Yes, you're right, good point, but sometimes doing things with the heart rather than the head turn out for the good. I sooo wanted a pet after my two cats died - they were with me for 18 happy years and they came as a bit of an impulse, too. Anyway, I'm very grateful for the all the advice...

I agree and was considering a retired racing greyhound, but this puppy was 'accidental' in that the breeder didn't intend the parents to come together, so I feel not altogether unselfish in giving her a home.

Here is Evie: Thanks for all the posts, I'll feel much more confident how to exercise her now. Simon

The dog, not the bus... Just got a greyhound puppy and wondering how best I can exercise her as she grows up. I don't have a fenced off yard/garden off my own, but I'm lucky I do live in pretty open countryside. If I let her off the leash out there, I might not be able to call her back...

Yes, mine went on the first winter, looking more like ice crystal patterns spreading from the edges of the mirrors than specks or spots. I could have changed them on warranty then I guess, but not now. Not too fussed as I can still get a good view in them. Would be interested in some good...

Ah good news, thanks for letting me know. Simon

Gilo One thing you might want to think about fitting an elim pipe is that it might push your cans back out through your bike's tail piece a couple of cm. That's what my Arrow elim pipe did to my Devils, I guess because the Arrow pipe's a bit longer than the OE cat pipe: I don't worry...

Hi all I've got: a twist of the wrist - the motorcycle road racers handbook a twist of the wrist 2 - the basics of high-performance motorcycle riding the soft science of road racing motorcycles all by Keith Code (the guy who set up the California Superbike School); first editions, I...

Got mine new in April 08, 17850 mostly commuting miles so far :thumbup:

One tough looking plane - (in layman's terms) what capability does it meet?

I like it! Can I call mine that too? Though really I guess we need side panniers, too...

Yes, please and I guess we'll be able to find someone to do something similar this side of the Atlantic.

0.5 out of 10 for me...what's a headlight modulator?

Wire shredder barriers have appeared here in the UK too, though riders' groups are campaigning against them with some success I believe. These things worry me too: I'm guessing the flat front end barrier there is to stop four-wheelers riding up over the barrier at speed, but for a bike(r)...

I voted 'no'. When I had an R1 and did lots of trackdays, I used to hang off like a demon. Now on the road with the FZ6 I affect the Mike Hailwood styl-ee and take pleasure in making the turns sitting bolt upright with my bum in the middle of the seat. But yes, the hero blobs do sometimes...

Me too. Can't fault them.

+1 on that when I've gone down in the past. Glad to hear you're not too bad and, like you say, that much wiser now.

I had one of these for a year a BMW R1200RT SE. SE means it came with heated grips & seat, onboard computer. Pros: - fantastic at munching miles in comfort - adjustable screen could get you right out of wind, noise, rain, cold - low seat option meant I could get both feet down -...

I don't know anything about the technicalities of cameras and I suppose it would be perfectly possible. But, in practice, given how busy with traffic are all of our motorways, I would have thought the camera operators would have been too focussed on trying to snag drivers their side of the...

MCN today had a story on the FZ8 coming out in 2010, though the picture of the bike was 'computer generated', so the whole thing might just be a bit of fluff. Can't find it on motorcyclenews.com, sorry. Elsewhere in the same issue, they rode the fully faired Diversion in the US and didn't...
