Yeah,  but wonder if they ever sold one at that price, You'd end up chopping the bike in to pay for it!!!

Starting to sound like a lonely hearts club! lol

YUP-- can buy a decent bike for that sort of money!!

If you are looking for one I am just about to replace my standard one with a Scorpion?

In my younger days had a yam US custom, missus was on back, when I took my eyes off the road to ogle a brand new cbx at roadside, turned round just in time to see the Lada estate in front had stopped. Hit the back of it, missus landed in front of it I hit the tailgate.

But when I stood up the bike was sitting perfectly upside down with the front wheel spinning, Forks were fubarred but it was unreal, no phones with cameras in those days.

What made it worse was that I walked towards the bike first, she has never forgiven me for it and rags me to this day.

60 last August and just decided to get back on after a time out:

You will know when its time!!
 but in your case thats a long way off.

Can you really see yourself sitting indoors or in a car when the spring/summer sun arrives? Guess I mean about now 

Thats what you get when you live in a war zone!!

Once again just proves what bunch of mongrels we are in the UK.

But I am sure we have every set of Temp Traffic lights in Europe here in Essex at moment!!

Happy to dig up roads but the repairs are feckin deadly. 

Why do they have to spend 90% of their road repair budget in 1 month?

Aint changed much except when they stopped eating the kids some grew up and instead of fighting old school they use blades.

Thankfully the dock gates have gone and been replaced with a new entry, everytime I go near it, there seems to be a new huge logistics hub going up, destroying the neighbourhood--there no place left to fight now.

And the big fella you met is known locally as deckie as he was always lying on it. hehe 

But seriously as a Glaswegian it aint nothing compared to the Gorballs or Drumchapell.

Oh and forgot to say I get on well with my neighbours so looking for loud but not earsplitting!!

Got to agree  every Foccer pat themselves on the back this is the best forum bar none!!

cheers guys

Cheers darrsi we got it up by lifting back end pulling it up and back but I could have sworn the fazer's chassis was too low?
 will check and see if any evidence of twisting, doesn't look particularly corroded.

Got wheels back 10 minutes ago £30 for both fitted and balanced at Chadwell motorcycles these guys are ace quoted me £40 to unsieze rear caliper and when I went to collect charged £35 inc new seals and bleeding.

While the wheels were off decided to check sprocket nut after reading scare stories, but thankfully everything looks good.
