enough yet?

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 24-06-15

I recognise Skiddaw and Blencathra. Not sure about the pass...looks like...Kirkstone? Where was the campsite?

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dickturpin - 24-06-15

Campsite at Braithwaite...used it a few times now for short breaks. £12 a night with decent showers etc.
The pass leads down to Buttermere from the Honister Slate Mine.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 24-06-15

Ah yeah, I know it. Had some good walks in the fells around Honister and Buttermere; a walk over Haystacks comes down past the slate mine to the café. I was camped by Buttermere that time and walked down that road to get back to the campsite  Smile

Good trip generally?

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dickturpin - 24-06-15

Wonderful
I was only going for a day-trip due to the forecast but at the last minute the forecast changed and I stayed dry!
Don't need to be away long to have had a break Smile

Someone wanted to come to work with me this morning.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - risticuss - 25-06-15

Fitted some front LED fogs and extra brake light to the back as I'm fed up with people pulling out on my, or nearly rear ending me as I slow to pull onto my driveway.


Only problem is, the fronts have 3 modes (full beam, half brightness and flashing) so you have to cycle through them before riding off. I'd set it to full beam when I left the house and it had managed to end up on flashing by the time I got to work. :o
I think some re-soldering might be needed  Big Grin

such awesome roads in northern ireland ,and sound folk too ,my baby is starting to look like a bike again Smile

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - esetest - 25-06-15

Went to Weymouth for fish and chips , tried a different route on the way via Castle Cary , Sherbourne , Dorchester , came out on the A452 , a mix of quaint villages and lovely countryside spoilt by too much traffic and too many 30mph limits which went on for too long out of the villages , came back via the A37 , stopped at CerneABbas , Fazer was great, handling so much better with the r6 shock mod , planted , doesn't skip round corners anymore , and accelerates so much better thanks to full Monty .

That's the Honister Pass johnakay. Takes you out to Buttermere past the Honister slate mines.

A lovely evening ride in perfect conditions. Repeated most of the route I did earlier today, but traffic was too heavy then. Had the roads mostly to myself this evening. Did my favourite parts of the Charlbury TT:

And a beautiful, smooth, winding section of the A44. Not going frantic, just keeping it smooth and flowing, very enjoyable.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - stevierst - 25-06-15

I did the most boring economy run on the thou, trying my hardest to squeeze every em pee gee out of it.
Stuck below 55-60 on the motorway, used only 1-3-6 gears, and didn't rev over 4k.

80 miles, and it only managed 55mpg :'(

Am I expecting too much?

i did something like this in the cage and i know that its heaver and all that, but although 55mph is good on the flat when i came to any -- even slight incline up i had to gas more and sooner as there was not enough momentum behind me at 55mph.
maybe try it again but at a faster pace and be gentle on the throttle

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - stevierst - 26-06-15

I live on the Blackpool coast, it's flat as a fart! Tongue

And try using 2,4 and 5th gear too, so you're not having to over open the throttle on those slight inclines fazer mentions
