    My new bike. This time for real

    Hey all! So as I've mentioned numerous times already, I part exchanged my MT-09 for this: Very different as you would imagine but still a nice bike. Still a bit sad to not have my MT-09 but when I become nostalgic all I need to do is remember all the issues I've had with the bike and most...

    Is this a good price for part exchange?

    Hi all, Long time no see! I've been test riding a few bikes lately (S1000RR, ZX-6R 636 and GSX-R750) and have decided to get the Gixxer. Spoke to the dealer and they're offering me £5500 for my bike. Do you reckon it's a fair price or should I pay my outstanding finance and try to sell it...

    Insurance companies worth talking to (UK)

    Howdy all! Long time no see. I test rode the S1000RR last week and absolutely fell in love with it. Was about to put down a deposit for the last one they had in the showroom but obviously had to get a quote first. Called MCE (the ones I'm currently with) and after spending 40 minutes on the...

    Need legal medical advice

    Hi all, I posted this on another forum but would like to ask for help here too. Back in March I had a small surgery where a small piece of "soft tissue mass", as it says in the discharge, was cut off my toe. The doctor asked me if I wanted the specimen to be sent off to a laboratory for a...

    Snapped my tax disc holder

    I snapped the rubber tax disc holder thing when trying to get it off before washing the bike. Anyone knows where I can buy a quick replacement? Ideally I'd want to buy just the rubber ring as we're getting rid of tax disks in October anyway.

    WTF is that?!

    Was riding home today and suddenly started started smelling funny. I was following some chopper so obviously the first though I had is that it was that POS. Then we parted our ways and the stench continued so it became obvious that it was me. Arrived home, decided to sniff around, walked to the...

    Noisy clutch

    Hey all! Shot a short clip today with how my clutch sounds: http://youtu.be/wmjnjOoPZT8 Is yours the same if you pull it half way in? On a side note, you can see my T-Rex engine covers and tampons if it's of any interest :)

    Curious, how much I'd get for my bike if I sold it now

    As the topic title says - how much would my bike fetch if I was to sell it now? Got a few protectors installed and a radiator guard. Stock pipe and 2100 miles. I'm getting seriously close to doing that as it seems that Yamaha doesn't give a s**t about their customers. I already posted my...

    Bought Sidi B2 Gore-Tex Boots today (plus some more stuff)

    Took a trip down to my local J&S Accessories today and treated myself to a new Alpinestars GP Plus leather jacket, some RedRoute kevlar jeans with hip protectors and Sidi B2 Gore-Tex boots. Went there with an intention to buy the RST CPX-C jacket but they didn't have in stock so I decided to...

    Finally met another MT-09'er!

    Today, for the first time since I bought the bike back in November I met someone else riding it in London! It was a race blu with akra, flyscreen and radiator guards as much as I managed to notice. He stopped next to me and said "Nice number plate!" to what I replied "Thanks! You have a nice...

    The kids' corner, *cough*, our sister site

    Just had a quick browse on our MT-07 sister site. Looks like there's another community of MT'ers forming. People already modding their bikes, test riding them. Kind of cool to see that. Just felt like saying :)

    Now that I'm hooked on bikes...

    ...is it wrong to want a litre bike? I can't stop thinking about buying myself some 5-6 year old litre bike just to have two bikes with totally different characters. I love the looks of the Fireblade or a Gixer: I can afford one (especially on a finance) but should I... I know that the...

    The Youtube videos thread

    There's a cool thread going on on one of the Fireblade forums (been going on since 2011 and has about 250 pages of videos) and I thought it might be a good idea to start one here. Post anything funny or sad (doesn't have to be related to motorcycles) that you've found online recently and share...

    Best things about being single

    Found quite an interesting thread on reddit called "What is the best thing about being single?". Interesting read. I must say being single myself I agree with most of the things people are saying. What do you think? Especially all you married/imprisoned people :)

    A smoother than STD?

    This morning I was a bit bored and decided to switch to the A mode just for a change. I usually ride in STD as A just feels a tad too snatchy for my liking and seeing how both these modes have the same amount of power there's just no point in using A in the city. How surprised I was to realise...

    Name and shame - The Dark Side Of UK

    Seeing how we have a thread to name and praise dealers, why not have a name and shame thread so that we can warn others about our bad experiences. I don't think this should be disallowed as this is a free world we're living in and I personally don't see anything wrong with informing other people...
