WOW! did he survive?
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Anquetil - 05-04-19
Yes, he did. He hung there limply for two hours, pretending to be dead, before the Germans took him prisoner. The dummy is not hanging on the side of the church that he landed on. It used to be on the correct side but it caused traffic problems due to people viewing it, so they moved it.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - robbo - 05-04-19
If I remember correctly, on each corner of that town square there's a wartime photo of the view that you're looking at from that corner. A "now and then" kind of thing.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - ogri48 - 05-04-19
cheers guys yeah was really good, we did Omaha today, all amazing stuff. Normandy is a little cold but bloody brilliant...
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Northern Biker - 06-04-19
Fitted some Fazer Thou mirrors to my 600, also a Fazer Thou alloy rear brake lever. Just had to space out the rear master cylinder a few mm to straighten out the bar to the lever a little.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Stinka - 06-04-19
Raped the absolute cnt off of it, chasing my insane mate on his srad 750 :rollin

The poor guys landing on the beach were sitting ducks to the German machine guns.
Did you get to visit the museum?
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Anquetil - 07-04-19
A ride to the Hednesford Motorcycle Club and MZ Owners Club gathering in Hednesford, Staffs. 128 mile round trip. Food and drink available, good turnout. Nice FZS 600 there.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dynspud - 07-04-19
Just got back from a 4-day trip to Normandy with OGRI48 (Paul).
A fab trip with great company and somewhere I would definitely recommend you visit.
Photos are Omaha Beach, which has a great museum and a nearby cafe with good coffee, and Le Mont St Michel, which is a town with a large cathedral all built on a rock out at sea - amazing!!

Spoken to thew parts supplier again today, inlet rubbers wont be here from Japan before 30th April, trackday booked at Donny for the 29th. So, set to re-fitting the old ones, one of which I suspect was not sealing properly, ,leading to hesitancy at low throttle. Thoroughly cleaned them, and straightened out as best I could the old clamp bands, all refitted now, and balanced up. Ill give it a blast out tomorrow. In hindsight, I think I may have overtightened the bands and distorted them last time I had them off, which may have allowed the rubbers to slip on the bodies neck inlet. If all is good, then its oil change, brake bleed, fairings on and then check to see if my leathers have shrunk over winter

So, after being told the parts wouldnt be here until the 30th, I set to and refitted the old ones, took it out for a blast and it seems fine now, so one of the rubbers must have been passing slightly, as I thought. Most annoying though, to receive a text message as I was starting the bike up saying that the parts will be delivered tomorrow (10th). The old ones can stay on now.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dynspud - 13-04-19
Fitted a replacement exhaust hanger from the good people at Beowulf, who sent it without asking questions - tremendous customer service.
The original had sheared through the hole where the bolt passes through.
Then, oil & filter change, followed by strip, clean, grease of the front brake pistons and new pads fitted.
Then, fitted the mirror extenders I bought off nickodemon (thanks again mate) and they are indeed a good improvement on standard setup, as he said.
Then took the mighty thou down to Thunder Road Cwmbran where I bought a pair of shorty distressed brown leather RST TT Crosby boots, a pair of RST Aramid Metro biking jeans and a beautiful cognac coloured Richa Hawker leather jacket.
On from there to Steel Horse Cafe just outside Abergavenny for a coffee and bacon sarnie.
A helluva great day!!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dynspud - 13-04-19
A couple of photos from today's visit to Steel Horse Cafe.
I'll post a third one of a newbie owner's blue FZS 1000 in a separate post.

bloody uni work stopping me going out to play!!!!!!!!
Nice one dave, looking forward to getting over there with you this weekend coming mate(twenty degrees huh!!

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Anquetil - 15-04-19
A ride to Bala on the FZS 600 to my friends house. Returned home on his FZ6. He's working all week and the MOT on his bike runs out on Friday, so I'm taking it for one tomorrow, then returning it to him. Very heavy holiday traffic. On arriving home I learned that a fellow biker had lost his life this morning on the A5 Padog bends near Betws y Coed following a crash involving a Volkswagen Sharan and a Honda motorcycle. Desperately sad news. My heart goes out to his family.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 15-04-19
Nothing today or yesterday weather is absolutely crap.
Pictures are from yesterday and today is worse
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dudeofrude - 15-04-19
Took a ride with my mate and his Bandit 1200 up to Sportbikeshop at Boston to oogle a new leather Jacket then went up the coast to Skegness for some Chips. Back home after 150miles and have to say I must be getting old as im knackered at 6pm and me knees are killing me haha
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - t140 - 16-04-19
Fitted a new set of plugs as the bike was missing sometimes at low revs after being laid up for the winter, phoned the dealer and was quoted £38 a set, phoned euro car parts, 200 yards from the dealer, and got them for £22.40 a set a decent saving.
