Title: Sad Time as am thinking of maybe selling my FZ1
Post by: chaparral02 on 09 April 2012, 01:53:18 am
The last of my biking friends i go riding with and touring with is selling his motorbike as he very short on funds and needs the money...
With none my other mates owning a motorbike anymore, i don't know if it really worth me keeping my FZ1 as i don't seem to get much enjoyment anymore when going out riding on my own or feel like going touring on my own..
I live in guernsey which is a very small island and has a 35mph max speed limit,So most my riding fun use to mainly comes from me and my mates taking are motorbikes away to france..
 
I love my bike and have been riding motorbikes from the age of 14 (am now 43)
I really don't know what i want to do right now...

I can see why, you can't just go for a quick blast when the mood suits.
How about an enduro bike. Is there any where you can go off road on the island. Anything over 35 on a 250 single cylinder on the road aint breathtaking anyway but as soon as you hit the dirt it's a blast :)

I would love to own an off road bike again,,
But i don't think my middle aged body could take falling off the bike all the time like i use to when i was a teenager   :lol

He didn't come to Somerset, it was Oxford way, we had some private detective pillock in the seventies called shoestring.
