So here's the deal....
Been in Australia for last 8 years, always ridden offroad but got my road licence before I went there to ride enduro. Had a few Katos and a great time riding offroad paradise.
So the missus loses the plot and we have to leave, had planned another offroad but after being spolit in Oz then all just seems to much hassle... May well look at holidays in europe for that.
So summer hits Cheshire and all I see is road bikes (I'm from Fort WIlliam originally) and thinks to myself i've got to get one of those. But what to get?
Thought a R6 would do but always fancied a bit of touring and then I saw it... Fazer 1000! 2004 Mark 1, on ebay, 60 miles away and pictures look great.
3 days later after some swift negotiation it's mine and on to the open road I gingerly step.... Well f'me what a scream!
I could not have landed more on my feet... The bike pulls like a train and is sooo easy to use. Now realising how little I know about road riding but loving every minute of it!
Taking it really easy (with the occassional flick of a wrist to scare me) and trying to learn how to ride without dropping my beauty.
Feeling like I got just the right machine, sure it's far to powerful for a first on-road machine but how smooth is it to ride and ticks so many boxes so well...
So new to the sport, new to the forum and new to the bike but right now just feeling I couldn't have landed on my feet any better.
Now for some decent weather and a few blasts over to North Wales to really put a smile on my face (avoiding the several hundered speed traps).
Oh happy days!
