sadly been made redundant AGAIN! fifth time in six years :\ . i wont name the company but i used to drive a 44tonne tipper for them and after we all decided to join unite (nobody else in the company is in the union) they decided they didnt need 6 drivers (out of 18) so after 30 days consultation and a weeks notice we were given our marching orders. they insisted we were surplus to requirement because there was not enough work for us. this was a complete lie as we were run off our feet every day. also eight or nine drivers a week from another depot in ireland came across to work with us because we had too much work and they had none. they are still coming over doing the job. also if there is no work why is the warehouse manager and one of the shunters now going out doing my job  :eek . the union argued that the job was not redundant and we would see them in court if they didnt back down hence there is a tribunal some time this month. are they breaking the law? what if any result can we expect from a tribunal? i have signed on the agency but they wont start me yet because its a long term contract and i am off to turkey for a fortnight next week so as it stands i wont have earned anything for a month! (2 weeks here and 2 in turkey) its a good job we all like beanz on toast for tea (smart price ones at that)!

I may have to sell my Fazer so I'm listing it here as open to offers for it.  It's had  one previous owner to me and has been very well looked after by him with oil changed every 3k miles.  35k miles Summer use only, which were accrued in yearly 3k mile European tours, the bike was then serviced and put away in a heated garage until the following year.

There are small marks of use here and there as is to be expected but the bike looks very good for its age. Stock apart from a blue flame can, genuine Yamaha crash bungs and a belly pan, the bike rides A1. It's due a front tyre but otherwise good to go. Taxed till October (I think) and MOT'd until April or May next year. Sorry to be so vague but I can find out the exact details for interested parties.

I really don't want to part with this bike, but if I have to I thought it best to offer it here before ebay. PM and make me an offer if you are able to buy it cash.

Preston area.

Thanks

Where's the "unread posts since your last visit" gone on my homepage?


Help?? :\

I was looking in the shed and i found a couple of mags with the original write ups of 2003 yamaha 1000 fzs, any one want them scanned and posted on here to veiw?

Don't worry, it's not mine........


A friend of mine is in Broomfield Hospitalafter throwing his Fazer Gen1 down the road. He's fine, but apparently the Bike's in bits. A sad day to be sure.


May we say a word for our fallen comrade.

Hey all.


First post so here we go.


Got a small oil leak coming from the small hole located in the dummy air fins on the right hand side of the engine. only happens when the engine is warm. its not a major leak but I'm curious to find out if anyone can tell what that hole is for and why it is leaking oil.


Happy riding.

Anyone suggest a HD bullet camera for the bike?
I would prefer just a lens that hooks into a camcorder but it looks like they only do standalone self recording bullet cams.


The VholdR ContourHD 1080P looks ok but a bit expensive and I've seen some off-putting reviews on you-tube.


I'm looking more for quality than price.


This camera looks quite good: [size=78%]http://www.eheavenshopping.com/index.php...cts_id=744[/size]

the peddle powered sort!  :rolleyes



Feels so weird after being away for ages and bloody knackering  :eek

for me it's 10 years (husqvarna) and it's just been refreshed (again).
(piles of bits in sheds don't count btw!)

Could anybody tell me the size of the bolts in the picture?



Thanks in advance for any help
