first proper rideout today and the old girl done well
« on: 11 January 2014, 07:43:06 pm »
Well since passing and buying my fzs600 in dec I have used it nearly daily as a commute and general excuse to pop to the supernarket. But today I had my first proper rideout with a friend who passed a week before me. He has an r6.

It was a bit fresh today but sun was out so the roads cleared nicely. Went from boston to peterborough and visited a bike shop in eye and another called wheels in peterborough, had coffee ect mcdonalds, oggled at loads of pretty bikes and headed back.

Bike performed well on her first long run out and also kept the r6 on its toes which I didnt think would happen.

Got home all safe only to get a txt from my pak that someone reversed into his bike knocked it over picked it up and put it on its stand and deove off but caused untold damage, water gushed out from womewhere, broke fairings and headlight, snapped footpeg and bent gear lever and clutch lever. Luckily number pkate and accident was caught on his girlfriends cctv at her salon but needless to say he is gutted
