Thanks Fizzy Pies & Davebo, we have slightly different laws here in Guernsey, so I could ride it unrestricted on L's upto 2 years, I did 16 months.
Anyway on a different note, did the dual dipped mod today, connecting to the green wire, shield removed, H4 - Phillips extreme vision, just got to get a matching H1, much better, but still thinking about going the HID route with some modded ones that I had on a Volvo V40, but not sure if I want to fit them to my Saab. Foc, I have a habit of having vehicles with old foc'd lights - lol

Removed the standard exhaust stud nuts & fitted 8 stainless domed head nuts in their place

Thrashed the living bejesus out of it. My wife keeps telling me to stop the inane giggling.

That's what we like to hear! On the way back from Loomies, or down the M3?

Fitted some secondhand acerbis dual roads and went out for a couple of hours to see what difference they made.

Definately better for my poor fingers,

Found Saturday evening's slightly scary ride home wasn't entirely due to frosty roads... low rear tyre pressure thanks to a self tapping screw had something to do with it too.
So I'll miss what looks like the last few bike-able days before the weather gets cold enough for me to prefer the car.

All 'A' roads. From my work and then back to home. I was failing to keep up with my mates ZZR1400. He was leaving black lines at every opportunity snd now needs a new back tyre.

After reading about the marvels of peanut butter....... I gave it a whirl! I washed both sides in my usual wash mcguires gold class.

But yeah looks like I might do them properly with it!

I used some peanut butter on a faded top box recently and it turned out great initially, but after a week or two the faded look came back.

Perhaps you could give it buff with a slice of wholemeal

I brushed it with piccalilli

At a steady 55mph on the M6 I considered that it may have been a mistake to ride the Fazer to work today.

The lorry getting blown into my lane proved it was definitely a mistake to ride the Fazer to work today.

Ordered new chain and sprox

(£136 fitted)

Picked it up off the floor after the wind decided it didn't need to be upright anymore

I looked at it through the window of my car with the heated seats on, and climate control,

Let's just say I'll never moan about having the swerve test in the Mod 1!

Hopefully just bought a pristine 2009 FZ1 with 10k miles on it you will all know the one I mean. Just waiting on the seller contacting me.

Washed the old girl. For a 10 year old bike, with 30k on the clock, I must say she's doing pretty damn well!
Gonna miss how bloody practical she is as well when I come to selling her in a few weeks!

Looks good , but what is that sitting under the cover on the ABBA stand.

NorthWestern · « **Reply #1646 on:** 06 December 2013, 03:28:46 pm »

Ordered lots of mould making supplies.....and carbon fibre cloth!

Would you sell the tank cover, being trying to get one like that for ages?

What did I do with my Fazer today? Well I guess it was only a matter of time.

For the first time in months I went out for a ride just for the hell of it, I was out for 5 minutes, lost the grip on the front end going round a mini roundabout and kissed a BMW. Luckily, hitting it kept me upright, but I took a chunk out of his back wheel and we swapped paint.

Pisser was breaking my big toe in the process, but at least my left leg protected the bike. $:\$
