General / Goodbye........
« on: 04 March 2013, 08:18:56 pm »
After 10 years I've finally waved goodbye to my trusty FZ600   :'(
Gone, but probably not disappeared from this board. As it's now in the (highly skilled and mechanically sensitive  :b :b ) hands of Sunny Intervals (or razgruff, for those of you who've been around here a while)
So.......what should I buy next?  Saw a new Honda Nsomething auto at the NEC and a very attractive Moto Guzzi V7 at the Excel show
The search is on  :lol

« on: 18 August 2012, 08:23:52 pm »
Yep, have now quit smoking for 6 months  :woot  :woot
Just thought I'd pop in here and share my good news.  Thanks again to all of you on here who were so supportive at the start of my quit. :thumbup
Now all I need to do is GET OUT ON THE FECKING BIKE before it starts raining again  :lol :lol

Events, Meets, Ride outs etc / Hunstanton sunday morning anyone?
« on: 26 May 2012, 08:03:35 pm »
I'm planning to pitch up about 9am for a cuppa and a stroll on the seafront.  :sun
Very late notice, so not really a meet invite, just wondered if anyone else was out and about

General / Quitting smoking....Day 6
« on: 18 February 2012, 10:41:44 pm »
Yeah I know, I've been trying to quit for years!  But this time I've made it to day 6.  :)
 
So far so good using the cold turkey method.  I've been grumpy, bad tempered, restless and wanted to rip the heads off small children BUT I'm feeling better for it and looking forward to a smoke-free future.
 
Hopefully I'll notice the difference when I get back into training for my first enduro event this year.  Got a Kawasaki MX125 up and running, goes like the wind, falls over easily and is light enough to pick up again  :o

General / International Dirt Bike Show at Stoneleigh last weekend
« on: 07 November 2011, 06:01:18 pm »
Well, OK, Stoneleigh isn't the most international of locations, but the dirt bike show was good.  Did anyone else go?
 
I got some bargain off road boots.  There was an amazing live display of extreme mountain biking skills and the usual bike show frippery, overpriced food, underdressed promo girls and loads of bikes.  :)

For Sale & Wanted / Wanted: plastic fasteners for fairing inner
« on: 30 October 2011, 09:38:23 pm »
Yep, in the true tradition of 'bodge it and scarper' I removed the right hand fairing inner by completely destroying the two plastic fasteners that hold it on.
 
So, does anyone have a couple of these lying around, or know where I can get them from?

FZS600 Fazer / Indicator repair advice needed
« on: 01 October 2011, 05:22:06 pm »
Just had a 'drop the bike' moment and the right hand indicator is still working, but the base has become detached from the fairing.
 
I'm not very strong and haven't been able to either push or pull the base of the indicator back through the (now cracked) hole. So, my question is this.....
 
....is it possible just to 'pop' the base back into position, or will it need glueing, sticking etc?

Didn't realise we'd all moved already though  :eek

General / Ron Haslam race school
« on: 06 September 2011, 06:58:55 pm »
I'm posting this in here 'cos I can't make the yuku board do what I want today!!
 
Anyhow, just thought I'd share my excitement with the group after doing a Ron Haslam race school day last week.
 
 
This is also a trial run to see if my photo appears in the post!!  The day was brilliant.  I'd done one before, but still have SO much to learn about riding a bike.  Mostly it's a confidence thing, I can't quite bring myself to trust the bike and carry more corner speed or climb around the bike and hang off the seat :\   So as the photo (hopefully) shows, there's no chance of knee down action yet!
 
Very impressed with the CBR600 - I'd never ridden a sports 600 before - it was a revelation  :eek
Light, easy to steer, no clunky gear changes, neutral handling, fantastic bike. I'm so tempted, though the trusty Fazer may never forgive me  :'(

The Laboratory ! / Picture in post
« on: 26 August 2011, 07:46:45 pm »
Yes, yes, yes - not sure if I've done it right, but the end result is fab  :)

Frazer, I sent a message to your Farjo username (well I think that's what I did), could you let me know if you receive anything.  I'm not confident that it definitely worked, because I couldn't see anything in the 'Sent Items' section afterwards  :pc

General / Got some questions
« on: 30 December 2010, 10:34:48 pm »
I've managed to register, but can't find where to add a picture to my profile.

Frazer, I noticed that on the main menu at the top of the screen Hot Poop is now Hot Poo - is this intentional, or just a field size issue?  :)
