Sounds like you fookers know me allready!...lol I am down in Lymington Hants, is there any weekly/monthly meetings held anywhere close?
I am a newbe to Yamaha as i used to ride a 1200 B3 Bandit in beautiful condition with just under 6000 miles on her until the last BMF in Kelso. I rode up to Winnal service station on the A34 and waiting for fuel, clutch in in gear on slight right lock, fully loaded with side panniers, tent and tail box (loaded with spiced rum and beer)!!....And you guessed it....the fooker stalled and fell over....on my right leg, breaking both bones! Oh dearie me says I...NOT....lol. 10 weeks off work so far with another at least 2 more to go and possibly another month (the leg was nailed). I sold the bike after replacing the broken indicator and brake lever and having an estimate for a tiny re-paint job on the right side of the front fairing (about "2x"2) of £300.00. That was the final poke in the eye as far as i was concerned...the Bandit had to go and be replaced with a 600 Fazer!
Just spent £1900 on a very nice 03 fzs 600 in the purply sort of blue but hardly a mark on it but a few miles (30000). I have to put a chain and sprocket set on her and she is good to rock and roll! Bought chain set off evilbay and seperately a chain breaker/riveter so all i need now is someone to do it for me.....lol. Unfortunately the leg is giving too much grief for me to get on the ground so will have to wait for a mate of mine to come back from the Peterborough BMF this weekend (lucky sod). Good to meet up with you guys at some stage! Rich.
