Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dead Eye - 21-07-13

Went out for a decent ride finally and thoroughly enjoyed it Got lost once and had a memory lapse on my way home trying to figure out where I was haha

Found a small road by accident with some lovely scenery and it was so quiet - no noise from roads or motorways etc

Hey! Your bike is really beginning to look good! It's a far cry from the crock Exup and I came to look at 6 months ago!

Good work that man!  :thumbup

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - mickvp - 21-07-13

I took the bike a good run today, went to Luss/Arrochar/Crianlarich/Rowardennan:

Needless to say, by the time I got home the bike looked quite cruddy, so I gave it a good wash, and then went over the top of my HydrO2 Sealant with some Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze I had been meaning to try for a while. DEAR GOD this stuff gives a wet look. very good product, although the durability is meant to be poor (Meguiars do state this hence why its a "Show Car" Glaze, not meant for ultra durability):

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Exupnut - 21-07-13

Met mr steeeve66 just outside m25/a2 @ 9 and we went to margate and had some breccy by the sea.  Then we just bombed it to brighton. Wicked day :-))

Took a ride out to the Malvern Hills, about 140 miles covered in all. Some good views, in some places as far as what I took to be Brecon Beacons, but very few places to stop to take them in. Apart from a couple of fag breaks, hardly stopped at all. Crossing the Cotswolds on the way, a lot of wash-out (loose gravel washed from hills in recent rain), so some dodgy cornering, especially in tree shaded bits where it was hard to spot til last minute. But an enjoyable ride, done at a steady pace rather than balls-out! Did stop at British Camp for a coffee, but couldn't be arsed to climb hill to the fort! Took about 4 hours in all, which makes me think with an early start, Wales is now reachable for a day ride (occasionally).

topped up my scottoiler since I had let it totally run out  :o

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 24-07-13

Actually, I was thinking along the lines of a ride to Oasis café in Brecon, tea stop there, then a rideout somewhere from there Slim. Haven't really consulted the map to see where I'd go from the café though. Where in Wales do you like to head from Hereford then?

Refitted carbs


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - ChristoT - 24-07-13

Went on a great little spin with Fireblake. He chose an awesome road too! He's a right showboater, after a very tight left hander, he pulled a cheeky 1st gear wheelie (an impressive one to boot!) before flicking it into the next tight right hander. The rest of the time, he was miles ahead - curse my 33bhp restrictor!

Scared some non-Foccer owners, and introduced them to Foc-U. Hope to see them here soon!!

Tour de café as the new tyres have turned me into a hooligan  :lol

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dave48 - 25-07-13

nick crisp-you always know when you've crossed the border from(especially Herefordshire where they don't seem to have any money to spend on roads) into the Principality which to me represents "BIKING HEAVEN" :lol  Amazing that such a large mainly rural country can maintain its roads to (generally) such a high standard while England is rapidly coming to resemble certain Eastern European terrain! :eek

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 25-07-13

Yeah, I've noticed that. But apparently we have a never ending supply of gravel in England! Wanna buy some?

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - pilninggas - 25-07-13

Dropped the oil on mine (motorex semi 10w/40 @£18 for 4L).  Put the bagalux tank cover back on.  went to halfords and bought some new pads (£5/pair for ferodo).

Nearly ready for my annual run to Italy.
