    What did you do to your FZ today?

    Osup! I feel your pain, spent 7 hours in the rain returning from Mallacoota yesterday, went through 4 pairs of gloves but the Tiger Angel suit kept the rest of me dry. We must be nuts.

    i lost my best friend

    This is almost beyond belief, I could not watch the whole video. I am sure that your family will look after those poor children but that does not bring back their Mum and Dad. Sometimes we pay a heavy price for doing what we love, I hope in the end it is worth it. God bless.

    Not FZ1, but tragic for a fellow rider

    How often we forget these wonderful folk who give their time to honor those who have given their lives for their Country. May he rest easy among the souls of those he honored and may his family, though devastated, be ever so proud of him. As we say in Australia "Lest we forget"

    Joke of day.

    In the 1960s a Pan Am 707 was flying into Hamburg Germany with a Captain who had previously flown the Asian routes. Unfamiliar with the Taxiways at that Airport he radioed the Hamburg tower and asked for taxiing directions once he had landed. An arrogant and superior German Ground Controller...

    2011 Ninja 1000 or yamaha FZ1??

    That alone would keep me off the Kawasaki, a magic machine it is but I put it next to a Duke as a pure track suited bike. Just my impressions and I have only done a test ride on the Kawaka.

    headaches and suspension

    Aussie I have been riding for in excess of 48 years and have never had that problem but there could be any number of reasons. My first bit of advice is SEE A DOCTOR! Do not muck around with your head or neck, it could be anything from stress, helmet fit, helmet weight, riding position, your...
