what did you do with your fazer today ?

[midden]

Not sure winter is over yet so muck can stay on me thinks

[Davebo]

Replaced the foccing exup cable.

Fit them from the top down, much easier and a lot quicker 

I did!  Just that I was learning as I went. Much easier once I'd taken the top of the out cable right out of the frame. Next time I bet I can do it in 3.5 hours. 

[unfazed]

Tightened chain and managed to badly scratch visor. Luckily they're off centre of visual line 

How did you scratch your visor tightening the chain ? 

[midden]

Was doing it before leaving for work and put hat over cycle bars which tipped. Hat didn't fall  but visor must have come in contact  with sharp object. Didn't notice till on the road :/

[chunk166]

[robby boy]

Took my one out of the shed and blow the cobwebs off, gave it it's first run of the season, 14 miles or so. Not far but far enough to see that everything is doing what it should, will be giving it a good clean over the next few weeks ready for sale, dunno what to buy next though .

[esetest]

Woke up this morning with the flu , bought myself some lemsips, waited till midday , then went for a bimble down to Minehead , plenty of bikes about , and loads parked up on the seafront , chasing a Z1000 and a GSX1400 most of the way .

[mr self destruct]

Ordered myself a set of Venom stainless downpipes, courtesy of ebay.

Went out for an A-road blast along the Fosse Way.

[stevie-g1968]

went for a spin to towcester...took my lad out for his first ever pillion ride....he had the biggest grin, and was even chuffed with the full English at the café.

bike is looking like a rat bike at the mo, as in fairingless...
spent the afternoon filling and sanding it in a limp attempt to repare the cracks in the fairing....that's now done so il have to find somebody who will do a cheap blow over on it.

[Kosmic Kartman]

Gave it a bath after clocking up 1000 miles bombing around Bristol, then Pembrokeshire, then to Cornwall, then Dorset then back home.

[Fazer Forever]

Went to Scarborough via Squires and Seaways. Could hardly find a spot to park at Seaways! Everyone out!!!!!

[noggythenog]

Did an oil change.




Then changed the coolant.




Started her up.






Got a stutter






It got dark i couldn't see




I'll lift the tank in the morning, check for kinked fuel line then i'll spray some WD on the plugs & have another go.


Fingers crossed.

[devilsyam]

Chain's slack..........

[noggythenog]

Did 150 miles, went to a small village called Glyncorrwg in the valleys, not far from port talbot, very strange place...i reckon they eat their babies but i kept quiet about that to the mother in law as it's where she's from.


I grew up in a purpose built council estate in a new town, a shit hole, but to be expected, but there was something quite saddening about seeing this little old mining village, almost untouched & peaceful & the old miners houses.....& then scabby 80's flats with steel shuttered windows....i mean if your on the dole & up to no good then at least aspire to live somewhere with a bookies....or good broadband signal for the xbox....or mobile signal for your drug deals...or some shops to hang around outside....1 spar shop...which closed at 12 .


I walked passed a house, the whole village was deadly quiet...then this guy from inside starts vomiting his guts up & the window is open & it is echoing around the enclosed streets.....it was just really surreal!




Anyway my bike didnt get nicked & i focced off outta there, another place seen on the bike but nowhere near as good as the A44 over mid wales so i'll scope that out tomorrow.






Noggyfighter performed well at all times.

Wales - land of magnificent castles, beautiful hills and valleys, spectacular roads, excellent café stops. And Noggy visits on his first ride of the year.........................a run down council estate!     Way to go Nog, I can see me and Bill are gonna have to show you around your own patch one of these days 

Glad you got out at last though. Probably headed your way tomorrow, at least they're saying there'll be some sunshine. What happened to the promised week of great weather? I reckon the jetstream's gone so far north, it's come back up south of us again!

[redthunder]

Cleaned chain and adjusted it a notch or two, was a little too slack. Over tightened the bugger and had to loosen it up a little. Typical.


Finally got around to refilling the dry scott oiler and priming it, repositioning it at the same time. Hopefully good to go on that front.

Ha ha Nick, yes it wasnt my best ride but still riding.


Tomorrow should be nice, bit of fog in the morning then rather pleasant, i think i'll throw up a last minute request on the meets & greets section see if i can find any welsh foccers at a loose end...sadly the weekend is off bounds coz i gotta do stuff with the missus but hey it could be snow storms & tsunamis by then so im gonna get out every day this week & have fun.




Is anyone else coming through or just yourself, throw me a line if you fancy company but if you are just in a single handed exploring frame of mind then please dont feel obliged as there shall be more meets im sure.

[Hedgetrimmer]

Company always welcome Noggy. Got a route planned, will be just short of 400 miles all told for me. A40 inbound, brief stop at Oasis, Abergavenny, then on to West End, Llandovery to take on cargo, yum, yum! 
Then thinking Llandrindod, Aber, Machynlleth, Newtown, Crossgates. Then a little mountain road I did on my last camping trip, then Builth Wells, back to Oasis and home. Google says 382 miles 
You up for it boy?! 

Have checked chain adjustment and lubed; checked tyre pressures &c, all good to go for an early start!
