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

Not sure if this has been posted before, but this is a software program that lets you stick routes into a tomtom or garmin GPS unit, and the website is a community of bikers who create interesting routes and share them.


Oh, and the creator's a biker ;-)

Hi Foccers,


here's one for you: riding into the EU, what's needed?


I've found a lot of conflicting informations saying you need a GB sticker and some saying not.
Also headlight beam deflectors, are they necessary? I've noticed that on the 04-06 FZ6 the dipped beam points down to the left.


Anything else that I should take special care of?

Anyone had experience of the mobile vans that film you head on coming towards them?

Just curious, there was one in front of me this morning parked up in a laybay,,,,,,, :\

:eek

Hi All,

I bled my rear brakes over the weekend and one of the bleed nipple rubber covers is missing, does anyone have a spare one I could have please?

When I turn the handlebars my front suspension makes a creaking noise that seems to be getting worse, anyone come across it before? Lack of lube?

anyone know where i can get some reflective tape or paint from ?
ideally i'd like it to be dark coloured (as my bike is black) but thats not essential.
want to give the cagers as little excuse as possible for running into me !
thanks

just back from a 545 mile 2 day trip loving this bike  :lol :lol
