Never again will I use a dealer again!
Went to Jordans bikes for some new spark plugs , (ngk cr9e), for my gen1 1000 and they charged me £33.96 for 4.I am going to fit them tomorrow so I bought them even though I could get them off ebay for £10 less. I know dealers have overheads that ebay sellers don`t have but unless they start to compete more on price there won`t be any dealers in business in a few years.

I ride a '58 plate FZ1 Fazer and have had it for around 18 months during which it has beeen faultless. Last Tuesday, however, I went into town and found it had developed a weird misfire. When moving from a standing start or when filtering on a closed throttle, then opening up there was a severe miss as the engine virtually stopped then picked up, then stopped and picked up again before flying off up the road. Disconcerting! If the revs are anything over closed throttle (ie 1800rpm) there is no problem. Had the fairings and tank off to see if a connector was making/breaking, especially the throttle position sensor, vac pipe adrift etc but couldn't see anything so opened them up sprayed with WD and reconnected all the ones I could see (except ECU) and went for a ride. Got to the end of the street, still the same. BTW plugs changed about 2k ago. Any ideas gratefully received before it goes to Mr Yamaha and my wallet takes a beating. No fault codes on the dash either. Baffled!
Ta very much in anticipation.

Full MOT and road tax history. Just put brand new Bridgestone 020 (£136) on the back and this has done just 60miles. Spent over £600 on a service, new fork seal and major carb clean out this year. Extremely rare to find an original one as good as this with ALL paperwork. [/font]
[font=]Dealers would love to have this on the forecourt at £1995/£2195 as they don't come up very often with this mileage and in such excellent condition. and they sell quickly. I would rather sell privately so a FOC member does not have to pay dealer mark up.[/font]

[font=]Why am I selling? Am 50 years old and want to buy a Gen 1 Fazer 1000 before I get too old![/font]

father xmas is delivering a tablet pc which apparently has a
Memory
- 2GB SD Built In
- Micro SD card Expandable upto 32GB
- 256MB RAM
does this mean i need to buy a 30GB sd card to use the exsisting 2 giving me 32, as they only seem to come in 2,8,16 and 32 or can i buy a 32 and it will only use 30 of it and the 2 thats already lurking in it somewhere (expect more silly questions on xmas day when the box is open)
oh and another thing, should father xmas plug it in and charge it, before xmas day so its ready to go, or is the fun of waiting for it to bleep and tell you its ready to use all part of the fun of the day ??

I've now got more or less everything I need to start fixing up the bike apart from the nose fairing, inner black surround and bracket to hold same. Would prefer to put plastics back on the bike rather than a fiberglass fairing but don't to pay whats no doubt silly money for new ones. On the off chance anyones done a street fighter mod and has the bits (maybe even the headlight aswell). Its the 'fox eye' model in blue but any colour would do.

could be in trouble for this one,
got caught by a camera an on the 3rd of December on the A64 making a dash for the services with the wife as her IBS was playing up and she needed the toilet, don't have long when this happens didn't realise how fast i was going as the traffic was keeping up with me but was clocked at 100mph :'( so I think I am going to get a beating for this, all I can hope is that they take my previous record into account as I have never been done for speeding, or any other traffic offence before, we will see
