« on: 05 February 2017, 04:34:51 pm »
So i have a spare bike and after doing two trackdays last year I thought I would gather up some spare plastics and a tank and make a set of track fairings and take off the original blue plastics and keep safe incase I wish to revert back to tidy roadbike.

So first was the collection of plastics and tank

General / I took it on track
« on: 05 October 2016, 07:46:51 am »
So after doing two stints at the Ron Haslem race school Donnington, one dry day then a wet day I got the bug to go faster safer, I am now riding an 09 Fireblade on the road, just been over to the Red Bull ring Austria, 2,500 mile trip, great fun as always and a bike that,s a belter to tour on.
Anyway I kept the Fazer so set it upfor track and 3 of us booked our first track day at Oulton Park.


Wow, about 6 sessions in Novice,about 30 or 40 bikes, started steady,,scared myself on braking and probably speed too but it just got better and better, going very very wel by the last session, fantastic fun, now wait until the next one.







I had taken the home made baffle out and shut the slots a bit and extended it by abot 7 inches and drilled it full of small holes , sound test result was 101 dcb and limit is 102 dcb so happy and allowed on track.
New front pads, lowered,well flipped bars over,removed mirrors,number plate,reset tyre pressures and GO.

General / Ebay !! why ?
« on: 07 July 2016, 06:32:33 pm »
So it's too easy to search ebay , select an item them buy it,,umm all seems well,,,but I was looking for a throttle tube for my fz1s and found a used one for £29.00

Then an internet seach comes up with this from Wemoto
http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/yamaha/fz1_s_fazer/08-09/picture/handlebar_grip_-_right_-_throttle_side_includes_pipe_-_oem/

Yes , a new grip complete with throttle tube for less than half the price of one in the breakers which did not have a grip on it,, so just take a bit more time and google it.

General / Here's a odd story emerging
« on: 22 May 2016, 08:18:38 pm »
On another forum a bloke has spotted this 1992 Fireblade for sale with 20,000 miles on it, he rang up about it and the dealer said it sold the same day.
Well

He says he has proof he saw it with 98,000 miles in 2005, now it has only 20,000,,a bit odd ,,,or BAD dealer.
His quote
"October 2005 was 98684 and 6020 the following year, possibly had a new set of clocks put in"
here was the add
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231948715469

He is going to contact the seller tomorrow

General / K and N oil filters
« on: 17 April 2016, 06:53:44 am »
A heads up , but I have read on a couple of forums now, especially one to do with track riding about leaking K and N oil filters,
Supposedly manufacturing has been moved to China, as is everythingnowadays,,
So there seems to be a chance that they can leak a lot, all over your hot exhaust manifold and the bike bursts into flames, I have read that some tracks have banned the use of this manufacturers oil filters.

Events, Meets, Ride outs etc / Slim 4 Dazza
« on: 27 March 2016, 06:56:19 pm »
Met up with Dazza and his Brother today, a few showers , lots of wet roads , very dirty bikes but good safe fun, it's good to get out on a proper wet road time to time to lose any fear of them and get used to them, build confidence.
We even had some dry roads after dinner stop at the Crossgates café. Went up to Newtown and rode towards Crossgates, wet roads so nice steady 60ish
was aimed for.
Then A49 back towards Kington and Hereford, I took them to the Water breaks its neck falls at New Radnor for a few pics and something different lol



And there is a steep stone bank where couples write their name on a rock and place it there for good luck


Oh Dazza is so lovely
