I want to fit a scottoiler onto my FZ6N but don't know how to find the vacuum pipes that I need to use. I have checked the manual and the scottoiler own instructions but I guess I a noob to grasp it. A nice picture showing the vacuum pipes would do me good. A nice picture with a fitted...

When I woke up on Saturday morning for some reason I can't yet explain I had a naggin question at the back of my mind: If ever I was involved in an accident would I be able to press the engine cut off switch? The weather was bit drizzly and I was coming from a church service and was...

On friday coming from work on the road, while I was filtering nicely I was cut off by the infamous white van man. Now usually I just let these things go because its fair game on the road. But that day I was feeling a bit combative. I rode right up to his window and made sure that my bike was...

Hi guys, Has anybody shipped a bike to Southern Africa before from the UK. I'd really appreciate it if you could tell of your experiences. Sometime in the future I want to go on a southern africa tour and am trying to gather as much information as I can about the logistics of moving a bike...

Whats with you guys over the pond and venting off your fury with guns. Redflex pulls speed vans after shooting In Britian, people are more docile and they prefer to mutter these thoughts in their heads or over a pint of beer at the local pub. But there have been cases of road rage over...

There are about 4 demos going on in central London to coincide with the G20 summit (read Some Eat out dough LOL). Anyway was just thinking of things that as a rider I need to do to survive the demo scourge. And because I had not fallen into the scuffles here is a my small list. 1. If you...

Maybe this is one for the forum Admin. I'd like to use Windows Live Writer to publish articles to my blog. What are the settings?

Hi People, I am fitting the main stand myself and need a bit of help. I have fixed all the nuts and bolts and the stand itself. My problem is now how do i fit the springs because they are really toughened. I will post the pics and the write up later of how it all went down. Ta,

Chaps in SA, Are there any shops that hire out motorbikes in JHB. I am coming down next year for the world cup 2010. I will most likely be based in JHB at a friends place. Wish List in order of priority -BMW -Yamaha -any bike will do

I was mighty pissed today in the morning. When I tried top start my beauty I heard that wrrrr sound that tells you I ain't going anywhere today. So I had to dash to the train station for the commute into work. I guess I have to buy a new battery then, I have had to do this recharging a couple...

Hi, Anybody know where I can find a centre stand for a 2005 naked model? Thanks

Now if you commute in central london you will attest to the ease of riding in the bus lanes. Now it seems the Met Police, TFL and the bikers industry association have come up with a code of conduct. This I think should be common sense but then as we all know, common sense is not that common...

On my commute into work today in the morning I passed by an accident scene that involved a motorcyclist so that got me thinking about the reasons for motorbike accidents. So trawling the web I found this article and I have to say it beggars belief how having comprehensive insurance would have...

just when I got a new short term contract, the snow comes down. And in London it means services grind to a halt. Hopefully the public transport will be up and running tomorrow when I am supposed to start work. Saddened that the FZ6 might have to be kept under covers for a bit longer. After...

Just one dumb question. Where can I position the tax disc holder on the bike?

Today when I wanted to go for a spin on my black beauty, I cleaned my S1 helmet visor with the dishwashing liquid. Obviously this damages the anti fog insert, and it did. I was mighty pissed of with myself. Now I had to on ebay to find a replacement Pinlock anti fog insert. I am just pissed...

Is there anyone who is going for the isle of man TT 2009? I would love to go but am not too sure as yet about my work schedule. And being a contractor am doubly not too sure. blame it all on the credit crunch. Well at least the price of petrol has gone down. by the way you need to book now...

I got a new schuberth helmet for £179 the usual price is £379. This helmet is very quiet especially when you stick in the ear plugs. Another thing I like is the all round view through the helmet.

Yesterday as I was going to buy my bike tyres, I witnessed a fresh accident scene. Damn, I had seen the biker just a couple of seconds earlier. Thankfully though the biker was not injured badly, but the bike was worse off as was the cager bumper. From the looks of it the accident was caused...

Ok I do not have the equipment. I'd have done it myself. Can I have my new tyres fitted at a garage that works with cage tyres? e.g. Kwik fit.
