The big green shed I built for my partners brother, then we all fell out and now im in the container while it sits empty.
I could tell you. But then i'd have to kill myself....(is that right?)
its like most things bike related mate. the glory days are gone im afraid. That's why bikes like minty fjrs stir the blood; they take you back to those crazy times, I'd forgotten about the peages being open..yeah that was summat, all those bikes and noise heading back en masse. the only downside I remember is blokes getting bits (calipers ferrchrist sake!!) getting nicked off their bikes if they camped at the circuit.
Took the FJ 1200 out for a run around Souh Leics & Northants this afternoon, while the sun shone. Put a bottle of Forte Moto Power 1 in the tank when I filled up and put another 15 miles on it to run some through. Hopefully it helps keep the dreaded fuel-gunge from forming in the carbs over the quiet winter months !! I'll be taking the Fazer's out over the next week or so and doing the same thing when I fill them up too.Couldn't resist taking some pics of the old girl in the sun though .
Might have to buy it a cake.
Woke the Speed Triple up from its summer and autumn slumber in preparation for its winter duty. Cleaned and lubed the chain, pumped up the tyres, gave the button a prod and it burst into life first go. After a warm up, the oil got dropped and replaced with a sumpful of Motul's finest.Yesterday was the London to Brighton veteran car run, so that was an opportunity for a day out to blast any cobwebs away. I've had it since new in April '94, so it'll be 25 next year. Might have to buy it a cake.
It was a toss up back in the day whether to go for an FJ or a Pan, the shaft drive clinched it. That is one lovely bike mate. .at the moment I'm painting a load of Ercol furniture,we couldn't afford a new dining room suite so we decided to paint everything in 2 colours and then flat it a bit so it looks like that shabby chic,only done one and a half chairs at the moment and it don't half take some time!,lot cheaper than a new one though,should be finished by Christmas I hope.
Quote Might have to buy it a cake.Lovely bike. I've also got an owned since new 2004 one that's only 15 years old next year. Might buy it a cupcake
