Not much form the 600 riders, obviously busy riding, just saying.

The 600 lot got a size complex and made up their own thread....."what did you do with your puny, slow, inferior FZS600 today"

Yesterday: Lead a Ride Out from Wickham to the Weyhill Fair Pub. Unfortunately this time I only had 3 people join, as opposed to the 13 I had the last time I did it (probably too many people looked at the forecast and didn't like the look of the possible rain). Yes, we got a bit of rain on the way, but it cleared up after lunch and we had a great run back to Loomies.

Today I rode from Portsmouth to Birmingham, but reached the A34 via the A32 and Morestead Road (missing out the M27 and M3) which was a lot more fun, so I did that on the way back too!

Apropos the fuel economy comments above, I've noticed that since garages swapped from the winter fuel formulations, I'm getting about 25 miles extra per tank

ADDENDUM: Yesterday I was wearing the textile jacket with neck piece due to the grotty weather, today I got to use the Air Jacket for the first time this year!

Rode about 50 mile today after work and roasted my bollocks off. The Wales trip is gonna be a hot one indeed still looking forward to it anyway. Noggy u beat be out and about Friday night need to put a face to the name

Changed my front tyre myself. First attempt only took me best part of 1/2 hour including balancing.
And of course I've only fitted the best tyre too!

Definitely the best tyre for a slow blue bike,

Only joking noggy, we all know a 1000 will go faster in a straight line but a 600 will be better in the bends with a decent pilot, not me, its all about the bends baby.

Besides Noggy you'll be too busy with dirty nappies and jam in yours cd's before long.

Skips....i dont mean to sound like bill & ted but i actually found your previous slander most excellent........plus it was more realistic than your recent comment of a 600 ever being quick......the only thing they do quick is going upside down against the tarmac

Twas just a mere 3 years ago you were on here sounding green and asking questions about your cherished 600, but look at you now, all grown up with an extra 400cc's to play with, doesn't time fly.

Noggy you would not have to read the shit being thrown at you if you just got on it and rode it

noggythenog · « **Reply #4720 on:** 30 June 2015, 10:33:26 pm »

Went for a 60mile evening ride, there was hardly a car around
one fazer one moon -- big sky

HarryHornby · « **Reply #4723 on:** 01 July 2015, 08:59:04 am »

Had to bump start it this morning (that was focing hot work!).

Every now and again for a reason unknown to me I go to start the bike and it's flat as a pancake. New battery last year, did it on the old one too. Does it about twice a year. Very odd. I had ridden the bike 2 days previous too, so hardly been sitting long.

I'd get the bike checked if I was you.
sound like you've got a short some where,maybe a wire rubbed against the frame and shortened etc
