Check out this useful website-

You can model your body position on a range of bikes, I've put my values in on a boxeye, it's an accurate representation. :)

General / Backpacs?
« on: 25 October 2016, 08:21:16 pm »
Can anyone recommend a decent backpac for daily commuting use? I've got this Karrimor thing thats just not up to the job anymore, it's for sandwiches, keys, phone, wallet, the occasional items of clothing etc. Oh yeah, it's got to be easy to put on over a textile jacket with the usual padding.

General / Facebook and the Foccer's Forum
« on: 02 October 2016, 03:38:58 pm »

Has the forum lost members activity to facebook? I know people use both, but does facebook detract from the forum?
1st of all i'm not a facebook user so I don't know what kind of presence foccers have online and how well it's user by it's members.For some me included, facebook is nothing more than a surveillance and data mining tool for the powers that be. It's been linked to increasing the levels of both stress and envy in the everyday lives of some users, so it's safe to say i'm not a fan.

FZS600 Fazer / Centre Stand Repair
« on: 19 September 2016, 09:17:51 am »
As you can see it’s well and truly focced. The 1st thing was a shot blast to remove all the crap, It's a lot worse than I expected
A piece of steel  tubing bent slightly and squished at the ends in a vice makes a good replacement.
With the feet Tac welded to a bar and a screwed rod keeping the spar distance safe it’s safe to mig weld.
I'm spraying it back to black today, lets hope it fits alright.

So we've got new anti terror police on "FAST RESPONSE" BMW bikes  :lol .
What do you think do we need them? Wouldn't they be better on scooters for a really fast response?

General / Sumer Cider Anyone?
« on: 22 July 2016, 04:05:42 pm »
What's your preference cider wise? Also, when did we change the name of Perry to pear cider? Perry has been common for centuries in UK, particularly in Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, also in South Wales and France. I don't accept this as a name for the traditional drink. what's best?

Hi guys got new galfer pads so fitting this weekend.  :thumbup I've a couple of quick questions for the foccer font of all knowledge! Is it worth me changing from dot 4 to dot 5.1?

What's going to happen to my 'internet porn night'??? Tuesdays will never be the same.
Who'd have though it's a health hazard, surely it relieves stress, lowers blood pressure etc.  :lol

« on: 19 March 2016, 09:08:12 pm »

Seen this in an ad, looks just the thing for lazy foccers who cant be arsed to switch of turn signal.
I wonder if it'll eventually become standard issue on Beemers?

« on: 26 January 2016, 07:48:17 am »
Gale force winds and heavy rain for many parts of the UK today, If you have the choice, I'd make other travel arrangements. If you have to ride be extra careful out there.
