    So a commercial plane got shot down...

    ...And there is no thread or discussion on it? Seems weird such a massive thing can happen that has got the world on edge, yet there is no discussion on it. Or am I just missing the thread? Virtually no Americans were on it so has it not received any media coverage over there?

    DJ/Dance Music Thread

    So seeing as you Americans have discovered the 90's and dance music (largely thanks to Dubstep) I thought I would start a thread dedicated to this. So let's discuss songs, DJ's, trends or post up your own originals or mixes. This could just be me and kevin8198 but I sure there are others...

    Cashed up Bogans

    First.. Let me translate that Aussie-ism for you... Whilst not perfect the Urban Dictionary will do: Over the last 10 to 15 years Australia has gone through a fairly massive resources boom. This boom has allowed us to largely be isolated from the fallout of the GFC as we are riding the...

    Another exodus

    Has come time that I think I have out grown my FZ6R. I had been in two minds over what I wanted to do with it for a while. I eventually settled and thought if I mod it to how I like I would be happy enough. So did the usual 2 Bros exhaust & JB, FE, mirrors and flushmounts. While this...

    What are you listening to right now? (with links)

    Just realised, of the multiple forums I go to, this is about the only one without this thread. Until now.... Don't be a lazy bastard now. Provide a link so we can give it a listen. Youtube is ideal but what ever you got. So saying that I am going to kick this off with the current kings of the...

    Isle of Man TT story

    This is a story about the Isle of Man TT that was recently televised on a local current affairs show. Great story of an amazing race. So much history, so many deaths... Not telling how many, watch for yourself. The reporter is an ex touring car champion in our local racing series V8 Supercars...

    Awesome Mirrors.... But so damn expensive

    I too am looking to replace my mirrors. Now that I have the flushmounts on the standard mirrors really stand out as looking a little awkward. It seems like none I can find on eBay for a decent price would look right. I bought some like these to get the extra indicator on the front to keep the...

    Oil light come on (for no reason?)

    Tuesday night I was riding back from Rockhampton (about an hour and a half by car, hour by bike :D)fairly late at night. About 3/4 of my way home my oil light came on. I pulled over and had a look as best I could by the light of my iPhone. Everything seemed in order. But the light stayed on...

    Is this indicative of Americans taking their girlfriend/daughter for a ride?

    Can someone post up a pic for me?

    Can someone post up a pic of their Two Brothers exhaust manifold at the header end? I am not sure if mine is seated right. Seems to be too far out and as I tighten the nuts the bracket seems to be bending. Plus I already broke one of the studs yesterday over-tightening it. Don't wish to do it...

    Where's your Juice Box/PCV?

    I know I could find this info by trawling 30 different threads or low and behold using the search.... But I thought for my sake and all those who follow it might be beneficial to have this info in the one thread. My Juice Box was put in the mail to me yesterday, and hopefully the exhaust...

    ATGATT Safety Video

    Warning: These videos are graphic In Australia the government started using quite shocking and confrontational health and safety ads. These range from smoking, domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse and road safety. Here's one that is kinda relevant to us, although this is talking about...

    Please help me a picture?

    Just wondering if anyone with an XJ6 could post up a photo of their throttle body? The reason I ask is I have an FZ6R. In Australia they have limited the throttle movement on this bike to fit into learner rider regulations. What I want to do is de-restrict my bike. Below is a pic of my...

    Hello from Australia

    Hi, my name is Darryl. I live in Gladstone, Queensland, Australia (am I the first Aussie?) I have just purchased my first ever bike, an XJ6F (more commonly known here as FZ6R). Mine is the White/Magenta one, which must be a new colour scheme for 2010 as I don't see any of them in the member...
