So, my bike was pushed over for the first time yesterday. Not the most pleasant of views when you get to the parking after watching a movie. Fortunately there was not cosmetic damage, but, the handle bar is now twisted and bent on the right side. Does anyone know where I can buy/order one...

One week ago completed a 5000km return journey from London to Lisbon. It took two days on the saddle each way, from 8am to around 6-7pm. My right wrist was the body part suffering the most.

Just got home a couple of hours ago. Had a splendid time and rode just 11kms shy of 5000kms. It was very tiring but not as bad as I expected, the only 'malaise' I really suffered from was a very painful right wrist, which two paracetamols every 4 hours sorted out. The bike performed as...

I purchased an 04 just a couple of months ago which came with the same problem.

*** fixed ** * and a tad embarrassing, the clutch needed adjustment which took the mechanic a whole 2.5 seconds. Thanks to everyone for your feedback and help. Cheer neos

Hi, in Hotel Management here.

Hi there, I was considering a Givi as well but found an original yamaha 44L which turns out is made by Givi but at a fraction of the price. Mine fits two full face helmets and a bit more. Good luck

Hi there This is the route I'm currently looking at. It will be mainly on free Autoroutes and secondary roads. If anyone has taken a similar route, would love to hear about it. Preliminary I am looking at staying overnight in Tours and Burgos. london Dover Calais rouen chartres...

Cheers, I will give it a shot. Thanks for all your feedback.

Hi there, the noise can be heard and the jerking felt on 1st gear but always at speeds below 11mph. I really can't remember now if I have noticed the same problem on 2nd gear... I'll check that out in the morning. The odd thing is that it only surfaces occasionally (1/3 of the time only) and...

Thanks for the last reply... I don't have one tiny 'mechanic' bone in me, so I can't agree or disagree. However, I just realized I had not mentioned the clunking noise can be heard even if the clutch is ON and the gears engaged. Once I kick it into neutral is when the noise stops. I think if...

Thanks again, I will have someone look into it this weekend. I'm riding from London-Lisbon in 2 weeks and want to get it sorted. Best Neos

Thanks V1Jay, did the noise and the jerking stop when you switched to neutral? This is the oddity with mine. Thanks Neos

Hi there I got a 2004 Fz6 two months ago and I am very happy with it. However, recently it started making a 'clunk' noise when stopping, usually at spends below 11mph. The mechanic thought it was something to do with the front breaks or the forks, but today I realized that as soon as I...

Hi There Does anyone know if there is an 'adhoc' breakdown assistance the continent? ie. who does one call if he has not purchased breakdown cover and needs to be rescued? ... and how much? Cheers Neos

Hi guys I will be going down the west coast of France to Bordeaux, San Sebastian, Valladolid then crossing into Portugal. I'm also trying to avoid most toll roads so will be using a mix of A roads and free-autoroutes. Does anyone know if there is an 'adhoc' breakdown assistance the...

Hi All I will attempt my first 1300 mile tour in a couple of weeks, leaving London on a Tuesday and hoping to take only two days to reach Lisbon. As the weather may be less than predictable I have all the wet/cold gear ready and will have the bike checked before hand. Hoping someone out...

Whatever she does, she cannot stay at the Pennsylvania (across from Madison Sq Gardens), unless if she likes dirty and tired rooms at a premium.
