FOC its been cold these last 2 weeks on the bike @ work...BRRRRRRRRR . but do-able with the kit i have.
The one thing that we all must do as responsible owners of very powerful bikes is ride within our comfort zones wether it be weather or skill. the more we ride the more skillful we become and so therefore are better able to handle adverse weather conditions..NOTHING BEATS EXPERIENCE. i have been a despatch rider for 20 years and while i love the job and would thrash many bigger bikes and most of u foccers in traffik i still am at a disadvantage when judging fast corners or getting the bike down. i have probably clocked up more riding time and mileage than many on this forum put together but would still be bettered by most of you on the bends..we have different skillsets thats all.
the only other bike i owened was a fazer 600 original and i put 297,000 miles on that B4 it fell apart so i knew that i wanted to go to a litre. i looked for a long time and saw many bikes B4 i saw the one i bought. the fact that it had been sorn 7 outta its 9 years and was mint with only 2500 on the clock swung this purchase for me..i wanted something i could be proud to ride (and clean/lick clean lol) and that it turns heads makes me feel good (bit of a poser u see lol) its brilliant to ride brilliant to look at and it REALLY DOES DO IT ALL IN STYLE.
i put 3500 miles on it in the year i had it because i will only ride it in the dry and only with others because i enjoy it more.all week i ride company bandit on my own and while i love it i find it uninspiring. i have friends who regularly piss of to the nurburgring or do track days on their r1/gixer/zx10 or whatever but it just aint me.YET lol my brother got a fazer 6 3 yr ago when he passed his test on my reccomendation then sold and bought a thou gen1. he wrote it off after 6 mnth and the day after the crash got another of ebay. he lives nr royston and commutes to radlett and in 2 years he out rides me(his is ivanised) and gets the foccer down lower and pisses me off regular lol BUT his bike looks like a piece a shit haha
i will get the measure of this bike and would like to ride with other foccers hence my post LONDON FOCCERS in the meet section
to the guy who posted 55 plate 2092 miles.......I HATE YOU
