Hello folks, my son now has my Fazer and has fitted chrome downpipes so the originals are available. These are in good condition, done about 25k miles but bike frequently cleaned and always garaged. They just need a bit of a tidy up.
£75 offers welcome.
Collect from Cambridge or may be able to deliver or meet mid way.

We (well Ian mostly) is suffering severe wallet pains as a result of my boy's disagreable Pegaso 650. Cutting a very long story short, the carb isn't pulling fuel through. We sent it to a carb man who said idle screw was broken and a few other bits were apparently worn out and he refurbed it for £155. When it came back after successful bench testing our tame mechanic said it still wouldn't run. He's talking to the carb man and we're awaiting the outcome but it's all been such a pain, we don't hold out much hope. Any ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks.

A couple of months ago my car reg was announced over the loud speaker in Tesco. With a sinking feeling I went to customer services to meet a distressed very apologetic lady "I'm so very sorry, I've damaged your beautiful car" she explained the wind had caught her door and it had hit my door.
There was a lot of her paint on my door and mirror, she gave me all her details and the next day her insurance company called to sort everything out. Repairs were organised at my main dealer's bodyshop who had my mini for a week. Car and loan car collected/delivered to me at work, all sortedHER insurance co. Great relief and my faith in human nature intact.
Just renewed my insurance and the bastards put up my pemium by £30 stating the reason that I was clearly putting my car at increased risk because of the areas I parked in!! I was in Tesco!! and I usually park away from the door to reduce the risk (and I think the exercise does me good). Never once made a foccin claim in 25 years of driving and 28 of riding.... thieving foccin bastards.
Why is this allowed to happen?

How do I stop from thinking, ah nice sunny day, best ride the bike to work. How stupid am I  25 miles later, slipping all around then get to work and can't undo me lid, thank god for secretaries! It takes 30 minutes for my fingers to stop feeling like they will explode then have to do the reverse in the foccin' dark. Mad, just quite mad  note to self....December is a bit too nippy for an old bird. Anne

On Saturday, just when I was feeling life is a bit of a bastid and wondering if perhaps it would be best if I sold my bike I looked out at the lovely winters day and decided to go out for a ride. What a good decision, I went over to visit my 89 year old mum, about 70 miles each way, and put a smile on both our faces. It was such a blast even the cold didn't matter. Think the bike's mine for a bit longer.  Anne

Had a call from my 16 year old daughter at 2.30 on Wednesday to tell me she'd come off her ped. A couple came out of their house to help her, took her and the bike in, cup of hot chocolate later and she told them she had a test at college and needed to get there. The lady took her in to college, she sat the test, got the bus home.....then called me! Thankfully she wasn't hurt but was very worried I'd be cross. As you can imagine, the overwhelming emotion on my part was great relief. Turns out she'd gone into a corner a bit fast, saw the car and braked while she was already lent over to keep on her side of the road. Road was wet and a service the previous day ment the brakes were a bit fierce. She parted company with the bike which then hit the on coming car. There was very little damage to her ped as the top box rack was what hit the car. Unfortunately, it hit a Merc and damaged the wing, wheel and door. She's called the insurance company, sourced the parts and spent all day repairing it, took flowers to the lady she hit and the one who helped her and booked extra shifts at work to pay for it. What a star Anne

The old site used to say across the top what other foccers were logged in, am I the only one in here, has this been lost or is it some euro data protection gig?

Just caught the end of an interview with James May on radio 2 talking about 'real men' and manliness. Got me thinking, what is a 'real man' and have our views changed on this over the past few decades? Discuss... I'll start you off with a few atributes I would include if I were to describe a 'real man':- - knows how things work, (engines, lighting circuits, boilers)
- owns and knows how to use tools and fix stuff (even if he prefers to pay someone else to do it)
- would protect/defend anyone if he felt they needed help
- does NOT think that holding a door open/giving up a chair/offering to help undo a jar or change a wheel for a woman is sexist
I think I have changed my views on this over the years and have come to the conclusion that expecting men to do the above as well as cook, clean, be in touch with their feminine side is probably unreasonable. Not saying they can't do this, just that expecting it may be unfair. Just my view. Anne
