I have been looking at the new Norton website and was wondering if any of our friends in the UK have had the epleasure of driving any of the new Norton's? Seems they are not easily available over here in the US?

I thought I would share this information that was sent out from the company I work for that has to do with posting pictures on the web, since a lot of that goes on via this forum. " . . . inform you of a security risk that you or your friends and family members may be exposed to when...

Here's a website that sells Ural motorcycles in Ohio. But they also sell a pivot stand that mounts to the ends of each swingarm pivot bolt. The site says it fits the FZ1. Heindl Pivot Stand

Just looking out the window here at work. Snowing so bad here in the worst weather city in the country that our CEO sent an email out letting us all go at 3:00 PM, 2 hours early. But I was just wondering if anyone has ever been in a crash on a motorcycle or had any near misses. Personally I...

Last year I purchased some batteries online at B&H Photo in New York and I just received a call today from my credit card company saying someone tried to purchase two laptops and an ipod with my credit card. So beware if you do business with B&H Photo. Needless to say the purchases were...

I'm watching the olympics and they have women's curling on (like shuffle board). Can women curlers really be considered athletes? :cheers:

We sure seem to be good at keeping our bikes in shape. But what about the riders? What do you do to stay in shape? I try to work out 3 times a week, mostly with weights, but also with exercise bike and treadmill. And then some jogging once the darn Cleveland weather warms up.

Is it just me, but it seems like the show American Chopper has just about worn itself out? Same old thing, JR not getting along with SR, another "most high tech bike they've ever built", another over-priced corporate bike that will never really be ridden. :surrender::surrender:

I have a 2003 FZ-1 and recently cleaned and adjusted the chain. Not having a socket large enough, I took my best guess at tightening the rear axle nut to 108 ft lbs. Does anyone know what size socket goes on that nut so I can go to the auto parts store and buy one and then tighten it using...

A couple of days ago it was finally warm enough here in Cleveland to allow me to fire up my '03 bike for the first time this year. I keep it in my garage so it got pretty cold this past winter. After I got back from a short ride, I parked it on the sidestand and noticed oil leaking out of the...

I'm thinking about changing the front sprocket on my '03 FZ1. I'm not too interested in doing wheelies or drag strip launches, but actually slowing down the 'launch' so I can get a bit more out of first gear before having to shift into second. Has anyone replaced their front sprocket, and...

Does anyone out there wear any type of hearing protection while riding? I have the GYTR muffler on my 2003, and it is loud once the rpm's get up above 4000. While it may be beneficial to protect your hearing, I feel that it is also beneficial to hear what is going on around you.

This weekend is the Cycle World motorcycle show in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. I'm wondering if anyone else has attended prior shows and if they think it was worth the price of admission, which is $13 for adults, plus another $7 bucks just to park.

Has anyone ever drained the carbs on an older FZ1 in preparation for winter storage? Any tips would be helpful since this is my first year owning an '03.

Does anyone out there do a lot of wheelies on their bike? And what are your thoughts on the added wear and stress on the bike from doing wheelies?
