Well, no one wanted to sell me their FZS400, and the bugger's blown up now anyway!  :'(

Can I claim my Peugeot 106 is an honorary Fazer Thou?  :b

16K, Its been in the rain quite a few times, not through choice admittedly. Rode it 130 miles back from Portsmouth in torrential rain just before xmas. It is mainly just a summer toy though, I cant say I particularly enjoy riding in the rain anymore. I did go out for petrol on it today though and took the 40 mile scenic route home.  :)

Put the T'cat clip ons back on, as she's now used for commuting rather than riding all day long comfort isn't an issue, adjusted suspension and fixed a broken wire to the horn!
Some say...

Took the exhaust off and marveled at the state of the down pipes. Luckily they came of really easy thanks to using stainless nuts and packing them with copper grease the last time I took it off. Added bonus was I managed to get the last mild steel nut off without the stud coming with it this time so I can replace that one with a stainless too  :) . Now I need to work out whether I use the motad stainless pipes I've bought or try and get my originals repaired again but properly this time.

Lovely day for a ride at long last... and then the bike wouldn't start :(

I think the battery is knackered, ended up taking the car over to where my 600 is stored and robbing the battery off of that. After 4 months sat outside, it still had a full charge so was happy with that result. Are the 600 and 1000 battery's any different in reality?

Finally managed to set off about an hour later than I had intended and found some nice twisty roads across the bridge in to Wales before heading back home.

Went for a nice little blast in the winter sun, met up with a mate at the local karting track and came across this bad boy.

Not right exciting but rode it to work, first trip out this year, 9-5 shift today so bollox to the cage. To the guy in the Clio near the front of the queue at the lights who inched over to try and stop me filtering; Foc off  :-D
It will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.

Said hello to it for the first time in a month, checked the tyre pressures dipped the oil . Got the gear on and went for a quick 100km run in the sun. It was cool here in Spain but a pleasure to be out. How you guys stick a British winter is beyond me.
Great to be home a gain

Where do you guys live?! Everyone near me either stays where they are or more often than not, moves over to give me room... the west country is certainly a more friendly place it seems. Still fully of crazy people though :P
