Welcome to the mad-house. Only thing I would say about riding a big twin compared to a buzzy four pot is watch that engine braking, it's insane! I remember when I first got mine coming from a CBR600F, I went off down a local lane, and did what I used to do on the 600... dropped it a cog entering thi...

Howdy, I'm a newbie myself, but they seem to be a friendly bunch.

Good to see you've got the best colour

Suzuki

Paint colour? :wink: I had the original (rather damaged) silver wheel side by side with the B-Bird wheel... I got the callipers (as in measuring, not brakes) out and measured everything I could. Everything was the same bar the paint finish. More importantly, the discs mount on the holes, the origina...

I'm half tempted to stick the crazy yellow thing on a trailer and bring it up and have you lot service, set it all up and clean it for me :biggrin The cleaning will take a while, she's been laid up for an embarrassingly long time, and rather dusty. On the plus side, I think I might have the lowest m...

OOOOOH! Not fair! I'd love to come and join in, but alas Banana isn't going to be ready by then, need tyres before I can even think of visiting an MOT station. I'll have a look in the ride-out section though, I might still pop into the workshop via the 4 wheel box transport if that's permitted :wink:

Hi Carl, The "leave me stranded" situation is one of the things about fitting the alarm myself I like... I fit it, I know how it's connected and where the wires run, so I will know how to by-pass it. To anyone else it'll be a mysterious collection of black wires, but I'll know :wink: My ca...

Hiya... I've just signed up tonight, but feel I must assist my fellow banana owner!

Plus of course having seen all the other comments, I'm now paranoid about the CCTs!

Jeez, what have you started!

I'll throw in a little contribution if you don't mind... When I wrecked my front wheel I had the devil's own job finding another, all the blade owners were buying up all the 17" VTR front wheels or something! So I went and looked at a Blackbird front, guess what... Fits! The discs swap straight...

Hi guys (and maybe girls?), Thanks for the great welcome... Should have known better than to ask about tyres, all I'll end up with is even more options! :Beer Popcorn: Re security, I know what you mean about scum with a van, don't worry, it'll be physically locked down to. There are some nice metal ...

Hi, Really should have signed up here years ago, but somehow I didn't. But I'm here now! :D I'm the happy owner of an '02 plate 'storm FY (yes, I know, very old stock!). No idea why it sat about unsold so long, the bright yellow isn't that scary really... The insects certainly seem to love it when I...
