    Poll: Do You Hate Your Job?

    I am a driving instructor. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. I get to meet people from all walks of life. Male, female, rich, poor, young, old, interesting, boring, disabled, black, white, yellow, brown.......the lot. I ask lots of questions and gain lots of interesting facts from many...

    That's weird. I picked one of these up for the first time today. It's not bad for a freebee!

    Can you reliably judge your speed by feel?

    In a car I can tell when my pupil is doing 29, 30 or 31 mph without looking at the speedo (too long doing the job). On a bike I'm rubbish. When I first got a sportsbike I went 70 and almost turned to stone with fear. Now sometimes I think I'm doing 70, look down and it's says 100mph!!!

    Who is this guy? fz1 and fz6

    I vote messing around. It looks like the kind of stoopid thing I'd do.

    Greece - The land of Squids

    I have just come back from a holiday in Greece (The land of squids). It's insane. Where we were, probably 90% of traffic is motorcycles or scooters. They all go flat out and they all wear at most shorts, t-shirts and flip flops. One girl was wearing nothing but a bikini and bare feet, and get...

    rode a cruiser for the first time

    I love cruisers. I know my fz6 is a great compromise but I get bored easily. I've had 5 bikes in the last 3 years and have recently been thinking about a cruiser. I have ridden a v-rod. It's damn fast for a cruiser. But more recently rode a kawasaki 1500 drifter. Sorry the pic is sideways. I...

    This is the only reason I have come off a motorcycle and the only time I have broken a bone. Some idiot put what looked like rope between 2 trees and I saw it about 10 metres before it was to cut me in two. Slammed on brakes an flew over the bars. Frickin idiots out there I tell thee!!!!

    Anyone ever hit a Rabbit / Hare

    I hit a deer in a car at about 70mph once. Very dead deer, very dead car!!! I was lucky to survive that one. The other day a pigeon flew at my helmet at full speed, the fact I too was going really fast meant if it had hit I may have suffered a broken neck. But I ducked with the skill of a pro...

    A lesson to all idiots hammering the rev limiter.

    I hate it how people do things like this. What is the fascination with revving the crap out of your bike? Also burnouts, what on earth is that all about?

    FZ6 vs. Vstrom

    I have owned both. I had an original fazer (fzs600) but wanted to try other things. I tried lots of other bikes, ended up on a weestrom. As you can see it was fully tricked out. This bike is a real do everything bike I loved it. Its the most fun bike when cornering, I think the high up position...

    2007 FZ6 exhaust vance and hines slip ons

    I believe they make exhausts for cruisers. So the answer is no.

    Bobber project

    Part of me has become obsessed with the idea of starting a bobber project. I seem most interested in bikes when I am customising them. A big part of me wants to create this: But in selling the FZ6 to fund such a project will I regret it? My bike is just how I want it and it's such a great...

    You know you love to ride when...

    When you still make engine sounds inside your helmet as you are gunning it.
