Lovin the new ivanised beast,
Is that Galvanised but done by Apple

i worry as i think that actually might be a serious question on your part
come back when you get the thou and this age old secret shall be revealed to you

I don't think I will have a 1K Fazer, someone said to me that you have to be special to need one of them, I think that's what they said, errrrrrrrr...... or was it you have to have 'Special Needs' to have one of them? yeah that was it.
Who knows one day when I grow up I may get one, but in the mean time my lil FZS rocks, there is not much that will leave it through the lanes and country roads of Hampshire, Ok it's a bit different on the major routes but I try my damnedest to avoid them like the plague. It is good for a tad over 140mph, 0-60mph still frightens the s--t out of me, I'm told the FZS 600 does it in 3.9 secs, but not with me on it.
I do like the look of the silver lumped early thousands. The attached pic would do me nicely but just personalize it a bit. [size=78%] [/size]

I must really have serious special special needs without any hope of growing up as I have both

Both red fast ones

Unfazed you are a wag 'RED FAST ONES'

It's a known fact that the Red and the Blue ones are really slow the only one that is slower is the Yellow

and only a twat would have one of them

I wonder who has got one LOL?

We all know that Silver owners are a throw back of old days trying to relive when there were films like Silver dream Racer with David Essex.

Most of the owners are afraid to ride the really fast red ones, but afraid to admit it.

Mine matches the colour of my hair yours the colour of your eyes. Doh! Especially as you are overtaken by a sliver one AGAIN

Gave it a good wash to get rid of the ACF50 and then put on a coat of HydrO2.

Just about to go back out and clean and oil the chain and kick stand.

Not at all, the only red I see are red fazers passing silver ones,

You will always know the owner of a silver bike, the give away is the number of flies on the back of a silver owners helmet

Went for 280 odd mile spin with Downey today, left around 7:30am (bloody cold in the morning, but warmed up a bit during the day) and arrived back at 5:30pm. Good spin, but took it very handy, being the law abiding citizens we are.

Got caught up in 4 St. Patricks day parades along the way.

Met a group of not to friendly Harley owners in Portlaoise

As we were leaving Mother Hubbards restaurant in Cashel we met a a 79 year old fellow who was riding a brand new CB500x Honda doing the Photo rally and an 86year old fellow who is building a sidecar outfit for his Honda 50

Went up to Hawes via Settle, nice and sunny but not as warm as it looked, spotted this C90 in Settle, I sometimes take a banana or something with me to snack on but a whole picnic is a bit much, Givi are missing a trick there

came home with joy and guilt in my eyes after making a new purchase.a lovely clean 2010 bmw s1000rr ,after a VERY cold morning on the motorway

,had a great blast home on b roads with UNFAZED who might i add was well able to drive the beemer "for an ould fella"

but seriously the thing pulls like a rocket ship ,,feeling a bit shitty leavin my fazer out under the stars while the beemer takes its place under cover "only for now" new cover on the way ,but still the guilt is there and all at a time when my fazer has never handled so well

unfazed · « **Reply #5761 on:** 17 March 2016, 11:01:03 pm »

"Ould fellow" That's the last time I take you to buy a BMW

Flat out in 3rd on the fazer and the S1000rr was pulling away Foc.

Must say I did enjoy that trip from Cashel to Fermoy on the old road

Hard to beat that old road from Mitchelstown to Fermoy

We will sort out the suspension for your weight in the next few days and then have some fun

on the Cousane Gap

Finally found someone to swap steering head stems.

Dropped them in just to make sure everything ok, bonus was steering stops virtually identical

Great weather today, so took winter blaster for ride.

Oldgit · « **Reply #5771 on:** 19 March 2016, 06:48:37 pm »

Went for a run down in the borders this afternoon, back & cleaned the cows shit from the R1200RS, too many tractors on the roads at this time of year with cow shit spreading going on in nearly every field.
Otherwise a beautiful afternoon ride out.

I'll be up at the Hartside tomorrow, from about midday. Look for the ugly bloke with a filthy black Street Triple (just so you know who to avoid

).

Fitted a Micron carbon can, courtesy of Red Ceri. Can fitted by me and Dead Eye, with Exupnut being a pest!

Thanks to all for the help.
