Hi all
Ive been on the forum for a while now but i realised i have not yet introduced myself ( how rude ). I got back into biking after having spent the last 17 years paragliding, but got a bit sick of waiting for the weather to be just right to fly so the biking bug has bit me once again.
I only ride for fun on weekends and evenings around the great roads of south and mid wales but am planning a trip to france this summer. I have a blue fzs foxeye 600 which i have had for allmost a year now, i love it but am thinking of upgrading to an fazer 1000 when funds permit as the wife has started riding pillion sometimes, i also have a dt 175 mx 1981 which is allmost on the road, i will post some photos in the next week or so when i get it looking nice.
Great forum, its nice to know i can get a bit of advise when its needed. (but the fazer just doesnt seem to go wrong anyway)
Cheers guys.

Sounds a bit similar to me. Blue fox eye 600 had for nearly a year and ride around South Wales! In the summer we're gonna have to get a welsh foccer meet going as there seems to be more and more of us popping up.

No problem Dock, I know you've said you're thinking to sell on the fzs600 for a thou at some point but we're organising a group buy for silicone coolant pipes, 9 piece kits, if you'd be interested

More info here, main update is on page 5: http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,6189.0.html

Yep, We live on the edge of a hill which around wales isnt that unusual, if you dont live on a hill you live in a valley
