Good afternoon from North Wales
«

I have recently purchased an 05 FZS 1000 after much deliberation. The information available on this site answered every question that I had and I knew what to expect. It has lived up to and exceeded all my expectations. It really is a wonderful all rounder.
I am an old git (in my 60's), who potters about enjoying the scenery with a slightly younger old git on an FZ6. My first machine was a BSA Sunbeam 250 scooter over 40 years ago, then a DT175 MX, a Yamaha XJ600 for the past 24 years.

Welcome from another "old git" in his 60s!
The backdrop looks vaguely familiar(I used to live in North Wales0-whereabouts was the pic taken?

Thank-you for the warm welcome everybody. The photo was taken two weeks ago at the West Shore, Llandudno. The Great Orme is in the background. I don't think that I'll be there this weekend as rain is forecast today and tomorrow. I'll be out early tomorrow morning for 50 miles on the bicycle before the rain arrives.

Gets a bit breezy on the West Shore when its blowing in from the Irish Sea-but when the suns shining
Great rides around your locality-Conwy valley, Bettws-y-Coed, Snowdonia, Denbigh Moors!-and hers me stuck in Brum!
Enjoy!

As a former racing cyclist i am in good company, slim willy. Cal Crutchlow is very good and has competed against Mark Cavendish in 60 mile road races on the Isle of Man. Bradley Smith and Leon Camier are also class riders. Camier has won road races. Here is a photo of my XJ 600 which I used to carry my bike to events. I will use it for the over 50's Bingo nights.

I was still racing up to 6 years ago when I started with tendon problems. Since then I have seen physios, surgeons, had scans and steroid injections, do lots of stretching and strengthening. Sometimes I have to stop for a couple of months. Saw a new physio recently, trying something different. Hence, I am riding again at present. I have covered around 400000 miles since I started almost 50 years ago.
Heading off into the hills for 50 miles now. Rain will be here by dinnertime.

Rain came in earlier than expected, got caught up in the hills near Corwen with 20 miles to go. Good test, plenty of climbing. My new physio may be onto something. Three months of rides like this and I may be fit enough to go out with my friends. Hope it's dry next Saturday and Sunday. My friend and I are going on the Fazers to Anglesey for the Classic Racing Motorcycle Club meeting. Great venue, beautiful scenery, nice ride there.
