Welcome!

I had a Fazer 600 as my first bike, but due to altercations with Mercedes and Mitsubishis, I'm now on a Kwak 400! Still hang around here though, plenty of jokes, advice and abuse flying around. Great site.  :)

And nice to see some more 400s about too!  :D

No I don't really use them either, I did get my lid and locks from them though. I prefer the one near B&Q.

Place called Walkford just past Christchurch.


I ride in all weathers on most days around the Bournemouth/Poole area on my black fazer 600


It's my first big bike and I absolutely love it!
