Farewell but not goodbye
« on: 23 December 2018, 08:25:42 am »
Just a note to thank you all for you fantastic help, a bit of a laugh and advice, this is one of the most active, informative sites I've discovered. I had an itch to scratch and unfortunately the Fazer had to make room for another (ahem) bike, a bigger garage would be nice. The Fazer is a fantastic bike for all round use, anybody with around £1000 to spend on a do all bike would need their head examining for not trying one. Thanks again.

You could stick that one in the cupboard under the stairs to keep space for the fazer

That's why I didn't say goodbye😀. There's plenty I should've kept. For the life of me I can't understand why she thought living in the garage thus freeing up the house for bikes wouldn't work.

I'd love one of those bikes. They look like a lot of fun. What sort of MPG do you get on them?

Had an ST70 new in 1974, bought it for the missus to get to work on. Threw it in a skip 10 years later......

His Dudeness, I'll guess mpg similar to C70, C90 step ins. The main reason I got it is to do a couple of long distance trials next year, just for kicks, I suppose I better find out the range of a full tank.

I had a 125 after seeing monkey bikes everywhere during a trip to Southern France.  This went in the boot of my 1-series bmw and came around Devon and Cornwall. Fun for round town in Summer.

Been looking at astonishingly cheap new Lifan 125 engines, a few genuine parts adds up to the price of one. Yours doesn't look like a Lifan, did you fit it?

Mine was a French 'Spigaou' bike which was originally supplied with a 125 engine, so cheaper to insure as not modified.
Chinese bike built to a marginally higher French/European specification...
Well that's what I told the guy that bought it off me. ;-)
