Took the Cage in for its MOT today, Failed for a broken front suspension spring and both rear indicator bulbs for being clear not red. Nothing wrong with the lenses colour not faded and no cracks or splits, how long has this been in force as they were the same bulbs as were fitted last year when it passed. :deal

Hi All,

I've entered a team into the MCN fantasy road race competition for 2012.

I've also created a private league for a little light competition between us foccers.

If you fancy joining in, here's the link (the top prize is an FZ8  )

create a team and then join the "Foc U" league by entering the following code : 4150

At the weekend I had the misfortune of taking a FZ8-N out for a test ride and was somewhat disappointed to say the least. 3 years ago I owned a 54' plate Fazer 1000 which I had Ivans kitted and it was great. Anyway I moved on to other bikes (Speed Triple, Bandit, Harley) but I have a test ride booked on a FZ1-N this coming weekend. Is it massively different to a Fazer thou? (I mean in terms of riding, handling etc, obviously the lack of fairing will make a difference) How do they compare power delivery wise?
Personally I think the FZ1 looks absoulutely awesome, I hope it has the power/rideability to match! 

wheres the best place to get a set of carb to head rubbers for a 2001 fzs 1000? mine are perishing 

Post natal care in France.

I played a Pole Position game at my last session, and a friend played what I can only call Cooter Pac-Man.

Are they really all there?

Well, after a week of anticipation and exitement at the thought of getting a new FZ8, unfortunately it didn't happen. I had put a returnable deposit on the last blue FZ8-N to hold it until I had test ridden it. I covered motorways, twisties and town work but when I got off, and thought about the ride, I've got to say it was really quite an anti climax. Dont get me wrong, I wrang its neck in certain places where I could, and it was quite quick too, handled ok and was fairly comfortable but it just lacked something.
I didn't get that big silly grin that I normally get after a good blat. The difference between the FZ8 and my little FZS600 is, in my opinion not worth the extra money each month. And for those reasons I will not be parting with any cash.
However, I am booked up for a test ride on the FZ1-N next weekend and am looking forward to that, I hope I get the grin factor this time around.  :rolleyes
