Back in the (comfy) saddle
« on: 21 January 2018, 11:08:01 pm »
Had a gen 1 painted up in Kenny Roberts yellow and black up until last Feb.  Was nudging 50k, and I'd had it for over three years and fancied a bit of a change.

Swapped it for a Duke 390. If you've never ridden one, give it a go.  Absolutely hilarious on the road, and the best town bike ever invented.  Pretty too....

...but no good for distance, and a bit lacking in oomph for uphill stretches carrying 17 stone.

So, am back in the Fazer groove.  Found an Ivanised but otherwise stock 02 blue FZS1000 with 14k on the clock.  Picked her up yesterday from 15 miles away in a sleet storm and near freezing temperatures.

But my god it felt good.  Like coming home.
If it ain't broke... hit it harder..
