Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 10-06-17
Fitted new headlight and fairing infil panels to my boxeye , both rattling like mad due to loose/ worn bulb holders and broken lugs.....nice and quiet now :thumbup
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - fazerscotty - 10-06-17
MOT'd - passed as usual.
Found out that over the last 12 months I'd only done 4000 miles - gutted as the year before I'd covered nearly 10K. Not as much as some peeps I know.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 13-06-17
Re-newed the mighty thou's insurance and ordered a set of michelins , an expensive day so as a reward I went for a 50 mile blast around the oxfordshire countryside

I really do like the look of a belly pan on the Frazer, these pics give me a good idea of how mine would look with one. Seen them on eBay but scared to take the plunge in case it's rubbish quality.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Grahamm - 16-06-17
Took it for its MOT.
Passed with the usual advisory for the headset bearings being notchy :thumbup
One of these years I'll have to get together the money to get them replaced... :/
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dudeofrude - 16-06-17
Took her for a good belting. Front end still getting very light at high speed though so really need to get my suspension set up properly. I don't suppose anyone knows of a good place to get that done in the North Lincolnshire or South Yorkshire area?
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - steve 10562cc - 16-06-17
Started to digging the footings out for the wife's new conservatory which is what it cost me to get the FZ1. The foocing ends I will go too, to get another bike. Long soak in a Radox bath is called for.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 18-06-17
Mmmmmmmmmm . almost too good to use
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nellyt5 - 18-06-17

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 19-06-17
Washed off 18 day's worth of baked-on bugs and shite. I think some of the bugs are now permanent features of the paintwork :\
Got too hot and sweaty, polishing will have to wait until tomorrow.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - tommyardin - 19-06-17
Went down to Southsea and had a swim in the sea, was lovely and warm after the initial get the testicles wet.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 19-06-17
Did the bike run ok in the sea, Tommy? :lol

At least they've fixed the Eastney sewage pumping station and extended the outfall now.
The old joke was that you didn't swim in the Solent at Portsmouth, you just went through the motions...

Hiya Hedge,
First time i have ridden the bike for about 6 or 7 weeks, although I was away for a couple of weeks.
Been having trouble with my wrists (No rude comments thank you tommyardon and all that)
I was self employed brickie most of my working life, 70 now, and I now suffer with what has been classed as 'Impact and Rotation Damage' basically the joints in my wrists have worn out, Using breakers, swinging pic-akes, bricklaying and general hard manual work, the medics want to do bone fusion that will stop the pain issue but will limit me in other areas (Back to the tommyardon now :guitar ) but have decided against fusion at least for the foreseeable future.
Anyway it's been great to be out on the Fazer for the last few days.
The Old Girl has not been started in at least 5 weeks, so full of confidence summer jacket on (Not a white Feminine one like some very slim Fazer owners wear I hasten to add) Bucket on my head, boots and gloves on and I head out to the shed, no choke, no touching of the throttle,quick poke of the button and she burst into life couple of quick blips on the twist-grip and she settled to rhythmical purr.
It has been great to be back on the Fazer I have probably done 200 odd miles in the last 3 days, down to the beach (That's your initial question answered Hedge)
and generally squirting around. Took her up to high speeds a few times in fact I did 65 mph twice both at the same time :lol

Yeah! I heard they had a few problems there a few years back, but a lot of work has been done to the system and now the beaches have a good report, the sea yesterday was mill pool calm and absolutely crystal clear was great to swim in, once you got over the initial chill of getting your balls chilled. Sunday was manic down there hardly a spot on the beach, so I went down yesterday and was great plenty of room.

Hi Robbie,
Yeah! that's the best part of the Southsea beach, it's unusual not to find a spot on that beach unless it is a really really busy day, as I said in an earlier reply it was jammed packed full on Sunday, but yesterday being back to a normal working day it was fine. no sun tan lines on me. :eek :lol

not been to that part of the beach for a couple of years, since an nurse friend of mine was living down here in fact , but as weathers good again may just put a towel in my top box so if I feel like it after work can just drop down there!
