad looks like a better/more economical option.

    Bris Fizz

    Shock-horror. I may be available for a blast depending on recovery from recent elective surgery, status of working wife, mood of visiting mother, demeanour of 4 kids and longevity of repairs on the fizzer. When and where????? Feeling that earlier is better but juding on my reliability in the...

    How do you fill up

    I seem to remember the same thing from some training or other I've had either her or in the UK. You have to get off your bike in case you slip while you're filling up or something and the bike goes down. They probably think that will ignite the fuel in the forecourt or something. Also, you...

    Wave as you go past

    Righto! Finally got my bike back on the weekend and rode it to work and back today without incident. Apparently the stator was broken such that two of the phases weren't sending enough current through when the engine was warm and the engine was turning over at below 4500rpm. Don't...

    How do you fill up

    Left side if I can get it but right if I can't. That's nothing to do with dominant side though. It's just that when the bike is on the side stand it's tipping over to the left and therefore you have less of the tank to contend with. On the right side you stand a chance of having to lay the hose...
