I am in Fort Lauderdale but was in the UK until the 24th Sept, let me know next time you are here. How was your trip?

On a serious note, the trouble with the winter in the UK and France is that the rain seems very invasive, it is often a fine rain that seems to find it's way into any gap in your wet weather gear. For the cold, lots of thin layers are the way to go and as it says above, use the waterproofs as...

Sorry Nelly, but I had to post this.... but before you grumble remember that I have had my fair share of UK winter morning rides to work! Winter is the best time to ride here, no rain (the rain stops in Nov and does not return until mid April!), clear conditions and temperatures in the mid...

Is the ashtray full then?

Definitely sounds like the connector for the kickstand switch, mine came unplugged and had exactly the same problem, its just under the clutch lever, the black connector will have come out, plug it back in and all will be good.

Personally I would have said that counter steering is the way to go, if you are going into a left hand bend then gently apply pressure to the left bar almost pushing it away from you, that gives you far more control when cornering. Also, +1 on the advice to look ahead in the bend, look where...

A lot of my clients are so far up the economic ladder that fluctuations do not generally affect them but this time it is different, have noticed a lot of prospective work being put on the back burner as "the boss" has put a freeze on spending for the time being.

:needpics: Well, someone had to do it....

Looks like he snatched the front brake (first video), his front wheel jerks big time just before the back wheel starts to give.

Congrats..Keep the shiny bits on top. Thats one thing I really miss about when I used to ride in the UK, the nodding. Oh, and the bends.

Can we take it that you don't care for the Hyabusa then? Wish you would make yourself clear...:D

Technically the car would not have done anything wrong by not looking for the red light runner, it is the car that ran the lights that is totally and completely to blame but I agree that is would be prudent for them to be aware. The trouble is that any red light runners I have seen have been...

Sounds like a good challenge to me, I am more than happy to change if the new one is better.

Even with all it's flaws, I tend to prefer IE, I have tried Firefox and now Google but I guess it is familiararity as I opened it and now have reverted back to dear old Microsoft.

Running red lights seems to be a popular pastime here. Florida driving laws.. Green light = Stop just before the intersection to work out which way you want to turn or to move over to the correct lane that you should have been in long before you got to the intersection. Amber light =...

Not sure about washing up liquid, it will take off any wax that you have on the bike, Personally I use a very weak car wash liquid and then use a really high quality polish (normally used on super yachts) about every other wash to bring out the high gloss finish. Washing up liquid can be...

The after effects of Fay gave me a real soaking yesterday, as Troubl says it is the norm here to get a good soaking in the late afternoon but yesterday was pretty wild.

Not on the FZ6 but when I had my Bandit I put it on the side stand on a road with a really steep camber, forgot all about it when I got onto the bike and tipped it to the right to get it off the stand, yup, gravity took over and I ended up sprawled on the pavement tangled up in the bike. Both...

Can we post more than one?
