Pity you couldn't park properly :pokefun

New tyres going on again tomorrow. Still a couple of thousand left in these ones, so will keep them, but a BIG trip coming up, so want fresh ones on there. Less than two weeks to go, can't wait!  :)
Hope it's back up here as you've stolen that strange thing that was in the sky last week up here! :pokefun


No, no, we didn't steal it, we let you borrow it for a while  ;)
If you're really nice, maybe Red Ceri will let you borrow it for a little while longer when he comes up next week...say please! :lol


Off to Europe  :)  First proper tour over there for me. Battle of the Bulge area and museums with a small group to start with, then off down to the Alps and wherever our fancy takes us. 24 days of it  :D .


sounds epic hedgetrimmer,,enjoy ,,lots of pics ,hope the weather is kind to u ,jammy git

Went to the marshal meeting this morning for this http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,20077.0.html

Then in the afternoon I went to Biker Down at Motherwell Firestation

Got to say, look up your local firestation or on Facebook to see if you can get on one of these as its very informative and could help you or your buddy when your out riding and more importantly it's FREE :thumbup :)

Couldn't go anywhere, still nursing a concussion headache, black eye and bruising after last weekends low speed tumble. :'( :'( :'(

FFS all my tumbles bar one have been under 30Mph or someone hitting me when stopped.

The only high speed one (70mph) one I ever had, I got up and walked away without even a foccing bruise.

Didn't know you'd had an off Pat, hope you're ok, not much damage to bike?


I seem to specialise in low speed offs these days, but could be considered a good thing on balance  :\  Try hedges, they're generally quite forgiving  ;)

I found out I can't change the oil filter as easily as it's meant to be. Didn't realise the exhaust pipes were after market jobs when I bought it..... no gap for hand to go in nor filter to come out  :'(

Are you sure that its the pipes that are the issue and not the filter that is bigger than an OEM yam one -- is it an OEM yam filter
If your pipes are black then I dont know any one who makes and or would spend money on standard steel replacements, so if they are shiny then they are after market pipes but I dont think they should get in the way of a proper filter.

I'm going by Haynes and a look at one other Fazer that was parked up in town. Pictures on here of other bikes confirm there would normally be a different angle to the pipes. My profile has a pic of it but doesn't give a good view to go by I don't think.

Did not hit anything :eek I think I followed old road signs which were not removed on a realigned road, cannot remember anything from a few seconds before the off until I got home. A&E doc said it is common with concussion.
Downey had a good old laugh telling me how we came home and I disputing it :lol
Memory of 3 things, seeing a kerb and grass, (which I clipped, the kerb not the grass  :lol ) a long straight trying to hold the fairing with my knee and exiting the tunnel.
Still off work with a headache that is slowly improving. First time banging my head in an off in 40 years. Black eye was something else, but nearly gone now 8)
Parts for the bike should be here next week, but still trying to decide on what helmet to buy, had a Shark Vision R. At lease I have a spare HJC which I can use until I make my mind up.
Drove the car today for the first time, concentration levels seems to have returned, but will wait until the weekend to go back on the 600.
Got the usual questions  from a few non bikers, "Are you going to give up the bike now?" and they get my usual answer, "Would you give up driving cars if you crashed one?"

Gave it a check-over as the MOT is due. Brakes, lights and rear tyre is ok, but front is down on the wear markers, so phoned Russ (who's back at Burrfields in Portsmouth) to get a Bridgestone T30 on Friday.
