P & All,
Thanks for putting the house in order it will be better for all with locations in place that is what "group concept" is about.
I get a lot of help on US ebay sellers who will not go international on a sale. I know where they are so I look up who is in their state and Paypal them instead JOB Done.
I would & have done for the US crowd for stuff selling here in the UK.
I have met a number of UK FZR riders thro this forum and thoroughly enjoyed my time with them chatting all things bike & FZR. I for one am lucky most of the FZR's here in the UK are only a day away unlike you guys who are time zones apart.

Re: Newbies
In the main heading of the site pages there are 3 buttons "chat" "wiki" "gallery"delvryboy wrote:Whats the wiki?
Chat = chat room which like instant messaging to site members who check in there
Gallery = a place to put your own album of your bike pics and relavent pics for the WIKI
WIKI = a series of pages written by the members of this site who have information to share. This is written in WIKI syntax so if you are not able to cope writing a page yourself (it can be tricky) you ask me or any other Gear Head to do it for you
If you go explore you will find pages on HOW-To do common swaps / mods on FZR's
common diagnostic problems & maintenance.Common parts shared by FZR & other models. Calculators for valve shims & gearing & general bike performance
Sites of bike tech , yamaha specific sites, common tuning methods, recommended books about bike engineering, sites of interest to bikers.
PLUS references for the hobbyist engineer & engineering tech references in skills that relate to bikes in some way.
Also a list of DIY gadget URL's for the bike owner like a tilting workstand for the bike.
Take a look & enjoy you will be amazed at what is covered and if you find a reference missing it can always be ADDED

Re: Newbies
Well, one maintains a stiff upper lip, what! But one can only overlook the behaviour of such Johnny-come-lately's for so long. In the old days we would have invaded their country and stolen all the good bits as punishement, and maybe tortured them a bit as well

Whose line is it anyway. Or did it start in America? I think it started in the UK. Oh and thank you UK for Hugh Laurie.

Re: Newbies
I could NEVER for the life of me figure out what the big deal was with Benny Hill. My cousin, who was a few years older than me, always wanted to watch that show when we were kids. It was always the same thing - Benny Hill chasing bubbly, bouncy chicks around the room. Wait a minute... He was onto something there....Fartblood wrote:That's why UK sitcoms remade in the US aren't funny, except for The Office.
