    Street Triple

    I'm 6 foot 4 and I was very comfy on it. It's smallness is what makes it such a fast turning rocketship!

    Street Triple

    I have had the fortune of taking a Street triple R out for a test ride. It is by far the best bike I have ever ridden. It is extremely light, turns faster than anything and the engine is the star performer. It feels like the fz6 engine when the power kicks in at 8k revs but the triple engine...

    Reason of why picking your screen name?

    Well my first name is Marc and we have a store in the UK called 'Marks and Spencer' also known as 'Marks and Sparks'. Because of this I have been known as Sparks or Sparkle but mostly Sparky pretty much since the day I was born. So many people still call me this, a lot of people actually think...

    Before and After Mods...post your pic's!

    I wanted a bit of a black project and I found the perfect bike: An extremely clean example of an 07 with already a few mods including: Belly pan, R&G tail tidy, Micro indicators, Mini number plate, Crash bungs, Fenda extenda, Red rim tape. I added BD43's Dual headlight mod, Airblade double...

    Mirror extender, blind spot reduction

    I know the sv1000 I had was far worse with this problem. You could get very good mirror extenders for it. I don't know if these would work or if you could modify these to work. Or bar end mirrors could be the way to go!

    Hardest technique to master?

    I just can not seem to master those wheelies where you sit on the handlebars!

    had a first today

    Oh yes the old fazer the fzs600 had an even more clunky gearbox than the fz6. You had to really kick it in to 2nd. If you were not thinking it would go in to neutral all the time. Never done it on the fz6.

    Malibu Fatality

    Agreed. I treat everyone on the road like they are going to pull out on me. The day you let your guard down they will pull out and take you out. I'm so glad I only got back into biking after becoming a driving instructor. I am on the road all day long watching how stupid people behave around...

    The best thing about riding a bike is...

    Probably the rush you get from acceleration. I also like being able to sing in my helmet, and make engine noises inside my helmet alongside the noise from the real engine, and no one can hear.

    Hospitalized Since monday due to Guy in F150 cutting me off..

    Sorry for you man. I have not had a road accident yet and worry if it would make me want want to jack in riding bikes. Although I had a bad bicycle accident smashing my teeth out through my lips (no full face helmets on bikes). The first thing I did as soon as I could talk again was buy a new...

    LIDL UK - It's that time again

    I got some gloves and a tank-bag. Really happy with both. I also picked up a scooter, like a childs one, except it will take up to 15stone that's 100 kilos. It has huge wheels which makes it very fast. I like it nearly as much as my fz6. I have wanted one of these for riding home from my mates...

    When to Downshift into 1st

    Well Bruce67 PM'd me with "Work it out mate, if you want to scream around in 1st gear then carry on". Bruce you are an idiot, if you can not understand what I said and that it in fact was totally contrary to what you seem to think I said. And that still after explaining it a second time to...
