Me and my daughter joined the BMF part of the Foc-u, For those that don't know we try to do a couple of BMF shows each year to promote FOC-u and have a blast doing it.
There are a number of benefits from joining but one that neither I nor my daughter expected just happened.

I got sent a link about a trial BMF are doing on some bikes for their next magazine.
one of the trials if for ppl that have recently passed their 33bhp test and are or have recently moved up from a 125.
well my daughter has in the last few months passed and moved to an er5 so sent her the link and she jumped at the chance.
She just got excepted and will be given a brand new bike (they wont tell her what one) for 4 days next weekend followed by a photo shoot and article in the mag. she is over the moon at the thought of getting her hands on a new bike lol
and all this made possable by being part of the foc-u bmf affiliation

I have the Samsung Galaxy S at the moment. Phone works well most of the time apart from teh occasional lock up which is probably more related to keeping it in my pocket. The problem is network coverage. I am with 3 and most of the time this is OK but I stay regularly at a hotel in Huntingdon where there is fec all signal on 3 (my phone) or Orange (works phone) so looking to move to O2 (vodafone on works dongle is crap too).
Should I just go for a SIM only contract and keep the Galaxy S or get a new phone?

Been looking at the Galaxy S2, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4S but cant make up my mind. I do use the Wifi Hotspot thing for laptop/iPad access that the Android phones have so if iPhones dont do this, they are out of the mix. Any suggestions?

In another post I referred to my lovely girlfriend, Joanne (negates camp comments by not using Jo) as being 'possibly' the future Mrs Madley and have received stick for this ever since. I would like to confirm that I am very pleased to announce that 'Jo' has agreed to marry me.
Now that's me out of the crap time to save for that ring. :lol :lol :lol

Thought it only polite to introduce myself. Hello people, my name is Darren, I live in kent and have recently been bitten again with the bike bug after over 20 years away after a friend lent me his hornet  for a week. Have had many bikes in the past from motocross to 350 & 500 powervalves  & a gpz 1000 rx. I work on the London underground as a protection master/site person in charge and am an ex-bootneck. Came across this site only last month and think i'll stick around for a bit. Ride Safely 

Hi,
Hopefully I will soon pass my DAS and will then be able to use my 2003 fzs600 that I recently acquired. Got my theory booked for next week then DAS ASAP. I've been a 125 rider for since 17 (now 27) so ive done a few cbt's, so hopefully shouldn't find the big test to bad.

One question I have is I saw a video on YouTube about changing the dash light colour but since I watched it have been unable to find again and was wondering if someone could tell me what bulbs are needed or a link to the video? Thanks

I've finally managed to sort all the details for the Andover Bash on the 22nd - 24th June 2012. Business as usual for those that have been before.
Arrivals welcomed after 2pm on the Firday and go whenever sorted on the Sunday. The cost has been kept to only £8,50 hoping to get a good turnout, I would appreciate day guests paying £5 towards the event. Paypal is the easiest way to pay for the attendance.
Food will be available on Friday evening, Breakfasts Saturday and Sunday morning, evening hot food on the Saturday and snacks during the day. Tea and coffee etc. available all day.
It would be nice to see a few new faces, as well as the regulars. It is very important to keep in touch with old friends and make new.
Please see attached form. One is a field form and the other not as there were difficulties last year  operator error I reckon.
Please e-mail the form back to me at the address provided on the form. Ta.
Any questions, please ask.
Address is
Andover Rugby Club. SP11 0TA.

Firstly, sorry to start another thread on EXUP valves.

Whilst talking to a friend about EXUP valves he mentioned he has a spare (complete exhuatst actually) from an 06 Fazer, which he thinks is a fuel injected one (sounds right to me).

Would the EXUP valve from the Gen2 pipe fit my 02 Gen1?
Would the downpipes fit my Gen1?
Any other parts work stealing for the Gen1 from a Gen2 pipe?

Searched the 'net for info but all I can find for the EXUP valve is that they work differently (It seems the Gen1 has the EXUP for more power and the Gen2 for sound reasons, there is one reference that the EXUP valve is the same and the solenoid is different (but that is just from a bulletin board!).

Thanks in advance.

I'm compiling a list of recently sold 600 Fazers and came across this.  I don't recall the Mk1 in this blue (looks like the Mk2 blue).  Am I right?

Got horribly pissed last night having been out for curry and beers. When we got home we decided to play scrabble and in a moment of drunken madness I decided to swallow a handful of pieces. Well the curry's pushing through now so I'm off for a toilet visit............
