An Old guy decides that he wants to drive his car off his drive in the morning so reverses off his drive without looking, thinking that at 12am there wouldn't be anyone else out and about, just my new friend was passing. Friend and bike slam into the side of the car, breaking mates left femur, jaw and left arm, he lands a few yards away from the car and the old guy comes running over to see my mate unmoving and shed loads of what looks like blood all over his chest & face and bones poking out from the top of his jacket. Old guy passes out thinking he's topped my mate. Mate ends up on orthopeadic ward, old guy in intensive care with suspected massive heart attack. So just be carefull where you put your takeaway, you may be responsible for putting someone else in hospital!!!

And a little essential chain maintenance:

And no, it's not too tight, ok!  :rolleyes

So that's stage one. Stage two will be clean up rear wheel and sprocket nuts and re-apply ACF, then polish paintwork (or what's left of it  :'( ). Stage four: replace with a younger model  :\

Now I'm off to the For Sale/Wanted section, cos one of the fairing inner panels fell apart  :lol

Be good to see the footag esetest, ive neve been to cheddar gorge, something id like to see but its a fair old trek for me plus the missus would wanna go and ha'd involve the car. How many miles of top roads would you say are in the vicinity then?


Nick - good effort, i knew you could do it, only just noticed that you of all people dont have a rear hugger, actually looks better without one but all the winter riding you do i thought it'd be essential.






Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - HarryHornby - 04-03-15

Got it back from the garage after having the rear calliper completely overhauled, OMG the old seals were grim, no wonder it didn't work!


Anyway, amazing how fast a 600 accelerates when the rear brake isn't permanently on!!!  :lol

did you park up and sit in the sun about half way up the gorge, about 1 30'ish ? Silver fazer ?
if so I went past you on my test ride of the Tracer, id of foccer saluted you but I noticed you at the last minute and the silly bitch in the skoda in front of me  was really pissing me off !! And, yes, it was a tad chilly out there today


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - esetest - 04-03-15

Some great roads around Cheddar and the surrounding area , but they can get a bit busy especially during spring and summer , best time is late evenings after the rush hour and everybody has got to the pubs , as you said its a long way to go for a ride , when you have some great roads on your own doorstep .  Once I have worked out how to reduce the file size I will try to upload footage .

loved the Tracer, very easy to ride, great brakes, nice riding position, im 99 % certain im going to be getting one, I have a deposit down on the last black/grey one at Fowlers but me being me I still have this little voice in my ear saying 'dont do it'

I was worried about getting back on my ickle Fazer but I really enjoyed the ride home, I guess a new, non square rear tyre helps with that enjoyment !!
So if it wasnt you I wonder if its anyone else off here ?
