Hi Droid,

They know me personally in the Tamworth Branch! If you mention Richard with the GS500, they'll know exactly who I am.

I bet you go to Bassett's pole don't you?

I do the office/commute every day. used to try to wear the shirt/tie/troosers under the gear, but always ended up looking like i'd been dragged through the hedge when i got to work. Now I always fold the good stuff neatly, and pack in my handy rucksack, and change at work. Just allow yourself an ex...

Is there anyone out there who commutes on their bike who also has to wear a suit to work? I have water-proof overtrousers but the problem is that if I ride in heavy rain or the roads are quite dirty, the bottoms of my trousers get a bit wet/dirty. This has never been a problem before as I have alway...

Cupasoop, you've changed your picture! Noooooooooooo! I loved that picture of Bender from Futurama - He is the best. If I ever watch that, he reminds me of you!! .....And now all that has changed :( PS: I've not had any emails to tell me about the 3 replies to this thread. Any idea why? PPS: I have ...

Just wondered if anyone on here is using Windows Me on their pc and having trouble with it? My pc has it and I am always having bother with it. I have heard that it is the most problem-causing, trouble-making, freezing-up, crashing windows in Microsoft history. eg: You've only got to type something ...

yes, cool

Cheers Pete.L - just tried it. (then deleted the post) Now I know what to do.

If anyone has a problem with their CCT or just has any worries about this particular bug-bear, I have found a great pic of a cross-section of a Firestorm engine (it's been disected) which clearly shows the cam chain, the gears that drive the cams, the tensioner and it's spring housing (as well as th...

I suppose £67 isn't too bad once per year or two, but 5 hours fitting? Sounds like a nasty awkward job

If it's only the spring that goes and they are cheap or cheap-ish, then surely, it would be worth changing them once a year or once every six months?

I can now blow my mates zx12 up to 70 - not a lot left after that though

Anything that can blow a ZX12 up to 70 must be good!

Looks like choice of bars has a big bearing on how much you need to chop the fairing. I had to cut mine right up to the mirror mounting holes to clear my mx renthals. Picked up a bellypan today so stage two starts this week where we add some colour to the beast! A healthy dose of bright yellow shou...

As for riding position, newer bikes have higher bars - almost as comfy as a VFR, slightly more 'on it' but all day comfortable if you relax across the shoulders. Almost as comfy as a VFR? That sounds good as I do think they are a nice bike with a great riding position (but too much for me + expensi...

That was a comment I made a while ago.

I was close then (I knew that dragon had some significance!)

Bought the bike from Streetbike in Halesowen. No idea what their after sales is like, I do my own servicing. Streetbike eh? What a coincidence - guess where I was today? That's right - Streetbike! (Great selection of bikes) Gotta say - the SV650 impressed me a lot (que the abuse! :twisted: ). Very ...
