Thanks guys

The guy wanted to fill my tank as payment but I said nah, pay it forward (cheesy movie quote). I said am sure you will do it for someone else one day.

Anyway he insisted he buy me a Pie while we were at the petrol station. I couldn't refuse that offer.

Hey Mates I am in New Zealand and was riding from the top of the South Island to Kaikoura (about 130kms). About 30 ks out from getting there I saw someone pushing his bike along the side of the highway. I pulled over to see if he was alright and the muppet had run out of petrol. Being the saint I am...

Hi All I have read a lot about the CCT failures. I believe there is a fix that you guys recommend? I have a 2003 VTR Firestorm with 12,000 km's on the clock. Do I need to worry about this issue? If so can someone please share the link with me as to where I can see how to do it. Thanks in advance! Da...

Ok cool, ta for that. Gives me an idea...

I much prefer a Japanese bike as they seem to be more reliable and far better built. Tuono was a lot of fun but very might maintenance....

Wow a blue flame will be awesome!

Yes I think your right, just enjoy it!

Used to get a jet of blue flames out of it lol!

Although the storm does sound a lot better! Just ENJOY ;-)

OK great stuff, thanks guys you have put my mind to rest.

I'm used to inline fours and you dont get those sounds.

Hey team I rode my newly acquired firestorm yesterday and it has a small backfire/pop sometimes when you close the throttle and sometimes when you reopen the trottle, at low speeds I think. My heart sank when I heard this because my Aprilia Tuono was bad for this and the bike mechanics never really ...

Hey everyone My name is Daniel Woodhouse and am from New Zealand, I hope you don't mind foreigners on your message board. Just got a 2002 model, red, scorpion pipes, only 11,000 k's (6800 miles). Had my first ride on it yesterday, very impressed with it, NOT impressed with the fact that on my maiden...
