Rolling road yesterday!
Went to the local bike show I had mentioned on the Wirral yesterday and threw my bike on the rollers. I had bought the bike in december and having not known what has been done to it other than the obvious JAC cans, I was really interested to find out what she was pulling. The guy before me put his t...

Re: sh**ty garage experience!
The thought of torching the place has crossed my mind, :wink: would never get my van back then! I did try the CAB the old woman who works there hasen't got a clue, spends hours just looking through huge manuals and books then tells me to write a polite letter to them! I may drive to the next nearest...

Re: 30 amp fuse blowing?
I have just fitted an R6 R/R to the bike, took about fifteen minutes and the bike seems to be spot on. The quality of the yami unit seems to be so much better than the stock Honda item, cant really understand why they got away with such a rubbish component in the first place? Seems strange, I have a...
