Well in a couple of weeks me and a couple of mates are heading off for a week across Europe. We've got about 75% of the trip sorted but are stuck for the final bit so....

On Thursday morning we'll be waking up in Baden-Baden (love that name) and need to be back in Calais by Friday night. We've looked at heading towards Luxembourg but some of the routes look uninspiring so am after any suggestions.

We don't want to be ploughing hundreds of miles a day, approx between 200 - 250 miles tops a day. Any ideas?

Looking to go a bit further than our usual trip to Luxembourg this year and we've been perusing some old issues of Bike magazine and decided to head down to the Baden Baden area and try out the B500 and surrounding roads.
Has anyone been there, know of any good accommodation in the area, or roads we should try?

i know the 25mm jack up thing has been done to death, but is there any benefit to buying a more expensive kit or is the cheap one just as good? ta.

if anyone out there has a fuel tank for a 2000 model fzs600, preferably silver, with no rust or dents please get in touch. over night mine decided to spring a leak over the garage floor 4 o'clock saturday morning found 3 pinholes on the lower left side. got in touch with webbs yamaha lincoln who quoted £722 for new tank. the wife said no so please help as ebay is a bit iffy to say the least

Stripped my exup valve today it was siezed solid partly open. The cables had been slackened enough so that the servo still moved so didnt throw up the 7k tacho error. Amazingly all the bolts came out without breaking  :eek  and its a totaly different bike now its working properly. Hadnt ridden one before mine so didnt realise how strangled it was at the top end till now.

....Just in case anyone was after one for an upgrade, you don't see 'em often.

Nowt to do with me, just a heads up.

I'm toying with the idea of buying myself a second hand track bike. Just at the beginning investigation phase at the moment but have a couple of questions that could be a deal breaker. Hopefully you wise old foccers can help?

So, if I intended on having a race prepped bike that I SOLELY was going to use on track days (ie, using a trailer and car to deliver it there etc), do I need to have it MOT'd or insured at all?

The only way this could work for me would be if it didn't cost me any money (except for depreciation) whilst it wasn't being used in the garage.....thoughts on a postcard folks 

Anyone going to Assen for the BSB round in September?

Don't know whether to do Calais-Assen of Harwich.. anyone been before and got any recommendations?

Also thinking of taking the 17 yr old son and wondered what the camping was like. Last time I went it was a lads away weekend and we stayed in Gronegen and made our own entertainment....  :lol
