Nice one Sharpie, how long have you owned her and what mileage has she got on her, some nice photos there.
MT-09 Tracer for those who no longer can handle a BIG boy Fazer

Thanks both of you.
Since 2001 and was the 3rd owner it has just over 20k on the clock now, I have the 1st owners receipt and it cost him £4,995 OTR in 1998 and he put 3,726 miles on it in the first year.

That was the weekend of the farewell flight taken at Eastmidlands airport on the Sunday. I was there for the flypast that was supposed to happen on the Saturady but it banked away at the last min due to a small plane nipping in first ---- lots AND LOTS of unhappy people, it was perfect on the bike filtering through about 1 mile of stationary traffic there and back. The next day Sunday it was to fly over Rutland Water so I went to see it there - nowhere whatsoever to park unless you were on a bike like I was  :lol . The chat from the crowd was that it was going to do East mids again that afternoon so from Rutland water I rode up to East mids airport again - even more stationary traffic this time and I just rode through a few cones to a prime spot with other bikers that had rode through the cones which is where I got the shot, you can see I am next to more bikes. The shot would of been better but the crap camera on the phone takes the picture about 2 seconds after you press the button !       
Here is a photo showing it banking away on the Saturday and the cones. I actually parked next to a Red Fazer 600
EDIT actually I think this shot may well of also been on the Sunday as it approached but that was about the distance that it banked away on the Saturday.

Cheers. The hazy one was because just over the hedge they were harvesting wheat and kicking up loads of dust that was drifting across as the sun was getting low. It did look like that in real life but I did help it a little with photoshop.
