General / What a great day for a ride out
« on: 09 March 2014, 07:17:26 pm »
WOW! Its been the best march day for a few years and it was a Sunday, I went to the coast had an ice-cream and boy was it busy, so great to see the country enjoying this fab Sunday and then home, somehow managed around 100 miles mostly "A" roads and a few duel carriageways, 1 having a speed trap which was bluntly aimed at bikers and no I was being a good boy at that moment.


Any one else out enjoying the wall to wall sunshine?

General / Open Face, Piss Pot (safe?)
« on: 06 March 2014, 07:26:43 pm »
My job gives me a great insight into road safety and this morning I found myself dealing with a poor HD rider that had came together with a small HGV. He was wearing an open faced helmet and is now a few teeth short and has a seriously painful jaw along with other injuries.
I'm not a law man so don't know the laws on lids but when is a helmet not a helmet? Or when does a helmet become a hat?

General / Love Handles :)) Who's got um or used um
« on: 01 March 2014, 04:03:33 pm »
Just purchased a set made by Oxford (£26.00). I didn't dare buy non branded  :eek  if they failed.


Ive never used anything like these before but seem a great idea. My good lady is not sure if she can trust them but they come with a velcro inner strap and a trident connector outer band.


Ill try um out when it dries up but wanted some users thoughts?

General / Hayabusa
« on: 15 February 2014, 04:38:38 pm »
I'm sorry, but happy to say I've traded my fz6 for an 08 Hayabusa. It's a very different bike but suits my needs a bit more as I often ride 2 up and need the torque.
Yes it is ballistic but in all honesty I've yet to give it the beans in the early gears let alone the top.
I'm hoping to get out tomorrow weather permitting.
I'll keep popping by
Cheers

FZS600 Fazer / Front end required (cosmetics) due to crash!
« on: 17 November 2013, 06:23:28 pm »
My good friend had just slid off his 2000 x reg Fazer. Unlucky for him his slide ended under a focus. He needs fairing, lights, off side indicator, clocks, both mirrors and brackets.
Any one ?

General / Yamaha stickers
« on: 17 November 2013, 10:04:22 am »
A mate has just purchased a printer that can just about turn out any sticker you can think off. These were £6 a pair and I think there the dogs! All in vinyl any colour and a simple to fix. If interested just reply and I'll get him to sort out.

FZ6 / Fazer / Is the s2 a quick bike?
« on: 16 August 2013, 08:06:30 pm »
I have had my s2 for a few weeks now and around 700 miles and I thought it would hold its own but am very surprised at is performance. I'm no road racer but I have been out with a few friends and up to 70 mph....hmmm it's just about as quick as any bike. Above 3 figures it begins to trail off but to be honest that's not a problem for me.

FZ6 / Fazer / Throttle response and gear change.
« on: 28 July 2013, 04:11:13 pm »
Probably been covered a thousand times but are there any improvement that can be done to improve both these?

Introduction / Hi from sunny Norfolk.
« on: 26 July 2013, 06:06:11 pm »
Hi,
This is my step back into biking after a 12 year break!!

I have just (2 weeks ago) picked up my Fazer S2 on an 09 plate. 4500 miles mint.

Wow how I have missed having a bike!

Only downside is a slightly clunky gear change at low revs, suppose this has to be expected and a snappy throttle. This could be down to me or the fact that most miles are covered with a pillion my good wife.

Anyway treat me kind please, and I'll try to contribute :)
