Also arranged to have a nice large shed installed to hold both bikes and give me somewhere to work on them, installation date end of Feb.

Just make sure it is big enough to take at least 4 bikes?  :lol


Kind of you to offer to buy 2 more for me - I'll get back to you with what I want  :)


Think you'll find a recovery trailer takes up the same space as 2 bikes....so unfazed tells me  :pokefun
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

I was thinking of more when a couple of Foccers would be visiting, they wouldn't be expected to leave their bikes outside.  :lol
 It would be very difficult to negotiate the steps into the kitchen  :lol

I like your thinking... LOFOS hit Cumbria.


As to getting into his kitchen up the steps, you've seen kickstart, right?  :b

Are you keeping the fazer though slim just in case you hate the honda?


P.s....get rid those orrible mirrors while you're at the fixing up stage.


I teally do t know what to think of those blades.....neither like or dislike them......if i had to have a honda though it would be one of those vtec vfr's because they look so sexy.

My last bike was a Honda, a VFR, what a beauty of a bike, just like what it says on the box,amazing quality and reliability,just like the FZ1s,,(except the fireblades 175 bhp engine is expected to use a litre of oil per 1000 miles,hell,the vfr didn't)

It will be fine, it's just a bike,lol

One litre of oil per 1000 miles, that's ridiculous, in fact, more like an oil leak!

Fitted a pair of Highway Hawk levers and a Scottoiler to the wife's VT750 - in readiness for the Kickstart next weekend  :D
Then went a bit of a bimble....
