Realising that I have let myself down, my family and all the Fazer riders that are out there including those that have been before and those yet to come. So this afternoon I have tried to put right all the damage that I have done, or at least made a start in undoing my crimes.

I personally feel that the grey primer as you call it Mr Unfazed is more preferable to the red lead or red oxide I have seen some of the less desirable Fazers in.
LOL
But still think that your Fazer is a cracking looking bike for 80+K miles. do they call that red 'Period'
I know your bike is female cos I heard someone the other day say 'Look at the C--t on that bike'

Here you go - here is the left hand side that comes off with less faff and the second picture is my mop set, each mop is a different grade to go with the different soap

Sharpy, what a fine fellow you are to take the time to share your experience and hopefully steer Tommy in the right direction. Since Tommy has hung up the hair scissors and is a man of leisure, I'm sure he'll have plenty of time to attempt to match the finish you've achieved  :nana

Got the scissors, hair dryer, curlers and tongs back out of retirement, sold the fazer, didn't get much for it the bloke who bought it said as it was in such a shit state and had been neglected of late he would only offer me £800 of the £1750 that I was asking for, but I bargained hard and we eventually agreed on £675-00  :lol Just enough to purchase new hair sprays, shampoos for different types of hair, conditioners, hair grips , towels, hair brushes and combs. the Mrs has made a hanging basket out of my helmet (That's my Crash Helmet) and has planted pansy's in my bike boots (They look quite good one either side of the front door) taxed my hair dressers transport. The wife said I have brought all this on myself because of my tardy and slothful ways and has consigned me to sleep in my car. Picture below or is it above. Complete with the new sticker supplied by a really helpful Foccer, that reads 'No Hair Dressing Equipment Left In This Vehicle Overnight'
So Foc you lot I'm off the join the Big Girls MR2 Owners Club :foc

Funny you say that, spotted Tommy a few nights back - me and other care assistants had to go looking for the old git again. We eventually found him

I think Unfazed and Frosties (Hello Tiger) have teamed up to slag me off and ruin my impeccable reputation. Check out the lunch box in that pick though. Lol

I find that if it is nice and shiny rust cannot get hold as it just slides off

oxidation then if you like, but as this is a bike forum I thought that it best to stay away from big words.
