£16 a ticket, £4 a programme and £10 to park!!!! :eek
How can the NEC justify these charges? I've just been to the caravan show last Tuesday which is massive and entry was £5, with free programme AND free parking!!
What makes the NEC think that bikers can afford this rip off!!

hey guys, bit of a crap end to the day...
Normal commute home, not going nuts staying below 8k all the way back, noticed as I got to within 5 miles of home that it sounded like the fan had kicked in, but couldn't be sure as my earplugs are pretty good, I should have stopped but couldn't be sure it was the bike. First mistake!
I continued home, checking at each set of lights but couldn't pin the noise down to the fan and didn't notice the coolant that had sprayed all down the side of the bike. Second mistake!
got to within 400 yards of home and the temperature warning light came on...oh F@"k... I stopped immediately, killed the engine and got off, realised it was the fan and spotted the coolant all over the engine. I waited for it to cool down and then road the last 400 yards home, coasting with the engine off for the last 100.
Looking at it, its mostly down the right hand side of the engine, there isn't any water left in it but the oil is at normal level and there isn't any water in the oil (as far as I can tell by checking under the oil cap for residue).
Whats the most common solution? Thermostat, pipe popped off / split? I know its a shot in the dark without you guys seeing it. How should I go about checking for the most common things? I've never worked on a bike, lots of cars but not a bike. I'm guessing that once the tank is off its all easy to see?
Is it likely that I'll have done any damage to the engine by running it until the temperature warning light came on?
As always, I'll appreciate any comments, thanks

hi all from he west midlands.
Picked up a 2002 fzs 600 ready for the winter a couple of weeks ago and must say very impressed with the handling. hoping its going t serve me well. do around 18k -20k miles a year so it will certainly be put through its paces. 29 years old, previously owned a trusty thundercat amongst other bikes from 50cc cagivas, singles. Twins of all makes right up to pan euros. looking forward to firing questions at folk on the forum as and went things crop up.
Safe riding.

I've been searching for a while now, but not having much luck .So can anyone recommend a the above type cover with the following -
- cover's all of the bike all the way down to the bottom of the front wheel.
- has a elasticated front and rear sections that will hug the front wheel and atleast try to do the same with the rear.
- has eyelets in plastic rather than metal in the front with hole at least 20mm
- had a inner liner to protect from scratches and has a rear section that is heat resistant
- has straps/clip at either end of the cover NOT in the middle.
- plain black or some other dark colour with either minimal or no brand or logo.
- with more than 1yr warranty.

There seems to be a 'clunk' noise when braking, it sounds almost like the tank is loose and being jolted, but i've checked and it's mounted firmly. What would the next thing to check be? It brakes fine and the suspension travels smoothly.
