I think you could probably get more in the panniers, but a tank bag is handy to stow your valuables as you can remove it quickly. You could always have a rucksack though and take that with you! I've done a few trips, one with a full on set up of panniers, tailpack, top box, tank bag and...

A very entertaining vid! I laughed a lot!

Living in France I ought to cheer on Les Bleus tonight, however as the French media have really loved showing over and over again the howler by England goalkeeper Robert Green, I am having a re-think! England play Algeria tomorrow - I live on a street full of Algerian kebab shops and shops...

I'm a +1 on the marketing principle. Like Wavex says, the FZ6 is just a bit old hat now. The motorcycle market is probably feeling a little stagnant with the financial crisis - they just aren't making that many sales. If you are an experienced rider, looking for a middle weight do it all bike...

How old was the kid? If he was quite young, maybe you can understand why he ran off - if he was scared or thought he'd be in trouble or whatever. If he's young maybe go and see his parents or something (after any police involvement - don't go harassing them or anything!). If he's over 18 and...

Well, it's not a legal requirement for cyclists to have insurance, so you can't claim anywhere else! It's generally known that if you claim from your own insurance you have the excess to pay, and will obviously lose your no claims bonus as you are making a claim. If the police attended the...

You could dispose of the oil yourself at your local civic amenity waste/recycling site. Maybe you could ask the dealer to put your used oil in a container and give it back to you? Then you can drive all the way to the CA site, spend your own time and money on fuel and dispose of it for...

That's what I thought, and I reckon the dealer was trying to back track on his actually quite generous offer! For Yamaha to have upgraded the lights would have been a fairly expensive upgrade I think, whereas mods to the fairing weren't. Anyone have any other thoughts? I have considered going...

Hi All, I'm importing my UK Fazer to France and need to change the headlight for driving on the right. I've found a bargain on ebay but need to know if there is a difference in the headlight between the pre-07 models and the 07+ upgraded fairing. I've asked the seller (a dealer) who says that...

Agreed - nice bike. A shame to wave goodbye to it!

I guess my sarcasm wasn't too clear in my post....:D

What's an FZ8? ;)

OK, so to outline the case: You have an international driving licence. You have a bike, with the registration documents in your name? You are having issues getting insurance. You can't get a tax disc without proving you have insurance. I am really surprised you're having issues getting...

Looking good! Love those mirrors! :thumbup:

Sweet vids! Anyone know what Franki is on about at the end of the last one? Would love a translation! He didn't seem too happy about something :D

I remember a story a while ago (sometime last year I think) where a guy actually stabbed his wife in his sleep as he was convinced she was a burglar trying to kill him in his house. They were in a camper van on holiday somewhere. He woke up covered in blood and called the emergency services to...

I've got a Tomtom Rider v2 - it's great, fully waterproof and comes with the RAM mount and a bluetooth headset. You can link your phone to it as well and make calls to points of interest located on your maps etc. I actually tend not to use the bluetooth headset these days as I get annoyed...

Hi, might be interested in your front lights if you still have them available, and if you'd be willing to ship to Europe? Do you have a price in mind? Thanks!

Well, as you said, even if it was imported it has passed previous MOT's and has been registered on UK plates. So it is definitely legal or it wouldn't have been able to pass these. So it's just the issue of not having the immobilzer/lights which you aren't worried about either! The really...

Nice! Great write up! I've been thinking about something like this myself to save some money - will definitely give it a go! :Flash:
