Title: New member from Middlesbrough.
Post by: dickgam on 29 December 2011, 05:38:16 am: :) Hi, I have just joined this site despite buying an Fzs 1000 new in 05. I have added Yamaha hugger, crash bungs and belly pan, I have also added a radiator cover, race can and front braided hoses and i will get round to fitting the different tie bars for the rear suspension that i have had for some time to sharpen the steering.
I also own a CCM 404 DS. Roll on the warmer weather. :sun

Post by: dickgam on 30 December 2011, 02:07:39 am: You can always get out somewhere, i took the Fazer off the road in October, it is not worth riding once the salt hits the road, the finish on my engine is appalling, worst i have seen in a long time. :eek
I have taken the enduro tyres off my traily and put more road biased tyres on so that gives me a bit more scope for getting out and about. :)

If newcastle and gateshead are geordies, and sunderland and durham are mackems, then what are middlesbrough and stockton?
