This months issue has just dropped on the mat

Maybe FOC-U shouldnt have pissed off Mark Williams when he first asked for help as theres a couple of mistakes

It is in general  a good article,  Deefer is his usual star of the show self, ( tho you do appear to have new partner at work " Paul at Motorcycle Republic" ??)  and the bike comes out as exactly what is is , A true classic

But ................  A recall to change the gearbox output shaft from 9mm to 12 mm   errrr  news to me

And headlight mod needs either a snip to a wire or a extra lamp wired into holes that already exist in the headlamps ????

Fairing got a redesign in 2000 ?  maybe he means paint so we`ll let that ride

Dont Over-torque sprocket nut as engine rotation torques it further which can cause it to snap off .Possibly nut issue lost in translation a tad

Nit picking aside, like I said its pretty decent and 3 full colour pages in one of the best bike mags around isnt to be sniffed at

You know who you are , but then again not sure how many of you bother with this these days , this site is a shadow of its former self

Any road I guess most of you use Faceburk or twatter , im not on either  so if you do still look here pass this on

On June 8th it is the 10th anniversary of FF1  Yep 10 fuckin years, how mad is that

My original plan was to sort an FF similar to the first but hey ho, life got in the way. Health ( of the ill sort, family not us ), Wealth ( usual lack of) and Happiness ( no probs in that dept ) conspire to scupper the best laid plans so FF1 Revisited aint going to happen.

  BUT   We should try and do something to try and commenerate the original and best FOC-U trips, so any suggestions ??

My opener is a bit too late but you never know

Myself and my Fiance ( yep you read that right ,it happens to us all eventually  new hats required around middle of Oct ) are off on 1st to 12th  June to ride  The Route Des Grand Alpes taking in the biggest French Cols that arent under snow and will be around Guillestre on 8th of June so will raise a beer ( or even a glass of grandads eau de vie  ) and Dambuster across the square  in memory of those great trips we had

Like I said a bit late notice but if any of you are that side of the channel around then , well hey I have the same mob number  you now what to do

Nuff said

We had some great times , lets not forget them

Hope to see some of you soon

ALLEZ OOP LA FORAY !!!!!

I live in Manchester and have had the " pleasure " of  spending all night in the pub with some FOC-U person from  the south   Are they all such lightweights down there. 10 Pints of Hoegarderten and he wants to call it quits,  Nowt like a bikers loft in belgium where the real Hardcore beer it up . You know who you are !!!
