Fazer8 / FZ8 / I think I kinda get it
« on: 16 May 2012, 07:29:07 pm »
I should have thought to take a picture....at Donnington WSB the other day there was a dealer who had a nakid FZ8 on show in yellow...yellow wheels too....it looked really good.
They also had a faired fazer8 in anniversary colours....again looking good.
Just sort the price and the suspension Yamaha

General / Tulisa's 'special video'
« on: 20 March 2012, 01:54:45 pm »
Nahhhh....you didn't think I would put it up here did you!
 
However my son's facebook status made me smile (Portsea is the scummier end of Portsmouth)
 
'Whats the big deal about tulisas sex video. If you want to see a chav tugging a fazer. Go to portsea and find a yamaha without a bike lock'
 
Now do I feel proud or tell him off?....he is 25 right enough

General / Been looking at a more up to date steed
« on: 27 February 2012, 02:31:26 pm »
And kinda liking the idea of the GSX650 even although its a bit poky and wheezy...it sounds a bit like a good distance bike and comfy..maybe a power commander and pipe would unleash a few more horses...but fuel economy seems good as stock. Anyone know anything about them (Very much a tentative enquiry as funds a long way off at the mo)

Me and me trust Beemer 'explored' the road south from Dalmellington to Ayr on Friday...shitty weather kept the pilgrims off the road...bloody hell! if it wasn't for the piss poor surface in places...what a hoot! ....airborne in places..pos and neg camber twisties..I shall bring a bike at some juncture and get proper acquainted!
Thank you Ayrshire

General / New Versys 1000
« on: 08 November 2011, 11:31:41 am »
Kawasaki have unveiled their Versys 1000 in Milan. I kinda liked the idea of the original Versys just thought it was a bit challenged in the looks dept and didnt like all the 'trellis' work around the rear.
The new bike I am not sure what to make of it...my mind says it looks like a 'Town and Country' sx1000...is that accurate or even fair..I don't know..But not sure that this type of bike needs or suits an inline 4...

For Sale & Wanted / FZS600 Bits needed
« on: 06 November 2011, 09:14:59 pm »
Frankenfazer has gone to a new home leaving me with just the Fazer from the Black Lagoon (Working title) so it's a 98 R in black and rust and will be my Fazer for 2012 or until business picks up. Sooo on a cursory examination she needs --stanchions, headlamp bulb carrier for the ns lamp, carb rubbers, stainless headers, battery...please bear me in mind if you are getting rid of any of these?

General / Graphics bods
« on: 28 October 2011, 08:12:06 pm »
I have looked at all the 'Free' Graphics things on T web and cant find what I want...basically I would like to create a logo for my new venture (K2 Contracts Ltd.) and have an idea of what I want it to look like .... I want a bold typeface and the logo to have a large 'K' with the no '2' attached by the hook of the 2 to the upward diagonal element of the K. The letter K itself I want to have arranged so that the vertical element is high enough to be level with the top of the 2 and is in itself a block of colour against the black of the rest of the symbol. I would want to have the block dark jade green, turquoise, yellow, or red (for various activities we may undertake) then the words Contracts Ltd. in bold black italic running horizontaly below the 2 .... Anyone even willing to have a go?...

General / 'Normal' service resumption
« on: 23 October 2011, 09:48:01 pm »
Some may have noticed my spouting being even more erratic than usual and I feel now I can enter my plea in mitigation.
Went to a family wedding in Cornwall recently and while there I  took a headache....well more like being physically punched in the back of the head (No it wasn't a Gypsy wedding) however said headache diminished in intensity but 10 days later I was still struggling a bit and had developed a bit of a stutter which is not like me but things have been a little stressful lately.
Mrs M insisted I go to GPs and I expected the usual 'take some aspirin' advice and sending on my way rejoicing. This however was not to be....I got a locum who took a look and despatched me to Portsmouth QA Hospital...CT scan and Lumbar puncture later results were inconclusive but painkillers working so two days later they were sending me home and I was on my way out the door when I was collared, strapped to a stretcher and wheeched (permit the Scottish venacular) to Southampton neurological unit where they took things a bit more seriously and decided that I had probably had a bleed on the brain...decision was whether to do an angiogram and insert clamps and coils??? (Nah I don't have a clue either) in the affected blood vessel/s...Decision was that the prodding about may do more harm than good and by and large I was fine other than bloody headache so I was discharged Friday to return next Thursday for an MRA scan to try to find the elusive problem.
Things I have learnt...it foccing hurts..NHS staff were by and large amazing.....people have gathered round brilliantly when we were all guessing WTF was going on. 'Tramadol Nights' can be very strange. Currently stutter is all but gone although it feels as though I am sometimes searching for words ..like they have been stored in a different place!
If every experience is a learning experience I could have done without this one.
There you have it...so no need to guess..yes BIG MAC needed his head looked at ...but you all knew that didn't you :)

General / Self employed
« on: 15 October 2011, 05:17:18 pm »
Rather than do the usual act in haste repent at leisure.....I am going self employed and need to do the following
Business plan
Speak to the Bank
Registration (will not need VAT year 1 at least I dont think so at this point)
Get an accountant
Let tax office know and apply for CIS status
Insurances
Website
Printing
Premises - from home initially but I have an eye on a unit which I can probably get v cheap (owned by family friend)
So I am looking for those on here with their own small businesses
I am setting up on a shoestring and can't afford costly mistakes.
I know quite a bit however never too old to learn so any advice, tips or tricks would be appreciated..
