what did you do with your fazer today ?

[tommyardin]

Back on the road again, took the 600 out for my first trip on the  bike since the Knee replacement 10 weeks ago.    Rode it to the Physio department of the Hospital, no queueing in traffic, no issues trying to find parking, no problems just a big  on my face.  roll on the Summer

Fair play to you Unfazed, Glad to hear your out on the bike and hopefully the knee will just get better and better.

Pahh - I think I can still see 1/2mm of chicken strip

Serviced the Exup, topped up the oil and took it for a little blast.
Haven't rode it for over six months and it still feels tight as a drum.
So glad I kept hold of it.

That kind of makes it look like a tiger in the jungle

Bought a rear hugger and fenda extenda - now looking for a decent battery charger (Oxford?) - any advice?

I have one like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/CTEK-MXS-5-0-Temperature-Compensation/dp/B00FC42HAA/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522681419&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=battery+charger+yamaha+ctek
But the Yam branded version like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yamaha-YEC-8-Battery-Charger/dp/B007CHQ29C/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1522681495&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=battery+charger+yamaha+ctek.
I keep it permanently on as an optimiser.

Think you might find that is a part of the side wall.
Sharpie thinks your only out of tread pattern when you take the side off the valve cap.

Would have been a shame to sell her, she looks neat in bright yellow.

Who did your seat?

Not sure to be honest. Bought it already done from a Foccer on here.
Thought I remember him saying it was a Sargent.
Whatever it is, it's extremely comfortable on long runs and very good quality. Although it's a bit higher than standard with the extra padding so makes me tip toe a bit on certain cambers.

Went out for a spin up to RAF conningsby with a few mates. Saw some great aerial displays from the Jets.
Then went for a cruise over to Cadwell Park to watch a few track day sessions.
Great weather and a great ride

Fitted a new battery and front sprocket+nut. Sprocket cover went back on with about half of the gasket that was there when I took it off last time.

Never seen a bike with a gasket around the sprocket cover before, is it worth worrying about replacing it? The back and bottom of its open anyway...

Did nothing with my Fazer or my lil Honda. They both came out of the shed ya week or two ago for MOT's and I decided not to put them away as I am scooting about on the C90. They are locked under a long lean
-to beside my house, on passing them today I noticed that they are both covered in a very fine pinky grey dust that looks as fine like talcum does. Now I know I love my bikes and treat them well but I draw the line at talc.


Wtf is going on.

Warm air coming up from the Saharah I would imagine.
My ex mother in law turned up at my door last night with two suit cases in her hands and asked if she could stay for a couple of days.
Of course I said.
When I opened my front door this morning she was covered in it too.

[tommyardin]

Serve the bitch right, she deserved it just showing up like that, it's only fair, some people need to learn a lesson
