Yeah, DJ watch out for the muppets on Grand Prix weekend.
The squids come out to play.
Your right, don't need to see that before this weekend......or maybe a timely reminder.
See you there.

........any ideas?.........or is this the recently announced F800?

..I heard... instead of the last of the 1200's, the new R will be the first of the 1300's!

His bike looks great with them...and I think they looks so much better than the K mirors...IMHO I also changed to these mirrors and they give a larger field of view and i think look better than the stock "Mickey Mouse" ears.....I mean mirrors! They sit lower and a sleeker and i think the ...

Remember at the track day at Broadford earlier in the year, one of the k1200 bikes came in at the end of the session with his rear plastic cover melted and smoking(different brake). He had apparently over-adjusted the free play on the pedal to zero? Could this have happened? i haven't done any adju...

Wow, thanks for the detailed review of the very stylish FJR1300.
I have always liked this bike but your list of new features certainly makes it worth another look.
Not that i am looking for another bike but if i was, this would be top of the list. The lower price certainly adds to the equation.

Marko, have you got your bike back yet, you poor old sausage ..got it back today, spick and span and with a new front tyre and full 40000 service....4000 earlier than expected. Now i think of it, my rear has been locking up rather easy, so i think the pads have been getting stuck on the disk. Have ...

Sorry to hear about your mate and i pray he recovers. As much as i hate to hear these stories, it shows that even the best can come to grief and reinforces for me the message to be careful, and be aware. I am becoming more cautious as i get older (I think we all do) but on a bike you take a risk on ...

Actually, i like it....i like it a lot.....As a piece of sculpture........ i wouldn't ride it.

Hey marko...I heard that it was gas that ignited when it got near your glowing hot disc...what had you been eating the night before???..... Laughing

DJ, I'll just go check the inside of my leathers and let you know..........

I know the 02's burn easier!!!
(see "My bike caught fire" thread)

......the 05 is newer.......

Mine shines more to the right than the left.
I would imagine all Brit, Australian left side driving bikes would do this to illuminate the centre of the road and vice versa for you wrong side of the road types!.

Thanks guys, yes it could have been a lot uglier. I had only been on the bike 1/2 hour so a bit mystified by the overheating angle. I must admit, i have never been comfortable with what to do with the right foot......near the brake, resting to the right etc, thanks Darth for the tips. Needless to sa...

Left about 8.30 this morning to meet up with some riders to go to Broadford for the historic bike meeting. Coming to a Freeway off ramp i noticed my rear brake was not there (No resistance at all) and got to the lights and smelt something awful. I notice the guy in the car behind me run up and point...

and did my business in the left case...

This could not be good for the case either.......doesn't it stain

(How very French of you)

Mr Sheen is that good, i no longer use soap in the shower.
I just spray on Mr Sheen and polish and gets me all slippery and shiny!

In fact.......i don't even shower. Just spray on the Mr Sheen!

(People are commenting i have never looked cleaner......or shinier...)

15 minute install time. 14 minutes for the first side and one minute for the second side

........unless you start from the second side first.....
