whoops, forgot to mention , this week in Vic at ALDA, gps for bikes on special and wet weather gear and bike covers. I bought a bike cover for $30 and it fits fine, tested it out yesterday in the frost!! Ride safe friends. Rumpole

Yeah, just did 600 kilometres in sub - ten degrees to Shepparton accross the great divide with me mate on his 1982 BMW R100RS which is original and 40,000 klicks on the clock. The Fazer is more economical and has the grunt. Oh yeah. me saddle bags are held in place with fencing wire until I...

There is no option in this poll about 'hating ' the FZ8, we are mostly Yamaha lovers here. What the poll says is that us FZ6 and FZ6S owners won't be buying the FZ8or FZ8S , currently 93%, which statistcially is significant. It may also be something I believe Yamaha havn't considered in this...

Seems with these early statistics coming in, that Yamaha may not have done their homework ie 1. kept making the FZ6 and attract new customers and those wanting a new model 2. Now losing customers because the FZ8 and FZ1 maym not be an option and their once good customers may look to the speed...

'In case you have been asleep in a cave for a couple of years the world is in a severe recession and Yamaha's products are those that aren't needed '.... ahh, our banks wern't hooked up with the United States banks. We are actually more aligned with China now and Asia. Our economy is sound...

Hey Mr YAMMIE, you made such a great indestructible, versatile all rounder in the FZ6 and FZ6S that we don't upgrade our bikes much. We prefer to keep them and modify them. Yeah, most of us even get to the stage where we have to have the valves adjusted. And, Mr YAMMIE, that is about the only...

I think it has a lot to do with marketing. Honda have an 800 with undertail exhaust that looks good, so it cuts into the 600 market. I think the fz1 is a better option than the 800 although more expensive.

It will be quite an event with so much interest in Motogp now we get channel one down here and have seen all the races. ok, anyone who is with Wolfman and needs a camp for the ride down to the island can get one with me in Geelong for a night. Might not be 5 star but your bike will be in a...

Now listen here young fella!!! Actually my mate took the GSX 600 suzi for a test ride when I was on the chopper. Infact there was quite an array of bikes that could be tried. Its just that I have been watching that easy rider movie a lot lately....... Rumps

Review. Yeah old Dennis Hopper has passed on and I didn't mean to be offending his good name here, God bless ya Den. Well leaving the pavement on the longest wheelbase Honda ever built on a Saturday morning in busy Elizabeth Street Melbourne is no mean feat. Especially when you are used to...

nice work. 1. A couple of questions, will the rear pegs still fold up with the bracket attached? 2. Would you be willing to make a set for me? Prepared to pay or you can have a free nights accommodation at my place on your way to the MotoGP (including garaged accom for your bike). I am at...

Went on the Peter Stevens test ride day in Melb. yesterday. Rode the new Honda Fury CT1300 chopper

thanks mate, let me know if it doesn't sell though, I am still interested as I can use it next year on my route 66 trip.

Thanks 'mate'. pm me the details. One question, it looks new, what is the manufacture date inside? be nice to see it on another Fazer. those helmets are expensive downunder. Rumps

what size? if it is XL Im would be interested, plus freight (sea) to Aussie Rumps

What you are saying about Stoner is not the truth, has no foundation of fact and is a blatant 'slur' against the man's reputation and good standing. Stoner is an Australian champion and earns respect every time he rides for his courage and ability. 1. He has recently been off that bike and...

Thought I might follow up my installation with some comments on the alarm now it has been on the bike a while. 100% stoked. So are my friends who can't believe I put it on! Rarely use the steering lock now. The device is quite sensitive in the factory setting and I havn't needed to adjust...

Now before people say I am too old school, take a look at the bikes I have chosen. There is a second hand Norton for sale right now here in Geelong for $22,000. Sitting in Peter Stevens showroom in Geelong. I have been looking at one for a while, this is the 750 model, I am after the 850...
