so far the hypothesis of my learned friend in Houston is null. It appears that only 30% of people who have fitted after market exhausts to their Yamahas have crashed their bikes. 1 in 3. He was suggesting it would be 90% and therefore proving his argument. Unfortunately our poll option is...

Spoke to some lawyers in Houston who are on a thread about bike mods and crashes. Seems some insurance companies are looking closer and closer at the machines turning up bent. Consequently I would like to graph a hypothesis I am working on, just my slant on their thinking. Please don't answer...

Hey, have a safe and prosperous Christmas people. May your new year be everything you dream of and be fulfilling for your family. I am tracking a ship at the moment that has a Chrissy present secured inside container C219au Royal Wolf. Right now, back on the Fizzer and heading to Lorne for a...

How are you supposed to read these weather forcasts? Make it more simple people!!! I got this today in Wyoming - FOR TONIGHT...SHORT WAVE WILL CONTINUE ITS APPROACH WHILE BACK DOOR FRONT CONTINUES TO SETTLE INTO THE REGION. EASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BRING AREAS OF FOG THROUGH MUCH OF THE...

Just booked my airfare to LA on Wednesday then connecting flight to Tennessee. No, I'm not going to visit Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman for Christmas. Bought a 2010 FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide from Smoky Mountains Harley. Thanks to the great dollar rate it cost A$15,270 and I will keep the yank...

seems like the big freeze is on in the US and UK by looking at the tv last night. Feel sorry for you bros. The only filter I had trouble with was the original one. I put mine on with a coat of oil, half turn after hand tight and no problemos.

Gday Mate, I bought a set of sports panniers from VENTURA and planned on using them for touring only. I am a Barrister but also teach some units of law at a local university. My bike parking is undercover and close to the faculty. I generally carry a laptop and some books and papers. Do...

yeah. how can I take a moderator seriously that doesn't ride a motorcycle. It was one of the reasons I created the mileage poll. Now we know who rides and who dreams. R

This type of advice is both dangerous and ill informed. It actually degrades a useful international forum. 'You should have ridden off'...... The person giving this advice deserves to be charged and arrested. Quite often there are witnesses and remote CCTV footage of these small incidents...

hey, anyone is welcome to post or poll here. sorry to hear about the bros in the states, made it on the news in my legal notices. rumps

Lane splitting or filtering is law breaking in your state but you already knew that. Leaving the scene of an accident is law breaking.(you knew that and were smart enough not to do it!) So far you havn't been charged with either. What you have is an understanding and a repair bill. I would...

I guess I travel more than I mod. This year is nearly over, how far have you travelled on your Yamaha this year in our big, brown land? or.... Do you mostly spend time on the net thinking about it? I did 90 km this morning on a country road going to work which made me think about the Fazer. I...

yeah yeah. but at $500 a set every 12 months, I like to use what others feel are best. 12,000 km on my Bridgestone 21's is not good!!!!!! what are you using Kaz?

There has been a lot of talk about 'don't buy new tyres in summer because they wear quicker' and Pilot Road 2's get the best milage etc etc. But....... at 12,000km, my Bridgestone 21's are getting there. Second set of tyres on the bike and the original 20's got 14,000 km and were square. Now...

yeah feeling good and tired matey. We had a long, cold and wet winter down here and a drought of some years is still breaking. What a great bike the 600 is. I rode on freeways, back roads, twisting mountains and plain ordinary country highways. Passed plenty in cars that just looked so jealous...

Just another 4 days of touring before the weekend rain (Bosses Rain) as it rains every weekend now. Did the Pyrenees and ended up at Lake Learmonth behind the Police station. Been dry for over 15 years! There is the largest windfarm in the Southern Hemisphere near here, about 120 turbines...

Everyone has been talking about the great weather we have been having down under lately and how good it is for riding. Yeah, Yeah. Well I live on one of the best roads for bike riding here in South Victoria , Australia, the Great Ocean Road. Well when I was asked to walk the 90 Kms from Cape...

diy radiator guard these people are using 'crimsafe' stainless insect material and edging from Clarke Rubber. Might have a go at that for $35. post pics later. Rumps

hey thanks, here is the link Rad Guard Australia I still might try and make something, $195 buys a lot of BP Ultimate! :thumbup:

Yamaha offers a nifty aluminium radiator cover as an accessory for my FZ6S at $335 plus $46 for the fitting kit for bikes made after 07. Y-Shop yeah, sure and I love throwing money away! However it appears flat compared to the plastic protector on my bike which has little grills. Has...
