Anyone got a fork leg or two for one of these things? My numptie pal has
binned his SV yet again (this time he T-boned a car which had pulled out on
him, complete with SMIDSY).
Fairing's a bit battered but repairable, but at least one fork stanchion is

I've just sold my GSX1100F and looking for a Blackbird, ~£2000 to spend.
I've tried a Bindit, but not impressed.  Sat on a Busa and a Grixer, but
they where too small. I'm 6'3" with long legs and a beer gut, what other
bikes could I consider?

How long does it take for fuel to go manky?
I ask because my gixxer has been laid up on the optimate for the past
few months due to a combination of crap weather, work commitments and
spending all my spare time trying to get my recently acquired Morini

any suggestions for getting a load of black crud off the rims of
spoked wheels, where the previous owner of a bike clearly hasn't

Hi everyone,
I've been fortunate enough to be able to arrange to go to the San
Marino MotoGP (round 13) this year at Misano. I am travelling through

30 seconds of Googling have produced no insight, so what's the difference

this one http://tinyurl.com/34dtps, despite being a newer model with 5,000

Just got back from a corporate freebie Rolling Stones concert ... I am now
almost deaf :)
On a side note those guys don't half look old now.

From Bandit 600...
I want something a little bigger, but just as chuckable and as much fun. I
have a FJ1200 before: mad in a straight line but didn't like corners (or
stopping).

There's something dragging me kicking & screaming towards one. Just
got back from the great Yorkshire Bike show & I just can't them out of
my head.
Go on then, what are Ducatis really like to live with?

I was out running errands today, I was on the access road to the
expressway behind a small truck traveling about 10 mph. He pulled to the
far right side of the road and I thought he was letting me go by. As I
pulled along side, he cut to the left which I was not expecting.

Cheers to whoever mentioned this first; downloaded and burned the first
season, and it's utterly fascinating, if repetitive and fanciful.
I absolutely *cannot* get into Hugh Laurie's septic accent, but
otherwise it's a cut above.  The medical drama doesn't hold my attention

Can you do this on yours?

Well, I've had my car license for 5 minutes now, so obviously I've
