The theme for January was "Self Portraits", although it turned into "Portraits of Self"

Is anyone going to the bike show this weekend?  I'm going with a couple of friends on Friday, riding up (weather permitting) from Kent if anyone is interested in joining us.

any wisdom on whether this is any good please?

the next price up seems to be around 20 posted, i guess that a genuine yamaha version is around the bag mark.

i have a mint 2003, foxeye 600cc, 4,500 miles fazer, and the standard black wheels, i was wondering if it would be worth the money and mither, to have these powder coated in metalic silver ,to match bike. does anybody know the rough cost of having front & rear wheel powder coated in metalic silver, or am i just best leaving them alone ??  not seen a late fazer with silver wheels, only the later ones,soi thought it might look great. many thanks for any replies. Roy

Hi all,
Been a while since I checked out FOC-U and it appears that I missed the dawn of the new site. Apologies for missing the migration from yuku.
Anyhoo, registered here on this swanky new forum about a week or so ago and thought that perhaps I should post in the intro section.


Still in the Glasgow area and I still have my FZ6 S2. Though she's been up on her stands since about October :'(  but it'll not be too long until I get to bring her out and onto the black stuff again.


Aims for this year are 1) get more miles on the clock, 2) win the FOC-U photie comp :eek  , 3) talk more rubbish and 4) get slagged off for No3.


Cheers all.

Spoke to my in  today turns out they have onely sold me 6 months ins not 12 months no happy .

I was happy at £260.00 full comp .

but it turns out that was just for 6 month on an transfer from the old pol .

so I asked how much is it for 12 month they said it would be £750.00 :eek

I have 3 years no claims when I had the cg125 on a provisional license.

but they said now that I have past my full bike test and have a full license that its like starting out like a new bike rider and them 3 years no claims are worth bugger all

they said I am  more at risk on a 600 bike with a full license than my 125 bike on a provisional license  :eek :foc

hi all does anyone know the firing order for a 98 fazer600 on the coils from left to right is it 1324? :rolleyes
