on a Sachs 800 thing. you could see him looking at the gravel, not at the road before he crashed ......ever........so..........gently.
and it was not like he was going fast either!

Not only got see one in the flesh for the first time but was also kindly allowed to sit in a DeLorean!


Didn't ask where the Flux Capacitor was. I got the impression he'd been asked MANY times before  :lol

hey there.....I passed my bike test just over a month ago and bought myself a fazer fz1 the very next day.....this was totally against the advise of friends and collegues telling me to start out with a lower cc bike.....but what can I say?.....I saw it, I sat on it, I loved it and I bought it!! The power of the thing scares the living daylights out of me, and so far I haven't been able to get out on it much due to the weather, but I can't wait for summer, and I'm already looking to kit it out ready for touring on next year.

After searching for a long time, I found a free sky 1 feed on wiziwig.tv  or wiziwig.eu    the one below is currently working good for sky 1 coverage.  Beats having to pay extra to watch it on TV.  You get ads popping up on some feeds,  but they will close when you click on the x button.    Not as good as tv,  but good enough for me !

Hi everyone, been lurking for a while but thought I'd stick up an introduction post.  Bought a 2001Y FZS600 this morning as my first bike - not got my licence yet but have my mod 2 test on Friday 
The headlight will be going and the standard faring/lights back on - not too keen on it as it is and for a commuter the screen will be useful.  The faring is split on both sides but a bit of fiberglass, some sandpaper and a rattlecan will see it right  :lol

Decided to give my calipers a good clean today, pushed the pistons out, cleaned and applied red grease on the pistons fitted old pads back on etc.

i noticed the front wheel is slightly stiffer than what it originally was and after riding the discs do get hot (not scolding hot but hot enough to make it uncomfortable after a while. (Read somewhere this is perfectly normal so the brakes work in the wet  [img alt=:]http://images.proboards.com/rolleyes.gif[/img])

So riding home i was plodding along at 60mph some focus coastering behind me for ages then he wizzes past me flashing his hazards?

i'm thinking when i refitted the pads i never put them in the old positions hence the extra friction?

Still looking for a mint low mileage foxeye FZR1000RU EXUP 1994 -96
I've seen a few on Ebay lately, not what I'm after unfortunately, but if you know someone........?
