I love comic sayings and philosophies, kinda collect them, so when I saw these on another forum, I shamelessly stole them; under the title:
20 Top Zen Teachings
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, for the path is narrow. In fact, just foc off and leave me alone.
2. Sex is like air. It's not that important unless you aren't getting any.
3. No one is listening until you pass wind.
4. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.
5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
6. If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.
7. Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
8. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
9. Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
10. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
11. Some days you are the dog, some days you are the tree.
12. Don't worry, it only seems kinky the first time.
13. If you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it.
14. Good judgement comes from bad experience...and most of that comes from bad judgement.
15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
16. There are two excellent theories for arguing with women. Neither one works.
17. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.
18. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
19. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our backside - then things just keep getting worse.
20. Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Hi guys,
Just traded in my fzs600 (2005 plate) for the 1000 model (2008 plate). It appears the fairing is smaller on the 1000 and the windscreen doesn't protect me much at all from the wind. Has anybody out there put a new screen on and if so which one and where from and how much?
Many thanks, andy
Was a real arse to fit as it was the cheaper old style unit that needs secondary 12 volt feed , but works ok, especially scrambling round the farm yard in the dark.. Went out on the road after taking the photos and adjusted the beam considerably higher, like I said their good, but dunno if I'd bother with doing the fz1, the twin lights on that are pretty good stock.
I ain't got much money, live in a rented house, don't own a car and have an old 52 plate sprinter van for work. All I spend my hard earned on apart from living comfortably is me bikes really. As such I've got a couple, including this harley I bought so I would have summat to leave my son and grandson, to remember their crazy old dad/ grandad when I'm long gone. I gave the fatbob to my son last summer, but now winter is here he ain't using it so I got it back. Picked it up in me van on Thursday as I was working near his gaff, got it home Thursday night, unloaded it, and went out for a nice autumn evenings ride. Came back pronto as in true harley fashion a fuse went and I lost rear light, brake light, horn and indicators. Sensibly the fuse cover is a simple push fit on the side under the seat so easy to access, un sensibly the fuses ain't marked and there's no spares ( it uses them micro blade fuses) anyhoo, Saturday popped to halfords, changed the fuse and went for a blatt. Later that day went out again for a long ride, but this time with the missus. I wouldn't want it as an only bike, and there's no justifying how much it cost me or the three years it took to pay it off, but there is something hugely rewarding about just banging along nice and steady with that big ok central speedo staring up at you, pedestrians gawking in a way they never do, kids and old people giving you the thumbs up, girls smiling, and all the while sounding like a ww2 bomber and feeling like an outlaw lol.
That evening washed it and acf50'd it. It'll never be the bike my fz1 or cb13 is, but I'm gonna use it as my city bike over the winter, in its own way it's a lotta fun. Come spring my boy can have it back, and I'll be happy to see it gone by then, but looking forward to summat so completely different for the next few months :-)
Reading the MT09 thread got me thinking :eek When I test rode the (then) new Pan European 1300 the excess was £1000-made me bloody careful!
Had a loan bike from my local Yamaha main dealer for two days back in the summer (XJ6 naked) while my alarm system was being sorted on "Rhondda red"-I always read the small print even though its getting smaller as I get older & noticed I was again signing to agree to be responsible for first £1000 of any damage.
Have test ridden a fair few cars over the years and this has never even been mentioned-probably because the salesman always rides shotgun?
I guess its to discourage hooligan behaviour so I guess its never going to be enough to explore the limits but more to determine riding position comfort & whether theyre telling the truth about torque/acceleration through the gears all the time remembering the engine is still going to be tight for the first thousand miles or so.
Anyway I am more than happy with my FZS 600 & haven't got £7k to spare, so haven't asked for a test ride (YET).
