Hello all,

I've just bought a Fazer (1999 FZS600) so I thought I'd pop in here and say hi.  I'm new to Fazer ownership and forums so here goes eh?!

So me...been riding a few years now, had all kinds of bikes, from a shonky old GT750, to a VN1500 bored out to 17 with whacking great apes on it, to a Suzuki DR650 which I toured Australia on.  Love bikes and biking, never happier than when on two wheels, or possibly when spannering two wheeled things.  I love to ride but I also love to get stuck in fixing/bodging/buggering up(more often than I care to admit!)

And the steed...she's a 1999 FZS600 in black, a little rough around the edges but a lovely runner and (from what I've read) only just approaching middle age miles-wise.  Picked her up for a song and from the twice I've ridden her I can already tell that a bond is forming.  The only other 'naked/roadster' I've owned was a dull-as-feck XJ600 and the Fazer's leagues ahead of that. My other steed is a 1992 CBR600 which is currently under Frankenstein's knife, suffering the indignity of a ratfighter conversion.

Looking forward to many misspent evenings talking bullocks on here and the wealth of knowledge you guys undoubtably are.
