Hey Dek , it does . laughing out loudly . That was some year , You me, Driller (rip mate} battling nae sayers.
Ivan with his FCE and all the shanigans quite a ride.
Sadly my wife of 20 years lost her mum , mid life crises enveloped she had a sordid affair and my daughter 14 then and I stayed together.
Then redundancy and a bad bike smash with a Ambulance overtaking on a blind bend near finished me off.
But my daughter is in Bristol uni , hands off Matty pmsl!
I'm a systems engineer now and diagnostics fault finding skills in motorcycles has progressed lots.
I bought this Fz1 again to take my new Fiancee over the water and through the French Alps
I knew the bike and did all the work never done more than 130mph fsh and set up nicely.
WP rear shock and K-tech front internals in the forks, Gilles rear sets, Pazzo's, Akrapovic carbon end can, a Yamaha Comfort seat and a PC111 USB with custom map,
secondary flys out and Lars airbox mod, de-catted and AIS binned too , so she about 140 rwbhp or a incy bit under pulls like a train
So after all that I still have a tuned R1 2008 with 170rwbhp and now a Blue fz1 fazer that needs a tidy exhaust after the previous owner dented the headers ..........
A very big thank you and you'll find the ££££ sent already Dek.
