Author Topic: Ivanising Visit in June - Checking on Interest (Read 7394 times)

Falcon 269 · « **on:** 04 April 2013, 07:34:12 pm »

It's been mentioned a few times in 'Ivanising' threads that I had plans to make trip with the toolkit in May. Family things and work have conspired against that but I think I can slot in a trip early in June.

Provisional dates are Friday 14th June - Monday 17th June.

I have around 6 names so far. I need to work on at least 10 bikes, though, to make it worthwhile travelling over.

If you'd like more information, please drop me a line direct (mikegreatorexAThotmail.com) and I'll tell you all you need to know (and probably loads you didn't

) by return.

Cheers!

Mike

If you have any doubts about getting your bike done, I can only say that Mike Ivanised my Gen1 about 18 months ago, and it's been great. I could have done it myself, but it would have taken me 4 or 5 times longer, and getting someone who knows as much about Fazers as Mike checking the bike over is well worth while in itself!

june Aghhhhhhhhhh

I've just e-mailed all the owners who have contacted me previously about my 2013 plans. Hopefully I've included everyone but if you haven't got a message from me this morning, please e-mail me and let me know so that I can add you back into the provisional schedule.

If you could also include your location and a contact phone number, that would be really useful in putting together the itinerary.

Cheers!

Mike

PS. Problems with June, Luke? Anticipating typical UK summer weather, perhaps?

does anyone know where in the country mike does the bikes and at what sort of average cost?

richfzs · « **Reply #8 on:** 05 April 2013, 07:30:10 pm »

At a rough guess, I'd say mike probably knows :wink

Sometimes I give helpful info as well - so, mike will no doubt be in touch

I am one of the original 6
and i am near swansea south wales.
And it looks like he might be useing my workshop for other bikes
for the Ivanising mod if need be.
E-mail mike and he will give you all the info you need
from the Fully monty to the slip on.
one of my mates has had his bike done back in 2006 by mike and it still goes very very well.
so well he wont sell it, this is the reason why i bought a fazer 1000.
so come on lads get yourself Ivanised

E-mail for all the information you'll need to make decision.

Where depends on where the bikes are ...

There is no decision ...............................Just do it

bobdog · « **Reply #12 on:** 07 April 2013, 09:00:26 am »

im in mike i sent you a email, through the foc site, its not showing as sent on my e.mail though. let me know if you have not recieved thanks.

Falcon 269 · « **Reply #13 on:** 07 April 2013, 05:15:59 pm »

I received, Bob, and replied but I don't know for sure how this e-mail within the forum thing works as it comes through with a 'no reply' header in the address line.

That's why I ask folks to e-mail me direct rather than PM or forum-linked e-mails.

bobdog · « **Reply #14 on:** 07 April 2013, 06:58:54 pm »

hi mate cant find it so i have sent direct from my e.mail

Falcon 269 · « **Reply #15 on:** 07 April 2013, 09:14:19 pm »

Got it, Bob - reply sent a few minutes ago.

To anyone else planning to get in touch for more information, please don't PM me or send e-mails via the forum.

I do all the coordination for these trips by e-mail and frequently use group e-mail messages to save time and to ensure that everyone knows what's going to happen. That's not possible with PMs or the forum links.

Thanks,

Mike

The Cunning Plan is taking shape!

Subject to replies from a few owners about possible venues/dates, it looks like I'll be flying in to Gatwick, working in Kent first then motoring up to the W Midlands for a day. After that, Liverpool/Manchester area for another day or two, depending on how many confirm in that region.

At this time I don't seem to have solid interest from enough owners further north to merit me travelling beyond Manchester but I'm still willing to consider it at this stage. However, I need to book flights soon before they start getting expensive, so this window of opportunity will close in one week from now.

Mike

I've just PM'd you as well, but thought I'd stick it up here too. I'm up in Scotland, so not sure if you're coming up this far, or even to the far north of England. Just bought my fazer 1000 tonight after about 5 years on an FZS600, I was going to wait to get used to the extra power before I thought since you are coming over in June, I may as well see about getting this done.

Cheers

Hi Des,

Congratulations on your new bike.

I've replied by PM, too, but will say the same as above in this thread ... please contact me via e-mail direct rather than PM, as this makes it much easier for me to provide a comprehensive reply and also to keep track in one place of owners who've shown an interest in getting 'Ivanised'.

Thanks

Mike

Deswilson · « **Reply #23 on:** 16 April 2013, 09:51:48 pm »

Sorry Mike

Never read all the posts above, was just too excited about my new bike. I've now emailed you directly.

Cheers
