    I'm glad I had this problem at home n not at the gas station!

    I'm a bit late but lock graphite is magic stuff. Would have been good to try that. Maybe that's the same though as liquid wrench????

    Rider AND bike walked away

    No police report but and she'll have insurance if I can be bothered. I just can't be asked really getting it all sorted for the sake of a bent plate and a small scratch. No doubt Team Moto will put on another free-advertising-banner for free next time I'm in there. My million dollar medical...

    Rider AND bike walked away

    I was sitting in traffic on Stanley St, Woolloongabba yesterday evening and got tail-ended. A real shock to the system as I always (well, ALMOST always as it turns out) keep an eye on the situation behind me for just this. Apparently she was studying her GPS and didn't look up in time to see...

    Bikes at work

    There's a reason I've got my bike in the shadows and yours in the light. Mine's FILTHY, despite the rain this morning. :thumbup:

    Bikes at work

    I shares a parking spot at work with a couple of other guys. One of them has bought himself a new bike a couple of months ago. The sheer beauty of the scene struck me this morning when I got off my bike and looked back and I thought I'd better share it with the forum.

    Very helpful and I'll be watching as well. Shad looks like a better/more economical option.

    Shock-horror. I may be available for a blast depending on recovery from recent elective surgery, status of working wife, mood of visiting mother, demeanour of 4 kids and longevity of repairs on the fizzer. When and where????? Feeling that earlier is better but juding on my reliability in the...

    How do you fill up

    I seem to remember the same thing from some training or other I've had either her or in the UK. You have to get off your bike in case you slip while you're filling up or something and the bike goes down. They probably think that will ignite the fuel in the forecourt or something. Also, you...

    Wave as you go past

    Righto! Finally got my bike back on the weekend and rode it to work and back today without incident. Apparently the stator was broken such that two of the phases weren't sending enough current through when the engine was warm and the engine was turning over at below 4500rpm. Don't...

    How do you fill up

    Left side if I can get it but right if I can't. That's nothing to do with dominant side though. It's just that when the bike is on the side stand it's tipping over to the left and therefore you have less of the tank to contend with. On the right side you stand a chance of having to lay the hose...

    experience/ age record?

    I'd better go quick before someone else gets in. I can beat that but not by too much. I've got about three years of constant, every day riding under my belt (seat?) but I've had a full licence for nearly 9 years. Didn't really use it much until 3 years ago. And I'm 40 in November. Anyone...

    Well, I did it.......and appeared to pass the first test!

    I've got a bright yellow safety mesh vest that I used to wear over the top of the bike jacket. I really didn't mind wearing it but: I take a backpack every day so its a bit difficult to see anyway The velcro is just about useless now after a couple of years of abuse I haven't worn it...

    Wave as you go past

    Hi guys, The short answer is no - haven't found out what the problem is yet. The long answer: I got the bike to my local guy at Brendale and he replaced the battery. It seemed to be charging OK apparently and the battery had apparently dropped a cell so wasn't outputting enough power to...

    One guy came up to see what the problem was. He was in his car but rides an 04 FZ6 :)
