Met Dead_Eye at the Stevenage Cineworld to watch Fast & Furious 6. A good film, and a nice way to while away an afternoon!

Thanks for tellin me guys!!!!

Theres me hanging around all day in my local car park thinking that F&F 6 would go with "straight to car boot" format

Rear caliper seals turned up so spent the day sorting it out, cleaning it up and bleeding the system with my new braided lines. Then turned my attention to the front and got them sorted as well - could probably do with new seals at the front as well, but its expensive and its not in dire need as all the pistons move (1 was stubborn, but out of 8 that's not bad :P)

So yay for new brakes, did a little bit of a test and all feels good, shall know more when I go out for a decent ride

More like a snail!

The red VFR belongs to a Uni friend of mine. He's also on a restricted 33 brake license, but his retrictor is on the throttle, he can barely twist it - horrible to ride!! The Fazer runs rings round him. Literally - it's faster (on 33bhp at least

) and handles better!!

Did a Slow Riding/ Machine Control course with the Solent Advanced Motorcyclists this morning, then went to Russ' Tyres in Horndean to get a new front in the afternoon, followed by 100 miles or so of fun whilst scrubbing it in

nakedadder · « **Reply #434 on:** 18 May 2013, 11:32:43 pm »

Cleaned it before going for one last blast on my favourite local roads before part chopping it on Monday, after nearly nine years the Fazer still manages to put a real 'ear to ear' grin on my face

, but I just fancy a change

gave it a blast in the Chepstow lanes,

Just arrived back from the Anglesey Circuit on the Fazer, 180 miles, great weather. Classic Racing Motorcycle Club meeting, great racing, good to see the old machines performing well.
Received my first Foccer salute at 10am near Bethesda. I wasn't quick enough to respond so apologies to you. It was much appreciated.

did a bad thing - just decided that I cant live with the bright yellow paint on the replacement tank ant more - so I removed the yellow decals and painted the tank - I will post some photos if it comes out ok- fingers crossed!

Rode around Worcestershire including some nice quiet backroads through scenic villages-had one "plonker" in a BMW tailgating me for a short distance but soon despatched him

Grahamm · « **Reply #440 on:** 19 May 2013, 08:18:27 pm »

Rode it up to Box Hill again, this time with a couple of guys from the Solent Advanced Motorcyclists.

Arrived back at Loomies after a great final blast along the A272 with a huge grin on my face!

Ian-man · « **Reply #443 on:** 19 May 2013, 11:24:30 pm »

Fitted new piston seals to my rear caliper and a refurb kit to my rear master cylinder. Fitted new braided lines and hh pads front and back and bled all round. Stops now, yay.

Went out past Pateley Bridge and Greenhow. Stunning roads, stunning countryside. Before I knew it, I'd done 75 miles.
