somebody must love her !   

don't know about camel toe....like a feckin big camels toe ! 

E10 is getting more prevalent as its a bit cheaper. I always try to put super in my bikes abroad as it does make it run better .Especially at any altitude.

Has there been any war worth commemorating ?...to answer that we should look to reasons if any the war broke out , and what the outcome meant for the victor. WW1 was a pure folly destined to happen if you study the way the great nations postured and allianced in the lead up to 1914. As such I tend to agree we should somberly remember the millions of innocents whose lives were casually thrown away by the idiots leading us.
WW2 is completely different . That was fought for freedom of the world from dictatorial/ imperialist oppression.More people died, but there are firm grounds to argue it was for the betterment of mankind.Ironically we tripped  into this war through our alliance with Poland, but its hard to argue Hitler would not have consumed us had we tried to stay out of it , as so many countries found to their cost.

whenever anyone considers investing in a company , do remember it isn't risk free. Don't invest any money you cant afford to lose. A 9k lump sum isn't big TBH , but is maybe a persons life savings, so protecting it is key. Isa is a good safe bet for slow growth with 100% protection.

Isa can be set up online. I have a Tesco one which was reasonable interest last year , like kartman says its been reduced this year ...come march there will be better deals as the scramble for cash increases, so probably will switch it somewhere else.... We wont get good interest rates anywhere as so much investment cash goes unused ...

Dek is probably the foccer to PM...done almost everything you can to a gen2.Since 2006. 

he could be turning to the dark side though....and no I don't mean a gen1 !!

Twice I have bought bikes and had them delivered by firms own vans. Always well strapped in and proper ramps.( DK motorcycles; Geo White Swindon)
When I broke down last august I was rescued by a independent firm with a dedicated bike transport van who were working for BMW on contract .Driver said he works constantly ferrying bikes from shop to shop, shop to customer and of course breakdown recovery.
A lot goes on under our noses !

I will try to make this, but it is 70 odd miles each way for me, so will be weather dependant. 

Hi all
Just got back from drillers funeral. Lashed it down all the way to his house ( 75 miles), mini feat of endurance. GS was well up to it though , this is its element. The house was full of family and friends, he knew a lot of folk along his life. Met his son alexander, over from the states, a tall spitting image of John for sure. 5 bikes came, including myself, matty , jase, debs and steve pring , one of the longest serving fazer owner. He travelled from Tunbridge Wells. Amazing .
The service was preceeded by us revving our bikes up while the hearse slowly moved past ,a fitting tribute to John on his final journey. The service itself was very personal, and very moving. We all struggled to stop the eyes leaking I can tell you. We learned so much about John from the eulogy , like he was European Hang gliding champion , before he got into bikes in a big way.It was one of the most apt funeral services I have ever seen, and whilst we all were so sad at his passing , it was very fitting.
The wake was held at the house, and John had always complained about " funeral food"...so we had a pig roast ! Fantastic food, best wishes to the family for their incredible hospitality.A dear friend , he will always be remembered . RIP

or we all could leave an old tax disc in , just so we can feel we are law breakers !   

Hi mark
If you are still reading this, please accept apologies from myself at least for the way this forum has treated what was at the outset a genuine request for help. I read Bike mag right from owning  my first bike in 1976, and well remember the contribution you guys made to ignite my passion for motorbikes which I still have today. I never rode FZS600s, have owned and ridden FZS1000s since 2001. Along the way I have met various journos, contributed to info gathering etc, and always did whatever I could to help.
IF you ever do a piece on the FZS1000, I can assure you of much better attention !
Best wishes for your article.

regards
Jon Pitt

Am interested actually don't mean I will buy one ! Its more from a perspective of its a bmw and I may be trading my GS in, so its always an easier swop if you keep to bmw. But I do agree, I have read several articles now, and none are " wow" !. The 160 crank bhp will probably be quite close to a modded FZ-1(my 06 was 144 at wheel). To me its not enough !...its way cheaper to buy FZ-1 and modify.Even me 10 yr old trusty FZS has 139 at rear wheel and a very flat torque curve. I am guessing it wont even feel as grunty as that till much higher revs.
And I agree, its all looking  a bit underwhelming .Don't like the headlamp cluster , it looks like it still  has a lower fairing , and the can is absolute pants . It looks to me like a early 00's sportbike with upper fairing removed....was expecting something just a bit different.

If I was going back to super naked, I probably would go speed triple as its engine is probably the gruntiest out there at low revs( apart from ktm 1290, but they is way different budgets), and its firmly in the whacky super naked genre, not just a sportsbike with top fairing ripped off !

as it is, another shite financial year will probably mean I stick where I am. Cant keep raiding the savings pot just to have  a new number plate! 

well I pray for mild weather cos I would like to ride behind drillers funeral car as a last mark of respect.
