    UK trip from continental Europe, September 9th, 10th & 11th, 2011

    I hope no one thinks this is a stupid question but can I just ask, is the date 9/10/2011 European style dating as in 9th of October and not American style as in September the 10th???

    I want dual headlights!!!

    It's all about the BD43 method IMO. Don't you love your bike enough to not do it the most correct way? It's how the bike was designed to be wired only some new law said 2 headlights can look like a car that is a long way away so they ditched one light. I used this method on both my FZS600 and...

    I saw that advert a year or two ago. They obviously don't play it enough!

    I'm sure you have all seen this one too. But I don't know this guy seems to have no injuries. YouTube - ‪Bestial accidente de moto -- Incredible Bike Accident‬‏

    Mine is me trying to ride a bike painted in a cycle lane. What can I say? I'm stoopid.

    UK trip from continental Europe, September 9th, 10th & 11th, 2011

    I had a Vee-Strom and the handling was amazing, I think because of the super wide bars. And the way it leans over is so exaggerated because of the tallness of the bike, brilliant fun. I think it's easy to dismiss these kind of machines as being boring. That they are not, just different.

    Got my FZ6N

    Yes that is a US thing. Being from the UK, I noticed that first on a Harley and thought it looked weird with reflectors on the forks. Then I noticed pictures of bikes I had owned but taken in the States had also got these reflectors. As far as I know the US of A is the only place who does this.

    Weird NJ Ride - July 2

    If I still lived in PA then I would be in. But I live in the UK, it would have been fantastic to meet some overseas fizzer riders.

    The quest has ended.... My new bike!

    I had a wee-strom and didn't really consider a versys at the time, more I read about them the more I wish I had considered one. I hope you enjoy your new machine. These kind of bikes are such fun to corner you lean over so much because of the tallness. Really pleased for you. Update us with pics...

    POLL: Which Leo Vince you prefer? Old or New style.

    I like my scorps more in the looks dept. But I think old look nicer until you have carbon new ones I think those look awesome.

    What would you "upgrade" your FZ6 to?

    Had a few test rides on other bikes from power cruisers to litre sportsbikes. My fave by a long way was a Street triple R. I would love a go on a Speed triple, but I reckon it might be overkill, the Street triple R was a perfect bike.

    What was the last movie you saw, how was it?

    Saw 'Pale rider'. Clint Eastwood film. Watched it because I've watched a lot of spaghetti westerns recently because the are often in the top 10 of worlds best 100 films lists. Most of them that were meant to be amazing I thought were boring. Pale rider does not get brilliant write-ups yet I...

    POLL: How much have you paid in SPEEDING tickets over the past 12 months?

    £60 in a car 10 years ago. They changed the dual carriageway outside my house from a 70 to a 50mph zone. On the day they changed it, they had mobile speed cameras out. I saw the cameras and looked down at my speedo it said 56mph and so I thought 'I'm well under the limit'. Then I noticed the...

    Uk fz6 :)

    Nice to see someone else with round scorps. I don't like the ovals, think they look weird, but the 2 bros ovals for some reason don't. Anyways nice bike like it in white. What effect does the flyscreen make? That's the only bit I'm not too keen on!
