Hi all,
My name's Jon and I'm yet another bloke entering his mid-life crisis at 40. My wife gave me a choice, I could either buy a Porsche, bang my secretary or get a bike.Seeing how I don't have a secretary and a
Porsche is, well, a VW Beetle for tossers
it had to be the bike.
So last year I did my CBT and got a 125 Virago, pottered around on that until I realised I'd better get something easier to practice my Mod 1 stuff on, sold it, got a 1982 Suzuki GS125 and booked a 4 day direct access course.
I passed that a fortnight ago (Did Mod 1 & 2 on the same day) and weighed up the usual contenders; Hornet, Bandit, Fazer, SV etc,
but I think I've made the right choice in a 52 plate FZS600 with 30k on the clock, FSH and one owner.Got no pics as yet as I only picked it up today and went straight into work from the dealer, so in at the deep end with a 25 mile blast down the M6, and I love it! Much nicer ride than the Bandit I learned on.
Only one problem with it, the fuel gauge seems to read half a tank low. The dealer told me it was half full but the gauge read empty, so I stopped and filled it up, and yes it was half full already, so has anyone else come across this problem? If so is it an easy fix?
