Had a phone call this morning off my other half telling me a BUS had just skittled her!! :rolleyes ....apparantly  she was waiting to join a dual garbageway..when she saw a bus approaching !!,,so she waited for it to pass, (as you do),,,then the bus driver flashed his lights for her to go?...then......BANG!!!!!! :eek .....straight into side of her!!!!...knocking car(ZAFIRA)..off the road onto grass verge!!...now very disstresed she managed to get out the wreck to confront the bus driver(who by the way? had to be  told by someone on the bus to stop!!!!!!!...why he had flashed her to pull out then hit her full on at speed!!...HIS reply was?????....what you talking about?,,,i wasnt flashing you?...i was flashing my mate on the otherside of the road!!!! ...the asshole then said?...i wouldnt bother trying to claim dear as its your fault and i have at least 15 witnesses on board!!... he didnt even ask her if she was ok?...well she,s not and had to go to hospital for a check over!!...they told her she,s got a badly swollen shoulder and neck and it more than likely get worse over next few days!!....rang insurance company ,to be told?...if we havnt got a wittness to see him flash her we havnt got a leg to stand on!! and would more than likely go down as a 50/50 claim!!...and if that did happen she would not be able to put a injury claim in??...any ideas if this is correct?........

guys i know its on here but cant find it, looking to have my seat re-modelled or replaced any suggestions its a 2003

...Yamaha white plug on the left hand side of the fairing?

Had this issue with my 5PW R1 recently, it was in quite a state, then yesterday, about 1 minute after the bike having been fired up from cold, the cooling fan kicks off.

Obviously, no guage to go from, so I turn the bike off, get ready to ride off and re-start, 20 seconds later, no fan.

Wonder if it is just a crappy connection causing problems?

I haven't looked into it other than what it says in the manual about needing a non existant key identification number, but could anyone advise on getting new keys cut for my fzs600. It's a bit unnerving just having the one that came with the bike.

Reading thread re French Police got me thinking about speed and the use of......The message from government is usually along the lines of "Speed Kills" but surely its the inappropriate USE of speed that is a factor in many so called accidents? They are legislating for all of us and  because the AVERAGE standard of driving is poor as we witness daily from our position of increased vulnerability, those road users with above average abilities have to obey the same rules as everyone else.
If these guys choose to break the speed limit then they must be prepared to take the consequences if caught.
If speed kills then why would those in power consider raising the limit on our motorways to 80 when many accidents on these roads are due to poor lane discipline,lack of observation and tailgating-usually in lane 3?
I have no argument with speed in the right circumstances, but I can only think of a few car drivers that ive been a passenger with who ive felt safe with under all conditions-funnily enough they were all motorcyclists as well so THOUGHT and READ the ROAD like bikers have to!
If Im batting down the motorway @ 100plus in lane 3 and mr Magoo or the guy twiddling with his mobile pulls into my lane because he hasnt looked or failed to judge my approach speed am I going to blame him for his stupidity or accept that I played a part in the situation for making ASSUMPTIONS about others abilities/intentions?
If I get clocked by a speed camera (I did once & that was enough!) whose fault is that?
If we are intelligent beings surely we can find opportunities to  "make progress" without drawing attention to ourselves? and let the "boy racers" do trackdays to show us how good they are.

Always felt sorry Giggs hasn't got anyone to play football with in Euro or World Cup. Now without Giggs... disaster.  6-1 against not very strong or united Serbian team. It was a funny looking game, with the home crowd booing their team's goalie and calling the head of the FA a thief.

OK, bit of a noob, just got my Fazer 600 (2003 model) and big 16mm chain and anchor. However I'm struggling to find a decent place to thread the chain through the frame, rather than just the wheels. Where do you all put your chains? Or should I get myself a Pinch Pin?
