Hi all
I recently drove an Evoque and couldn't believe the size of the blind spot caused by the A pillar and humungous mirrors. Really poor design that made me think modern cars don't take into account that drivers don't look out for bikers much anyway and they'll do so even less with blind...
Hi all. Some of you may remember me. I sold my FZ6 in 2009 and bought an R1 so drifted away from the site - sorry!
Crashed the R1 6 months after I bought it so I got a Bandit 1200. That was OK but too heavy so I bought a Triumph Street Triple last year. Love it
I've reinvented myself...
So I've had a 2001 Saab 9-3 2.0 turbo for almost a year. Last year the clutch went which cost me £700 but since then its been fine (if a little thirsty). 3 weeks ago on the same day:
turbo blew - cost £500 plus installation
windscreen cracked - cost £200
MoT expired - cost £50

Took delivery at mid-day today and it's. Just. Mental!!!!!!!!!! Everything I imagined and more. The power, the lightness, the hurting wrists!
I wheelied (inadvertantly) today for the first time in 1st and 2nd.
Under 60 it's hard on the wrists and hands but light enough to manouver...
So after selling the FZ6 I had one objective in mind. R1. I spent ages trawling ebay, MCN, Autotrader. Finally went to see one in Andover on Monday lunchtime. And she's a beauty. Agreed a price, shook hands and I'm picking her up Saturday. With no extra budget over what I sold the FZ6 for...
OK I know it's a car but just look at it :jawdrop:

Hi all. Well, I did the deed and let her go. 2650 notes and now I'm hunting for an R1. 2 1/2 years and 18000 miles of happiness. After 4 years of riding I think I'm now good enough to handle an R1 which I've always craved. I'll stick around but for now I am an ex-FZ6 owner
Hi all
After 2 1/2 years of happy ownership I've decided to sell the bike on ebay. Here's the link:
2007 YAMAHA FZ6 FAZER BLACK on eBay (end time 08-Sep-09 14:04:00 BST)
After 5 years on a 600 I fancy something more powerful. Probably an R1

I've always liked the Maiden. I am a rocker to the core but this movie blew me away. It is unbelievable how a heavy metal band from England who get pretty much zero coverage in the mainstream press can take over the world as they have done. If you don't believe me then watch the movie Iron...
In the name of work I travelled 320 miles on the bike today. Berkshire to Dover and back. On the return leg I was aching everywhere but especially my arse! I'm a surveyor for a telecoms company and the 3 towers in the pics are my responsibility. One is rusting away and I'm overseeing the...
