Well since passing and buying my fzs600 in dec I have used it nearly daily as a commute and general excuse to pop to the supernarket. But today I had my first proper rideout with a friend who passed a week before me. He has an r6.

It was a bit fresh today but sun was out so the roads cleared nicely. Went from boston to peterborough and visited a bike shop in eye and another called wheels in peterborough, had coffee ect mcdonalds, oggled at loads of pretty bikes and headed back.

Bike performed well on her first long run out and also kept the r6 on its toes which I didnt think would happen.

Got home all safe only to get a txt from my pak that someone reversed into his bike knocked it over picked it up and put it on its stand and deove off but caused untold damage, water gushed out from womewhere, broke fairings and headlight, snapped footpeg and bent gear lever and clutch lever. Luckily number pkate and accident was caught on his girlfriends cctv at her salon but needless to say he is gutted

I hve had the whole pay foe fuel before hand so I asked to see the policy for paying for goods not recieved. I now only use pay at pump the staff leave you alome there, lid on sitting on bike in and out. I got told to get off the bike once too so I went in and asked how am I to fill my tank to the top with it leaning to one side? She had no answer so left me to it. There is a sign in a fuel station in luton saying no sitting on the bike.

I wish I couls show them.the episode on mythbusters where they tested the mobile phone and fuel vapour and even a fag and fuel vapour and couldnt ignite with either, and working as a fuel tanker specialist flash points are a daily concern for me. Jobsworths most of them

Hi guys and girls, passed my tests mid dec and bought a 1999 fzs600 a few days after. Its much like the bike I learnt on in style comfort and handling so the familiarity appealed to me and im loving it so far. I use it as my daily hack and also or any other excuse to go somewhere, I have even taken my evo off the road for some work ro be done so plenty more riding. Weather isnt great at the min with the winds and rain but ill get through it and into summer a better rider I think.
