on my way to work last night ( on my fazer thou ), ( blue, the fastest colour ) I stopped in a petrol station near me, it was 9pm.
They wouldn't let me have petrol until I paid them up front.
They showed me a laminated notice allegedly by the the met police which said bikes must pay for fuel after 9pm.
I told them to go f*ck themselves and that it was a discriminatory practice.
What like it's only bikes that steal fuel and only after 9pm. WTF. Poxy BP corporate dictator muthaf*ckers.
Anyone else had this shit.

Even though I have devileyam R6 shock fitted I am getting a wobble from the handle bars while accelerating at high speed.

Is there a relatively simple way to reduce or better, cure this without going down the steering damper route..?

I'm always interested to read about people's bike ownership history and the journey they have been on to arrive at their current bike or collection of bikes, so in the interest of discovering the sort of bikes us Fazer owners have previously owned I have started this thread.


A simple list from start to present is good, and if you want to expand with explanation/photos at any point, even better! Ok, I'll begin. Prepare for a rather unusual and somewhat repetative v twin onslaught ...


2004 - present


Honda NSR125 (92)
Kawasaki GPZ500 (02)
Honda Firestorm (98)
Yamaha R1 (99)

Haay! Had my Fazer a year or so, very pleased with it, just put her into hibernation, she's gonna wake up with a new electric scottoiler as  a xmas pressie. Hopefully it can stop all that crap building up around the front sprocket :eek  We like to get out most Sundays during the season last year we were starting at 10am from Deal garage, next year we may start earlier. sometimes we go to Rye and surrounding areas and quite often swing by Ramsgate marina for a coffee at the emporium. here's a pic from the summer, lil ride out to Herne Bay. Come join us if you want





Cheers

Hi all
Just want to take the opportunity to thank everyone for all the advice i have over the years.
As the title suggests last friday whilst riding through Solihull a private hire taxi driver decided to cross from the other side of dual carriageway into the right side of my bike, at the time i was at 30mph and did not have any time to brake this sent the bike over and into a lampost throwing me over the handle bars and into the wall of Argos.


Resulting in a 4 day stay in hospital a fractured right knee, fractured right foot and a very badly bruised left elbow, all things considered i have got of very lightly because if the lampost was not there the bike and myself would have gone straight into the wall head first..............
Hopefully the taxi driver will be prosecuted by the police.
However i know i have several months of healing in front but i am now not sure if i will ever be mentally able to get back to riding as i keep getting flash backs to the accident.


Has anyone been through a similar experience with flash backs and if so how did you deal with them?


Cheers all


Stu
