center stand is great for cleaning / servicing. But I suppose if you are cleaning it it's in the shed anyway so one can just wheel it onto track stands. When I get silly I'll be removing my center stand because dork. But not until I have a track stand secured. Get the XJ6. They looks...

Well I went and visited a vineyard :cool:

Want better handling? Buy some good boots :P I lashed out on some second hand SIDI's the other day, heck you feel more comfortable resting wait on either side of the bike through a corner, There is more grip on the pegs, and you feel more secure with your leg floating over the side of the...

Its a lovely looking circuit too! ahhh What fun you poms must have.

well sure, already have, but since the rear set is huge, and continue as a single piece, why not just chop it off a few cm's after the securing bolts? But anyway. we are atlking about grams here. honestly.. pfffft Still fun is fun, even if it is psychological

Hey this is good to know Is there a wiki someone is keeping about all this? From what I can gather there have been a few interested in getting those better brakes onto our steeds. *goes shopping for a busted thundercat*

Well hello from Australia again. You know I had my Red Xj6 up all ready sale, then the Victorian government went and introduced this new "GLS" bullshit, meaning a new rider like myself is limited to the "lams" approved, or (A2 for you poms) bikes for 3years now instead of 1. Not that I...

Track days on my XJ As mentioned, in trying to accelerate quickly, one should have that front wheel just hovering off the road. Honestly not going to set the world on fire with my Xj, but when my skill increases and my bike gets bigger, having control of these simple skills will be to my...

:D those vids where awesome hahah In defense of the humble wheelie. I'm teaching myself in mind to ensure I have the quickest acceleration possible whilst on the track. Knowing where the balance is before the front wheel leaves the ground is relatively important at the start of races. I'm...

Even when they aren't moving they still look cool :P a 2009 Diversion Xj6 where the Bikini fairing lines up with the seat and frame.

Who doesn't want a low res pocket cam grey-scale flared out image of an xj6 in front of a dam. :P Ride was great, luggage was great, If you have a chance to visit the Grampians, you will have a ball. Surface was honestly very good. Sorry I went for a ride with a tent and basic gear...

Well it ain't pretty but boy it works. (see attached) What we have here is that Ventura Rack and an Euro Rally bag. Honestly that bag is plenty big, to give you and idea here is a list of what that other image shows; This was not packed carefully but jammed in mind you and it includes; 3...

no, you are not silly, I'm a scardy cat wimpy wimp! :D I'll pull anything apart with 4 wheels, but with my legs / head / chest acting as a crumple zone, well I'm getting soft in my old age :p

Honestly, any decent exhaust shop would cut and weld for you.. I've used premier exhausts in South Yarra before when I needed some metal welded onto a exhaust header of a Peugeot 504 :P

Are you alright.. I can't tell which side you hit :S Whats that exhaust like. And that givi rack... Heck I would have loved that 2 weeks ago! Did you get rid of it all already. #edit.. looking more closely I can see the bent rack.... eeep What happened? ##edit edit. Sorry saw the other...

My lump was due for a 20k service. They quoted $675 and extra $$ for brakes and radiator being flushed (if needed, which they were) Anyway go to pick it up and it's all done squared away for $600 odd bucks. Ah ye old under promise and over deliver. :D Either way, I'll let you know if...

Well the bag arrived, and I feel a little less bad about spending $150 on a piece of luggage. The zips are protected, the whole things smells like a petrol truck which means it should be a little water resistant, and yes it comes on and off in seconds, and doesn't look as super ugly as I...

So that makes sense. Resting it (a 90L bag) on the side panniers seems fine. Anyway, Not that any of you are interested but I'll let you know what this $150 bag is like when it turns up :o

Well I've decided I'll just get one of those Ventura bags. They seem to hold there second hand value well so if It's no good I'll flick it on. I made a mock up with an old school port of all things and It will look a bit ridiculous, but hay it's luggage. This attached image sold me...

hey that's good to know. I'll have me a look.
