fast group at oulton, got held in the pits at the start of the day for ages whilst the other bikes were out there. anyway eventually got waved off and shot around on my first sighting lap................no bikes.......hmmmm.
second sighting lap still no bikes..........better up the pace a bit otherwise a gixxer 1000 will come howling past. i'm now going at 8-9/10ths...............still no bikes, come whipping around druids and finally see a bike...................i'll just sit in behind him and..................shit he's touring.
i stand the bike on it's nose, nearly go over the top so let off and .............................bang.
i wake up looking up several sets of nostrils. the chopper had already landed so gawd knows how long i'd been out.
ended up in Stoke hospital, and was walking...............very gingerly i might add, within an hour. because i'd been out for a while they kept me in overnight.
got back to oulton on tues aftie and had a very slow drive home.
bike has a knackered top fairing, split straight down the middle. clock brackets aren't the shape the Harris brothers intended. front loom has some road rash, radiator on the left is now double banana, the o/s crash bung snapped in half so the bellypan and footrest took the slide. tank has man lumps dent in the rear and an elbow dent in the front.
all the hospital staff were asking me what my lottery numbers were!

Ouch!!!
Glad to see your ok and you sense of humour is back to normal  :D

Made a start on my new 'temporary' tank.  It's actually looking better than their current home.  All this so I can get the living room carpet replaced  :eek

In the process of fitting some Dr.Bike heated grips to the Speed Triple and rebuilding the rear caliper, before it commences its winter hack duties.

I refer the "gentleman" to the thread title.  ;)


But just to allay your concerns:











And now I'm off topic  :rolleyes

Perfect lovely shots -- a Street triple would of been just as good (forgot it was "whatever else you have got" )

No pleasing some people (or understanding what they're trying to say in their posts)  :rolleyes


When Christo started this thread, he didn't say anything about it having to be about bikes. Frankly, I'm more like you these days; I avoid riding when it's wet, or freezing cold. So I have to have something else to do. Anyways, it's better than talking politics  :z

Amended my post to make a little bit more sense, and yes you are right it doesn't say it has to be a bike and I suppose your walking boots are transport.   

As I have been booted off the "What did you do with your Fazer today?" thread for posting up comments about Kwaks and Peugeots (you bastards!  :lol :lol ), I'm throwing the toys out of the pram, and making my own thread. So there.  :b

So, if you have a nice car, other bike, or even a nice girlfriend (ooh err missus!  :eek ) - what did you do with it today?

Yeah! but if you have a RED Fazer you need a good pair of walking boots if you want to get anywhere fast :lol

Got my FZR1000 running soooo sweetly. The poor thing has been off the road for years. Rebuilt the carbs with all new jets (got lucky on all the jets for £40 from deutschland). Cleaned them out, reset all the floats. Starts and sounds lovely. Freed off the exup valve. Still loads to do.

Also went to use the oven and discoved the element is fooked, so removed the oven, pull the element and ordered a new one.

Washed the fatty, took the zzr1100 for a nice "run in the winter sun" to wales. bloody near died in the rain and cold, was so glad to get back alive and still have the bike sunny side up, even if it took me two hours to get feeling back in my hands and feet. it looked lovely when i left.... :rolleyes
