    bull ****

    I keep a little note on my iPhone with all my passwords in it. Except it if anyone read it, they would not understand it. So it might say eBay and then after that it says my password for that site, but I put the first letter then some stars. The first letter is enough to jog my memory for which...

    UK Bikers go to ALDI

    I rode miles in the freezing cold to buy the touring boots. They were really good but they had every size but mine.

    LIDL UK - It's that time again

    Well I believe they have all the stickers on the back that means they have passed all the safety tests to be sold in the uk. And that sharp rating of 3 can not be too bad, I have seen arai and shoei helmets costing £500 with 3 stars. My mum got a Lidl helmet and says it's very comfortable. I...

    Loose tail light

    I was told this is because of the location of the exhausts. The vibrations from them mean the tail light is floating on little foam inserts.

    Twin headlight conversion in the UK

    Oh fair enough, good news! I just wanted to be safe than sorry, only took a min to install the extra connector. What I do know is that when I have had a pillion, the extra weight on the back raises the second light even further. I have even had lorry drivers flashing me because they think I am...

    When to Downshift into 1st

    Try what? I hope you are not commenting on my comment. I gave 2 scenarios, changing to 1st at 5mph or so (as you pull the clutch in, just before you stop), or after you stop, both upon the knowledge that you know you are stopping. Please explain how either scenarios would cause a locked up...

    Twin headlight conversion in the UK

    It's easy I installed a simple bullet connector on the wire near the bulb. At MOT time I unplug. Then afterwards reconnect. I quite like the fact it is slightly raised. I like to think in day time (95% of the time I ride) it is more eye-catching in a drivers rear view mirror. They see me...

    Wha aftermarket exhaust should i go for?

    I got mine from Bikebitz uk. They do free shipping which made them cheaper than ghostbikes!

    Wha aftermarket exhaust should i go for?

    I went for scorpions and love their look and sound. I dont really like the look of the leo vince, they look thinner. We buy these things for look, sound, power, weight reduction. I liked the the look of the round scorpions not the ovals, I don't like the way they point sideways. Although...

    When to Downshift into 1st

    1st gear is for moving off. So you change to first when you know you are going to stop, either just before you stop or after you have. That should be the end of it.

    Questions about Scorpion-exhaust

    I read this before mounting. So what I did was get a broom handle and whack the baffle from the other end. Each one came out easily. Then you cut off the sealant for future removal.

    Horrible jokes.

    This is cleanest joke I know. Why do gorillas get lost? Because jungle is massive!

    Is the FZ6 the best bike you have owned, ridden???

    I have never had a full naked and I find faired bikes windy as hell. So I can only imagine how bad it must be. I had a wee-Strom and the standard windscreen causes such bad buffeting it feels like your helmet is connected to a pneumatic drill. I had to do a 6 hour ride once and I was still...

    Is the FZ6 the best bike you have owned, ridden???

    Am I missing a joke or something? Why is hours of highway on a naked bike sexy? Hang on or even fun?

    Is it the Gears or Just Me?

    I've got a trick for everyone. When you want to start the bike, pull the clutch in and press on the gear selector whilst doing these 2 things press the starter button. It slips in to gear as the engine turns over with no clunk. Just make sure you start the bike when you wanna set off!
