what did you do with your fazer today ?

[red98]

thats the same route i took after camping at glen nevis and then a night camping on the shore of loch lomond.....fantastic roads allround ,your lucky to have them on your doorstep,bit of a trek for me     

[Hedgetrimmer]

Glasgow to Malaig and back, 340 miles.......the mighty Fazer Thou didn't miss a beat..... Brilliant day out, pissed down big style on the way back and glad I put Dunlop Roadsmarts on a few weeks ago, great grip in the wet

Malaig road is the one with all the speed limit signs on the tight bends - dual carriageway? Foc me it was windy when I did that road! Good ride tho'.

I think you remember wrong Nick as there are no dual carriage ways to Mallaig

Don't know why I remember it that way then, but there's a longish section that's been improved recently, 30 mph limit signs on all the bends?

[unfazed]

First trip with these on today. Strangely enough these give more feel than the Blue Spot did with the stainless brake lines.
 

[mickvp]

took the rear wheel off and dropped it off at my mechanic mate to have the tyre swapped over - then ill get the front tomorrow

[mickvp]

refitted my front wheel to  the bike after the tyre getting changed. then noticed they had put the tyre on backwards...so it will need to go back again. tw$ts 

[Davebo]

Popped a new Motobatt on and tensed for the starter button. Would I get the click of death ?

No!! Started like a gem.

Did a full service on my bike today ... Think it needed it just ticked over 40k . Starts and runs smoother now .

[stinch182]

Fun getting to the air filter too ...

Not suprising considering the condition of that old air cleaner

[fazersharp]

I have a new air filter waiting to fit too. Do you have any tips from just doing this yourself

[Hedgetrimmer]

Just did a short afternoon run to take advantage of the only bit of decent weather we're likely to have this weekend - A361 to Chipping Norton, A44 to Evesham, downhill on Fish Hill for first time but too much traffic to really enjoy it, A46 to Alcester then Stratford-upon-Avon (boring bit), A422 to Banbury, then back home on A361. Nice fast A road route, 110 miles, happy

Left home and went to Moffat then M74/M6 to the Lakeland Motor Museum spent time wandering around, worth a visit if you havent been then home again via Moffat to get off the motorway! God they r boring on a bike

It's pretty simple . Tank off pull back cover 4 screws out with old in with new .

Get something to plug the fuel pipe with otherwise residual will pour out over your bike after disconnecting.
Be careful not to kink said fuel hose when placing tank back in place or you'll be chasing around a dodgy spluttering engine.
replace with a decent filter.yamaha or k&n, apparently some aftermarkets dont fit too snug.

up at 04:30 for the 7:30 ferry from cairnryan to belfast headed south through portaferry to newcastle, had a bite to eat, down to newry, back north to dundrod and back to belfast for the 19:30 ferry back to cairnryan and home to bed about 23:30, 270 dry miles, a good day out.

[red98]

met up with EXUPNUT,PUNKSTIG,DEADEYE and PAULKEMP.....at the ace cafe for the ride down to brighton,good day with fishes and chipies on the sea front......little bit of rain on the way home 

[Grahamm]

Went on a Group Ride through the Pirbright Twisties. Fortunately the rain held off until we were on the way back

Nice one, did you not fancy doing the NW200 circuit as well, the Cairnryan /Larne ferry I think is better as it gives you more time being the much shorter route. Were there many bikes about round Dundrod ? I love having a blast round there. It is a fantastic run down to Newcastle  etc!
I used to live not far from Dundrod and used to get up there often, used to sit at the Joey Dunlop stand and just listen to the silence, sounds daft I know. Would just shut my eyes and remember the great times I had at the Ulster over all the years. I can still see Joey &Robert on the podium along with other greats even before there time, Redman, Hailwood, Agostini. Daft I know

[Lez72]

Fitted and bled new Venhill stainless front brake lines to match the rear and replaced fuel filter    If anyone is thinking of fitting stainless lines I suggest you give these a go. Top quality and much easier to fit than other top name lines I have fitted to other bikes in the past. Good customer support too 
P.S. I hate bleeding brakes 

[unfazed]

did'nt have time to go the NW 200 track, there were a few bikes at dundrod 8-10, a nice run down to Newcastle we stopped at the first car park on the left but when we were leaving there were lots of bikes parked farther up the street, it was a good day out, definately do it again.

[noggythenog]

Took it for a spin & foc it is handling sweet!


Nothing fell off


I didnt fall off



Dropped it off at the garage to get my front lamp & indicators wired up.


Went to the spray shop with a mystery mod.....expensive job but will be worth it being done properly & always gonna get good money if i sell it on in future.

[david095]

nothing exciting, fitted a centre stand, makes it feel a lot more stable to work on

Well went for my planned ride today with a mate, he was on his 900 Hornet. All going well but had a moment when white van man decided to ignore the stop sign and was practically on top of me, managed to swing round him thankfully nothing coming the other way. We convinced to stop and although I do not speak much Spanish I think he got the gist of the conversation . Apart from that 180kms of sun and fun.
