Alex-Corsa

You have to also know that changing fok oil every year or so is essensial, old oil can oxidise and blow up seals and or damage the fork more.I do change the fron fork's oil every year. I guess that perhaps the same applies to the rear shock? but I have not done anything to the rear yet , should i get it to a suspension workshop? Dunno but my WP works fine I have this WP fork an I still have the seals after 15K km, I just change oil every 12K or once a year.My suspencion mechanic says this is a must to extend seals life and of cource fork's performance Dunno though what's 'normal' for öhlins

Yes this ,materazzi thing, looks like a gang junkie and apparenltly acts like one as well.He just spoils the beauty of the sport ,and , hmm, deserves the worst. Well of cource ,i can imagine that after all that good he offered to football in those years, he could even piss on this little junkie right there in the middle of the field and still has hie name intact....lol. Zidane has made a name and a carrer that most players have not even dreamed about. I agree , In my country is said about that, Latins=Cretins. IMO Italians are not so much of latins, but they do get play dirty sometimes(and that's not a mentality that originates in mediteranean tribe(s) ) France dominated most of the match and should have won the cup , but in football all what it counts at the end is who scores the most goals, and that penalty shotout has to do with luck as well and not only skils.

Their differences in the wet are small according to that test.That to me is a just reliable guide, best test is , personally,on the road. But then again the Sport Diablos(how many versions are there?) I have tested were quite disspointing (to me and the conditions I drive, and also as well, the 'older' Dragon GTS) It is also shown here on the sport results. Should have listened to them ..lol.

What is your opinion about the Z6s , you have tried them so far, I think , right? This tyre has dominated the touring tyre tests from MOTORRAD since it first came out. P.S. I forgot , yes the Z6 came in stock with the 1100Breva and the M1 was also first 'factory' tyre for the Cafe racer.

You can see it in the pic...lol He ia almost "riding" the other player.. AND the refery whistled it. If the violation is inside the area, is a penalty, simple football rules and since it was whistled from the reffery that was a penalty .period I don't whine and I don't care ,and i don't do my remarks for something that could or should have been whistled.(cause it was) the only difference is that inside area whistled violations go to the 12 step mark for execution And at the end I am Greek and my national team is Greece. We won the 2004 cup and busted many teams including the Frensh and the Portugese (x2) and the Chzehs ,in official matches Aside that one or other, teams played well here and there.After the 90min. Itally risked and won, very well done.. And BTW neither the penalty given in 93 with Australia was anything , but be as it may... LOL

I seriously doupt about the materials. I do believe they're different so is the bahaviour of the tire.In few months I'll be able to answer this by personal experience. Till than that's what I hear form magazines and people who sell them or tried them.(different behaviours of the tires)

It all depends on where and how you ride and what you want . The M1 is an excelling tire have tried it myself , but now Metzeler has made the M3 that get warmer quicker BUT retains a stable temprature , unlike the M1 that can get too warm. The rubber material is different and Metzeler claims an up to 30% more kms than the M1 (always with better grip) Both in dry and wet. About the grip this is also confirmed in the German Motorrad magazine and their critics on tires were always very true to me in real life conditions. TEST Metzeler catalogue. RESULTS http://www.metzelermoto.de./media/me_flyer_1.pdf Actually the rennsport isn't at all recomended for the wet (it is a dry track tyre)and not the best option for the street. In the touring class the Z6 roadtec (according to Motorrad) beats the competors of this by far and is entering the "sport" tyres area. TouringTyresResults Explanation Handlichkeit=Handling Lenkprazision=Steering presision Haltung Kurven= Grip-hold in the turns Haftung Beschleunigung= Grip in acceleration Kurvenstabilitaet= Stabiliti inside a turn. Grenzbereichverhalten=Behaviour at the limits of the tire Aufstellmoment= behaviour of the motorcycle inside a turn when in brakes Nusstest = Wet test. Have not tried them but is my next pair. (along with the M3) After my unhappy experiences with Pirelli Michelin and Metzeler make the best motorcycle tyres perhaps you don't have to look any further.

Why not you get a grip and look at the video to see where was the foul- (penalty ) made. To my opinion it wasn't much of hard play to be "whistled" anyway from the reffery, but since he did it he should have given a penalty in 82' instead of a foul, it was clearly done inside the 'keeper area.

I doupt that, we beat them twice in 2004 Euro Cup , once at the premiere and once at the final matches, and won the cup, they have still the same team only 2 years older,so I don't see anything special in this team, though in football anything is possible.

They (bmw) had a succsessfull yellow in their previus S bike. There is also a black model in ,that I preffer more cause it makes the shape of the bike smaler, well here are all the color combinations for this bike. Well, bikes are a matter of taste in all the aspects they give, I believe. I second thought about it cause of it's sporty character without being extreme , very atractive to me is the tech extras that this bike (as heared) has, like the abs , the fuel management , instuments and so on.It is reliable (I guess) I am not in a hurry to get a new bike but for sure something like this is on my wish list for a 2nd bike in the near future. The rest I have to see at my BMW dealer sooner or later if possible get a test ride. How would you compare it to the V11 in drivability (except the power advance of the BMW) in same roads and so on? Truth is that the design (as I see from fotos) isn't as inspiring as I would like (except the riding pos.) , but then again have to test ride it to see.

Riding in the wet with diablos is some of the worst rides one can have , comparing to Michelins Pilot Sport or power and the Metzelers M1(that also have better dry performance according to my experience and tests) their performance in wet is a failure. Because we use tires in all conditions and wet , safety is not a compromise. and I have to say my input. The moment I installed diablos I lost the confidence I had on my bike with the previous Pilot Sport and Sportec M1s I had. I am switching back to the Metzelers for a try of their new M3s and the Z6 for new pairs.

I guess in the finale they'll have to pay more money to referies and such to ensure the win...(LMAO....as ussuall)... Oh sorry I forgot that's not so common ,... but wait isn't it Juventus, Milan, Fiorentina and Latzio that will play B and C series next year... (just a thought about the result that counts)

Now for a second thought the riding position seems to be quite comfy without compromising on sport., and a nice wiew. Instuments look perfect , still classy white dials up there, with a lighting that there is no match (yes it is auto adjustable depending on light.), + tech stuf (I am sure there is) [/url] And a small research on the internet came up with many positiv points about it. Such as the NO maintainance schaft drive,Sound excellent. And there is more optional switchable ABS, BMW said they made it as a sportsbike that kann handle also everydays tasks very smooth and...BMW R1200S I would concider buying it myself as well at the end. With a 12.5K Euros seems like a bargain, definatelly will have to give a test ride. BMW site Infos Which color combination do you like?

By avoiding the penalty and not foul as was given by the refery (cause it was inside the g.area) ....LOL as ussual (was that by luck or was that prepaid too....as ussual . we will never know ). Had it be given a penalty (as it should ) the result woud be the opposite.

You can say that again, all what's MG missing from their rooster right now..... I can't wait anymore I want to buy something (mg of course) I hope this griso get another exaust , lol , clip ons, and half fairing , not just a "bikini" thing...lol any pics out yet?

Yep that's a bike that in these specs of power or perhaps a bit lower (anyway somewhere there) Guzzi has to make. I would buy a Guzzi like this in production , and of cource with the exceptional beauty that can give. That beemer seems like an ugly copy of the Sporti (&daytona bikes) (IMO ) ..... Hmm at the other hand why don't I get another Sporti and get it tunned up ....hmmmmmm....a good idea as well. hehehe.

Won't support anyone but Germany at the end, but of course today's match was a justification that the better one wins and not the one that has the name or the fame...and I do like the "outsiders",...besides it is ending on total Europe domination on this Cup ..lol

VIV LA France for tonight (or how you say it) O.K. I know you are watching the match now (as I do) So see ya latter , hope they win. Pitty the English stayied out though playied better but not good enough.

Just a bump up

I meant the Switzerland mats in my sayings mostly, not that one.

Yes I have heared this before on some new Cali's. I had mine valve set changed at 45K miles (though mine is a sporti 1100 '98 model) and that perhaps happened more due to wrong air-filtering than anything else. Perhaps at yours too, think about it, is it everything OK with the air filter? At the time a have 'paniked' a bit an since I was on a travel i changed tham a once, though that titanium valve set (can be found on Agostini) is very interesting for me It would be rational to check your valve clearences in less miles than before (to the perticular valve head with the 'problem' )And avoid too high RPM

Well more or less nowdays football has become of ''trying not to loose'' kin of game with tactics and so on. And that match was exactlly lke this , with the ''Switzerlander'' who didn't want to score even from the penalty mark. , pittyfull indeed

Don't waste your money, it's just a Guzzi..... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . kidding of cource.

I hope they do if they play on their good character like today.Brazilieros have already bitter experiences when opposing France (see also '86) Brazil seem to play sly on the rooster right now. Just rely on offsides trickery to get them goals, though they have skilfull players for scoring. Their defence is pittyfull , even Ghana had their chances so "easy" to break through, if they had a Zidane as shooter they may as well have made it. Dunno if that's on purpose but a great team don't allow so many holes in defence, or perhaps is the "new " century brazil where good show is out and tactical play is "in". Players have became like models and "politicaly correct" and all that stuff. The Brazil that kicked a$$ was the one with Romario (IMO best player since Pele for brazil) but he had to be left out for "politicaly correct" models (i.e.Ronaldo ), y' see he was the "bad" guy with the "outside" lifestyle. P.S. had anyone noticed the too easy yellow cards that are flowing (and I don't mean the match Netherlands-Portugal) Soccer is about to become the "sissy's" game. Why that don't finnaly call it basketball with foot in a large field with a large "basket" ...

nothing new about the azuris , though I like them I have to say that they do get luck on their side to win.(also a habit from the past) Quite the oppoite with teams as Germany and Argentina that thy have to meet so early IMO this should have been a semi-final match (if not to say final) Both teams are perhaps the best of the bunch (so far) and hopefully one of them gets the Cup. Quite a pity that Netherlands lost the match , they were better though not scoring was more importand. Figo should have got the RED insted fo yellow card and that would turn the game to how it should be. We have beaten the Portug 2 tims in Euro champion and got the Euro Cup. Now it's Englands time to beat them but I doupt for the cup and perhaps for that win. obviously (at least for the ones I know) the 'Lions' play very lazy
