just a reminder to all you forgetfull foccers out there

,when putting your fuel tank back on your bike remember to turn the tap to the on position before bolting the tank down,if you dont you will get about 0.7 miles down the road before you come to a stop ....................................................

yesterday went for a 60+ mile ride north of Birmingham past Lichfield & towards Ashbourne. Today rode to the Bikefest at RAF Cosford north of Wolverhampton-lots of bikes there including a good show of Fazers young & old. The little 600 is a joy to ride & so good on fuel

. Have got a few more service jobs to do the next week or so-waiting for the 12mm sprocket, nut & tabwasher ordered from my friendly local main dealer Thursday. Will definitely be changing the original rubber brake hoses for braided. Next ride out its "Big Reds" turn as shes sulking in the shed

Rode from Reading to Silverstone (via the A4074 - surprisingly great little rode for the most part).
Then got off my 2000 plate Fazer, and jumped on a brand new Kawasaki ZX6R 636 for a test ride!

I'm a little ashamed to say that I didn't really want to get back on my Fazer after a blast on that fine piece of machinery...

Oil + filter and air filter change, I checked the plugs that they wer perfect, good old iridium!

Did not make it out in countryside today on bike due to ear infection as it turns out my balance is not its best when on my metal steed, so only a little bimble round pothole spotting. Its a national sport you know

I'm the same. I have a lovely 20 mile run to work with 10 miles of semi empty motorway and get there at 0530 for the day shift (1730 for nights) and am bouncing around like Tigger. All my cager work mates shout abuse till i've calmed down.
My night shift is a pain though, as when i get home i can't sleep till the adrenalin has worn off.

I left it under its cover because it's raining and I'm a soft lad.

Nothing today, but last Saturday I was doing a Slow Riding Training Course with the Solent Advanced Motorcyclists, on Sunday I was at the Lord Mayor's Ride-In event in Portsmouth and on Monday I was having an incredibly good time at an IAM Skills Day at Thruxton

After spending all afternoon driving round each loacl roundabout 3 times, and failing to get knee down (I blame the tyres), I went to a semi-empty carpark, played around with some slow speed stuff and some wheelies.

Over the last couple of weeks:
36K service (shop)
Hagon progressive front springs (to go with the Hagon rear)
K&N air filter
adjustable levers
It is a delight

Went out for a ride yesterday just for the fun of it and to explore the area a little more. Ended up having a bit of fun with a Mercedes M class of all things haha

finally got round to fitting braided brake lines - easy enough but did take longer than I expected to bleed the system.

ChristoT · « **Reply #321 on:** 27 April 2013, 07:22:20 pm »

Refitted my Blueflame can with the help of the local mechanic. Turns out I have the wrong hanger and the wrong link pipe. At least the peg doesn't stick out a mile any more.

Refitted my Horns of Wrong in rediness to eviscerate.
