    So, do you have a tattoo?

    Hate my tattoo. Got it when I was big in to DJing. It's (if you are old enough to remember) one of those plastic inserts you get in old single records. I wanted something that nobody else had and had something to do with mixing. Still have my decks and all my records but my love for biking is...

    What defines a motorcyclist?

    Sorry my intent was not to bring gloom to this thread like the British weather. I am listening to the rain as I type this!!! I totally agree with your question after a re-read. I think I jumped the guns a bit quick there. But I can understand people enjoy biking more in fair weather. But to...

    The fake Carbon debate

    I don't get why people want real carbon fibre unless the entire bike is made of it for weight savings. One or two panels isn't going to make it any difference. First of all it's pricey! Does it really look that great? Is it because it's considered a fairly exotic material that people want it...

    Hello World

    Welcome. Impressive start into modding. Lovely bike too. I never understood why people liked the naked look until recently, now I have the bug. Living in the UK I could have just bought one rather than having to mod it, like your previous owner. Quite jealous of you.

    What defines a motorcyclist?

    I teach people to drive cars for a living. This means I have to get in my car to go to work, sit in it all day and then come home in it. Often for 12 hours. At the end of a day I don't feel like going out on my bike because I have been concentrating on the road all day long. I feel shattered...

    To wave or not to wave, that is the unorigionally named poll...

    I am a driving instructor. All driving instructors wave to each other. When I'm on my bike I nod to every motorcyclist I see too. So I do a lot of nodding and waving. It's all good.

    2007 FZ6 Fazer S2 - Standard UK Headlight Setup

    Yeah most of us have done a mod of some description to illuminate both low beams for a better 'look' and to provide more light. I like most did the bd43 mod as it's the most professional way of doing it but takes a bit of time. Sounds like the mod your previous owner did was a bit of a bodge job.

    Has your bike ever hit the ground?

    No. Not planning to either. Like a previous post, I too have come off dirtbikes plenty. But they are different it's hard to forward plan because the ground is so varied off road and your vision is blurred. On roads there is none of that to worry about.

    Very modded FZ6 on YouTube

    That's true his is deffo the most extreme mod wise, I worded that wrong. I meant I have never seen a fz6 styled in this way, those radiator covers make the bike look so different somehow mixed with the fly screen.

    Very modded FZ6 on YouTube

    Sorry if everyone has seen this but I have never seen such a custom FZ6 before. Found this on YouTube. I wonder if the owner is on the forum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7oCXzMQ0eM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    Do You Own the Right Motorcycle?

    If that's what you want the 848 will have loads. I just change down a gear or 2 when I need to accelerate.

    Do You Own the Right Motorcycle?

    I had a fazer as my first big bike and decided I wanted a v-twin litre bike. So I got an sv1000, that was a fun bike, even though it was more powerful it felt slower as the power delivery is so smooth and has no high end rush. After putting up with the wrist and back breaking position for 6...

    Street Triple

    Weird, 2 months since I put that last post. Now I really like the new lights and think the new ones look really dated. Bear with them they do grow on you.........slowly.
