RACQ guy came and we figured out that the battery itself looks OK but there is a little gadget that sits on top of it that isn't. I know nothing about engines and he knew little about bikes but that's what it looks like. Now waiting for a tow.

Don't think it'll hold up. She might start but think the battery is cactus.

I'm at the BP servo on Gympie Rd at Aspley, sitting next to my broken-down fizzer. I gather the battery has died. This is the first time the bike and I were going to spend any time together in ages. The family have already gone up to Coolum for the weekend and I was on the way to meet them...

Oh man! Very scary and glad you aren't horizontal! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I can tell you, I was MAJORLY peeved when I had to change my password. So difficult!!!! :eek: Hopefully the rest of you don't use the same password for everything. That means that every administrator for every site you have an account on knows how to get at your bank account right? ;)

Dear Joan (happy now McLovin ;)? – although my Fazer DEFINITELY isn’t a Joan) I am so sorry! I should never have even thought about another bike, and I certainly shouldn’t have tried to meet someone else. I’m not saying that the Triumph Sprint GT isn’t beautiful – fully faired and sleek...

Hehe. Maybe I shoulda made it a ‘Dear Joan’ letter? I know mate. I wonder what the wife would say if I came home with a new love and kept the current one as well. Might find that the problem solves itself as ONE of them would probably leave :thumbup:

Dear 2008 FZ6S We need to talk, and I thought the best way to start the discussion was a letter. I’m sorry it had to come like this but I don’t think I could get everything out if I talk to you. This may come as a surprise but I’ve been thinking about seeing someone else. I know from your...

Soon mate. Stuff keeps popping up.

Think we have the same helmet don't we Humps? I was gonna say that a new visor costs about 60-80 anyway so might as well go all the way eh?

How old is it mate? My opinion - see you at Yatala on the weekend!

Way I look at, someone has to die to keep all the stats the way they are. If someone else wants to take risks then that makes it all the safer for me! As far as waving, I would just assume his dog has died and he isn't really in the mood.

Hi guys. I know it's been a while so apologies for that. It's been a very tough 18 months or so meaning no time for getting out on the road apart from the daily commute. However all good now and I'm trying to see if I can make a comeback soon. Humps, fishing is something I have been trying to...

Just had to get my stock tyres replaced yesterday after 10000 km. Got my second nail in the rear one in less than a month and they told me when I took it down to get it fixed that you can't plug the same tyre twice. Is that true???? In any case, bought a new set of Pilot Road 2s. I was going...

I've been a runner for the last decade having spent my 20s curled up inside a bottle. This year I'm doing the Gold Coast Marathon to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis (Shameless plug alert: Everyday Hero - Where Living is Giving) I'm also finally getting my black belt after 22 years trainng on...

Your bike is sad and lonely. Give it a hug :thumbup:

Sorry for not having been around much lately guys but I just saw this. I would have been up for that one. Doh! (Mind you, probably still would have been drunk ;))

I always let mine go into flash-mode before I fill up, but then I'm rarely more than 20km away from a station. Here's the record.... Kms Litres Kms/Lt Cents/Km 246.8 13.71 18.00145879 6.89 239.2 14.9 16.05369128 7.72 252.0 15.09 16.69980119 8.20 261.7 15.18 17.2397892 7.82 262.0 14.95...

I think I shall be putting Ikea furniture together next weekend :( Will this lack of a Sunday ride never end? However I did manage to detour over Nebo a couple of times this week after work :rockon:

NO, we usually call them Europe and America. :rockon: I don't actually think we call Australia downunder any more - very 70s/80s. Now we call it Australia :Flash:
