Hi again folks, and special hi to anyone who remembers me.  I made a very bad mistake 18 months ago, sold my FZS1 and bought a BMW F800ST.  What a pile of poo!  No wonder BMW stands for bring my wallet, and what for I ask?, a crappy old parrallel twin with possible piston slap issues and rear wheel bearing failures, not to mention other faults. :'( Talk about a boring ride, after a few months I had definately had enough, but it took a bit longer to get the idea of another bike change past er indoors.
Anyway, I didn't want another Fazer as I had aleady had on 03 600 foxeye, and an 05 FZS1000S and an 04 FZ1, so over the last few weeks I have been on loads of test rides, culminating in a 08 Fazer thou last Wednesday and a 10reg Fazer 8 last Thursday.
Bottom line, I absolutely loved the Fazer8 ! what a surprise. :lol So I bought the 8 and it is being serviced and delivered this week. Can't wait. 
Pity the Fazer 8 section on here is a bit lonely, I guess that's cos there aren't that many of them. Still It's nice to be back on the site and I daresay I'll stick my nose in some of the none 8 forums for a chat.
Great to be back on the dark side and look forward to exchanging views here.
Anyone near the New Forest/Southamton want to hook up just PM me.

...........that you cut off your neighbours plants, branches etc.
you have to give them back to them don't you? it's law innit..........hopefully!

Boy, are those headlights crap, or what?? I don't normally ride at night, but I did a couple of days ago and was shocked at how poor they are. Has anyone tried the Philips MotoVision bulbs or something similar? I don't want to do a HID conversion.

For those of you that don't know, OMF and Deefer's lad, Matt, is doing the Worlds toughest mudder in the states. (Apologies if this has already been posted, I did have a quick scan)
Matt is currently on his second lap of the ten mile course. On his first lap, he came in the top quarter of the runners. How amazing is that?! The race is over 24 hours.
Good luck Matt! We're all so proud of you back home. Keep going!!!

You can follow Matts progress at the link below. The race ends at 3pm our time tomorrow.

going to put a set of bar mounted mirrors on and was wondering what others have done. The right hand looks simple enough using the mount already there, is that reverse thread in there ?
Left side was thinking one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bike-Universal...4849c59408 which I assume will be normal/right hand thread.
Now then.....If I buy a set of yamaha mirrors will they both be left hand thread, both right hand or one of each ?  :'( :lol

any help welcome........

anyone got out the clutch arm rod bearing and seal and having cover powdered and need to remove it does it come easy or is it a bitch

so i take it no one walked down to their local voting station and wasted 5 mins of their life voting in faceless up their own arse ponces  to oversee the police budget (minus their £65000 wages )
surely the best person for that is the police chief ? so why ,in these days of cutting everything back to the bone do the taxpayers have to now fund all these waste of space persons ?- i thought cameron said at the last gen election he was doing away with the quangos ,well david you just made another 20 or so of them !
christ and to think that untill last month i have been a life long tory myself  :eek
rant over  :evil :rolleyes
