For Sale & Wanted / Breaking 2003 FZS1000
« on: 27 February 2019, 03:11:04 pm »
As my mate decided to mess me about with my old fazer, I have decided to break it as I couldn't bring myself to sell the old girl on.
She has USD front end, 16mm radial master cylinder, aero screen, 32k on the clocks, ivanised carbs, genuine yamaha bellypan, Quill titanium can
Exup valve in good condition.
It's on the faceache side of foc-u as I spend more time there than here.
Bodywork is all there but needs a respray.

I bid farewell to the forum.
The fazer has been given away to a mate and replaced by a XSR900.


So long and thanks for all the fish!

i've tried...........gawd knows i've really tried to be supportive of him.

through all his little foibles, stupid ideas and plans. even when he screwed over his own mother for £20k i've tried to be a steady hand on the tiller........a voice of reason.

but today he went too far.

i was told he was helping me pop up the plasterboard in the garage (he was a builder-y type person once so fine i thought). first sheet of 8x4 he picks up he snaps :\

'i'll use that for the fill pieces' i say soothing the situation.

2nd sheet goes up, i put my screws in and pass the drill over to him so he can pop a few in. foc-nuts puts so much force onto the screw it goes sideways and he shoves the drill through the sheet :eek

11 years of biting my tongue came out in about 30s of ranting...........i don't think he'll be coming home tonight!

i'm replacing the ceiling in my garage. the stuff i'm ripping out is about 6mm thick and about 30yo.
anyone know what it is and what i should be replacing it with?
roof is all timber with a good felt covering so no moisture issues.
want it done as cheaply as possible as the house is sold and have agreed to replace ceiling before moving out.

TIA

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / S1000R test ride
« on: 09 May 2016, 09:07:45 am »
Took my mates fully tricked (but still in restricted mode) beastie for a ride.
Firstly it's tiny. Secondly the crank has no mass so spins up phenomenally quickly.
In dynamic pro mode!!!!!!! it's like taking a jack Russell for a walk.
Getting a full power ride next weekend so we'll see if it's improved.
Not a bike you would want to ride every day.
Fazer felt like it was running on 3 after riding it though!

General / you (not so) fat bastard!
« on: 04 February 2016, 05:03:37 pm »
Decided to lose a bit of weight this year so have joined a gym. They offer a personalised appraisal of just how unhealthy you are and suggest a way of achieving your goals. So anyway I had my MOT  today and my BMI says I'm verging on morbidly obese, however I only have 16% body fat which for someone my age is right at the bottom of the healthy range.
RHR of 50 and a recovery time of 2 mins from 75% mhr.
Apparently I just need to stop being so lazy.
30lbs to go.

General / EE...........mysterious txts and phantom phone calls
« on: 27 December 2015, 02:05:49 pm »
wifey just checked her bank balance and discovered her mobile bill for november was over £100.
so just been going through her last years statements and she has been charged for txts that don't show up on her phone (£87.50) and an hour long phone call (£53) which again doesn't show on her logs.
anybody got any experience of how to deal with this or do i just need to go into the high st store and kick off in front of other customers (best tactic for getting things dione fast ime)
