Some lad is selling his son's bike because he can't be trusted, apparently. So I might be getting a Honda CB900 dirt cheap.
Apparently it's been left in a garage for two months and now isn't running. Rather than telling him to fix it and buy it running, thinking of telling him to leave it and buy it as a non-runner so I can hammer him on price. What do you reckon? Service the carbs and it should be alright?
Carbs. Blech. It's the 21st century, people. Get with the fuel-injected cool kids, people.

Just put together my parts list so's I can get my dad to replace the exhaust manifold studs, gaskets and nuts on Bess, and the official Yamaha parts total comes to €62.00 on cmsnl.com (One of the few places that seem to sell by Yam parts number.)
4x Gaskets @ €4.50 each
8x Studs @ €2.50 each
8x Nuts @ €3.00 each (WTF?)
Seems a bit out of whack, frankly. Does anyone know of a website that will show you equivalent non-yamaha parts, because close to 90 EUR seems a bit stiff for maybe a hundred grams of metal... Or better yet, does anyone know anyone who sells the Yam parts cheaper?

OK, I've been here a month now and I'm frigging bored.
* Everyone rides Harleys. Everyone thinks they're great
* Everyone is retarded
* I tried to rent a bike. All they had were Harleys. I didn't bother.
* It's getting to the point where I might bother.
* I need a Michigan bike license to buy a bike
* To get a Michigan bike license I need a Michigan car license, since the bike is an entitlement on a car license
* Everyone is trying to sell me something
* Can't go to the pub, because there are no pubs
* Can't get bladdered because you need a car to get anywhere
* If you *do* go to a bar there's always a lad in there, so it costs a dollar to take a piss.
Miss Blighty, miss my bike, and I miss people with a properly developed sense of proportion.
What's been going on 'round here, then?

I've got me dad looking after Black Bess while I'm in the States, and while she's there I thought I'd task him with a bit of maintenance.
The bolts that hold the exhausts onto the engine, does anyone know what size they are and where I can get a nice set of rustproof stainless ones, with a gasket, too?

One screw. No Wadding. Much, much nicer... Sorry to everyone I annoyed with my tinny exhaust...

Going to my mate's house over the weekend for a rideout before I leave for the weekend, up in Manchester. Used to live up there myself, but I was a cager, so I only know the motorways.
Any ideas for a loop, starting and ending in Manchester, with a length of about 4 / 5 hours? He's a cruiser rider, so nothing too arduous...

Not sure if this has been posted before, but this is a software program that lets you stick routes into a tomtom or garmin GPS unit, and the website is a community of bikers who create interesting routes and share them.
Oh, and the creator's a biker ;-)

Want to learn to be a bit lot quicker, and a days track instruction at £130 seems too good to be true. So it probably is.
Anyone heard anything about them?

A30 in Staines, on a roundabout. Somehow a moron tried to merge into my lane and clipped the back of my bike. Stayed upright and all he managed to do was smash half the number plate off, but I managed to put a decent ding in his passenger door with my shiny new Daytonas (No holes!). Cunt drove off without checking to see if he'd killed me. Had a bunch of Jesus fish on the back as well.
Got stopped by a plod once, but he was pretty understanding. There is an upside though, no plate meant I could blast along the south circular at 50...

So I dropped my Shark S900 the other week and bent the sun-visor lever. It's finally gotten annoying enough to warrant a replacement. So my question is this: If you were buying for yourself in the next couple of months, what would you get?
Budget doesn't matter a whole lot, but a decent SHARP rating and not being too garish does.

Since I'm new to this, what kind of mods do you guys run, and what would you do to my '06 FZ6?
