I'm new here
« on: 09 June 2013, 11:23:19 am »
 Howdy folks,
  The names Jason. I'm a yank that has lived in the UK for 10 years now.
  A few years ago I got tired of walking everywhere, went and got a little 125cc and started exploring English roads. Last August I finally moved up to a real bike. I found a 4th hand, 2000, Fazer 600 with 19000m on it. She has served me well. I've been commuting 200 miles a week and loving it. Made for an interesting winter.
  I'm learning about my bike and how to take care of her. I've had the chain and sproket replaced, and recently the down pipes. Today she gets a treat, I have to change the oil so I've got her some full synth. I would really like to do more of the maintenance my-self, but I do not have the tools, space in the car park, or experience to do a lot of it. Damn glad I found this forum. I will probably be asking a few dumb questions from time to time, but I don't really care if you point and laugh. :b

Hey,
 
Welcome to the forum! Loads of help if you get stuck on anything and there may well be a focer near you that could lend a helping hand  8)
 
Get a pic up of your bike,
 
Chris

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

Hi J
 
Welcome and do not forget the most important thing about your  :faz  is to ride it and enjoy it.
