I agree totally regarding jet washing motorbikes and just use a hosepipe at home. Barrie was using the jet at a low setting and was very careful and was fully aware of the dangers, having done hundreds of bikes. He said that in the wrong hands, ( mine ! ), it is not a good idea and that a hosepipe should be used. After two winters of use the underside of the bike was absolutely filthy and needed some assistance to move the crud. I have been using ACF50 for years and all my bikes are treated. As you say, coffee, it's cracking stuff and really does what it says on the tin, which is needed here in North Wales, as at the slightest hint of freezing conditions the salt is laid down.
What type/make of high pressure gun do you use, agricola ? I would consider doing as you do in future.

Yesterday, actually. I took the ' winter ' Fazer to Barrie Walters of Premier Motorcycle Care, Whitchurch, Shropshire, for a treatment of ACF 50. Takes around two hours. Wash , shampoo , rinse , dry , apply ACF 50 , final wipe down. Protected as much as possible for the next 12 months. Taking my other Fazers there in the next few months. Barrie is a top man. Founder of Raven Riders Motorcycle Club, Raven Cafe, Prees Heath, Shropshire.

Hi NitramA. I have had a 2005 Fazer 1000 for the past 6 years and I never pull away with a cold engine, because it will bog down. If I'm going out for a ride I start the engine and leave it running whilst I am putting my gear and helmet on, so it's well warmed up. Never had any problem.

Well, VNA, you are really having a rough time, healthwise, and you have my sincere sympathies. I had a kidney stone many years ago and the sudden pain dropped me to the floor. Fortunately for me it passed through after a period of time. To have multiple stones does not bear thinking about ! I must admit that I had never heard of a lithotripsy machine. Hope that your health improves and that you can enjoy getting out on the bike now that the good weather has arrived.

Thanks for the update VNA. That's really good news that everything is ok following your endoscopy. Ogri is dead right. People on this forum do care about the well-being of their fellow foccers, even though most won't ever meet. Long may it continue !

Where the oesophagus goes down it passes the diaphragm through a gap called the hiatus. Below this it goes into the stomach. The hiatus causes a narrowing of the opening into the stomach and helps prevent stomach contents from going upwards, which is called reflux. If the hiatus is weak reflux of acidic digestive juices into the oesophagus occurs. Depending on individual circumstances there is an operation to tighten the hiatus area, but controlling reflux with medication and lifestyle modifications is usually the route taken by GP's.

A ride to Bala on the FZS 600 to my friends house. Returned home on his FZ6. He's working all week and the MOT on his bike runs out on Friday, so I'm taking it for one tomorrow, then returning it to him. Very heavy holiday traffic. On arriving home I learned that a fellow biker had lost his life this morning on the A5 Padog bends near Betws y Coed following a crash involving a Volkswagen Sharan and a Honda motorcycle. Desperately sad news. My heart goes out to his family.

Thanks ogri. I'm getting concerned about VNA too.

Cheers midden. Much appreciated.

Good to hear that nothing sinister was found. In my case a hiatus hernia was found too, plus an infection in the oesophagus and pharynx, which partly explains the problem swallowing food and keeping it down. In the stomach multiple polyps were found, caused by years of taking Proton Pump Inhibitors. Awaiting biopsy results for these. Onwards and upwards now, hopefully !

Sorry to hear this, midden. At least you had a laugh before the wretching ! I was ' lucky ' in that I was able to see in Technicolor the gory details as the camera descended into the stomach. Made me think of the film ' Fantastic Voyage ' from 1966. What were the findings ? Biopsies taken ?

We'll have to form an endoscopy club. Seems to be a few of us having them. Hope everything is good on Sunday, midden.

Hi VNA. Thinking of you this morning as I was undergoing an endoscopy. I had the Xylocaine spray in throat and the camera was inserted. A little bit of retching as the throat was sprayed but apart from that everything was fine. Scope into stomach and duodenum and I watched the images on screen. Biopsies taken from stomach, didn't feel anything. Don't be fearful, you will be fine. All the best to you. When are you booked in for ?

Hi Bally- .Did you buy another Fazer as a replacement, or something else ?

Welcome to the forum, Dave. There is a wealth of knowledge available here. Enjoy your Fazer now that the better weather is upon us.
