Had a play with different fuel maps to see if I could up the economy a little.
Didn't work, just made the bike slower. Full fat map reinstalled
Then I demanked the chain.

Looks so much better with the rear mudguard removed - much sleeker. I would do it to my gen 1, but as I plan to do a bit of touring, I want something to help keep the luggage clean! Nice tho.

Being fitted next Tuesday so I'll get another 400-500 miles out of these before they go. Front will have done over 21k by then.

Nearly posted same yesterday Andy. Was going to say "none of the above unless someone's said rode to work then home again".
Did the "gravel lane" again just now. I had my big off on a road that was actually named Gravel Lane in Chigwell. Now I'm getting to know this one pretty well too, which doesn't bode well for my survival expectations! They've done even more of it now, but I think once it's settled down properly it'll be a blast. Hardly any traffic on it at this time in the evening either.

I turned a corner a few months back on a road covered in gravel I ended up going at about 2mph with both feet down for about 500 meters with really nice people going passed me at about 30mph spraying gravel at me not nice.

I hadn't planned on going for a spin today but the weather tempted me. Bye, bye, wife. Hello Nant y Garth pass, Ruthin, Denbigh, St Asaph, Rhuddlan. Stopped at the Whistlestop cafe for dinner, then called at Woods in Abergele, had a natter with a few bikers in the parking area. Onwards to Colwyn Bay promenade for a cup of coffee, then to Betws yn Rhos.Llanfair Talhaiarn, Llansannan ( chippings, beware ! ), Bylchau, Llyn Brenig, CerrigyDrudion ( chippings again ! ), Ruthin, Nant y Garth, home. 113 very enjoyable miles, saw lots of bikers, and heavy traffic heading coastwards.
Hope to be out again tomorrow with my mate Trev. Going to be hot.

took mine for its Mot - sailed through.
However, when I got back home, I noticed the feed line for the scotoiler had come looses and was hanging down.

Taped up my fairing after busting the bracket to the frame
.
Then went out for a 260 mile spin with my old man on our
s.
Went Perth,Blairgowrie,Glenshee,Braemar,Linn of Dee,the excellently named Cock Bridge,Tomintoul,The Lecht,Aviemore,Pitlochry & home.
Some splendid twisties, got my boots scraped for the first time,tyres got a good melting & the weather was great
,the old fazer still has some legs,was able to hold a line better than my dads fz6 that tended to run wider on corners.
Looking forward to a west coast blast on Monday

Went on a Ride out with some other members of the Solent Advanced Motorcyclists around various parts of the south of England.
It was great fun with lots of twisty bits, just a shame that the A342 was closed so we had to divert via the A303 dual carriageway which was really boring, but still, at least I saw Stonehenge with my own eyes (in passing!)
It got a little nerve wracking at the end, the guy leading it said it would be about 150 miles and I'd ridden 30 to get to the start point (Ower services off the M27) , so I thought I'd be ok on fuel, but then because of the diversion and him changing the route a bit, I was almost down on Reserve and we were around the Thruxton area!
Fortunately, now I've got the Power Commander with the Dual Map option, I was switching between the basic Zero Map and the "fun map" for a boost of power when I needed it and it's actually improved the FZ6's fuel economy because I used to get 175 miles from a full tank to reserve, but now I get 190 which was enough to get me back to the start point without running on vapour...
Apart from that, it was a really fun day's riding
