Blast from the past
« on: 24 September 2012, 11:18:37 am »
Was a regular foccer 10-11 years ago, but my account dropped off when things got snazzy on the website!  So after years of lurkdom I've re-registered.
Got a mint blue 2003 FZS600 with lovely carbs but proper headlights  :)
Bike was mothballed for 4 years due to being busy at work and having nowhere sensible to keep the bike.  Just moved to France, bike now happily garaged but yet to be froggified.  Currently uninsured so limited to riding 20m up and down the drive to keep her turning over!  Managing to resist the temptation so far.
Hoping to find someone with some Euro headlights to sell so I don't have to have silly stickers on mine or stump up what Yamaha will surely want for new ones.
Good to see the site is still going strong!

markbubble was thinking along those lines, but not found a set of mk2 lights on ebay anywhere in europe.  Of course mine will still recoup some cash even if I have to buy new ones.
