Rode roads like this today, 6 of use in total had some fun with a new guy in our group he was on a Honda 600 Hornet, them wee bastards can shift, his skills are greater than mine but we had a buzz. Heading towards the Jalon valley. The weather this week is to turn nasty so glad we got out and about today.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 08-09-13
371 miles: from Carterton, Oxfordshire, to Chesterfield, loop (with nakedadder & andybesy - cheers fellas! :thumbup ) including Snake Pass, Cat & Fiddle (done it at last!), round by various very enjoyable roads to Matlock Bath, and home again. And discovered both up and back that A361 between Banbury & Daventry is a cracking little twisty road - pity the sun was in my eyes both god-damned directions!

No chance of that Nick
the growl from that 1050 triple is addictive, get yourself a test ride on one, you know you want to :lol
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - bristol banger - 08-09-13
Stripped and cleaned the exup valve, only one sheared bolt. Drilled and cleaned up thread then copious amounts of copper slip all working a treat

How long did it take Nick
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 08-09-13
Replaced my front Blue Spots with a set of 2003 R1 Gold Spots.
Will post a picture when I get to take it out of the garage, started raining as I was finishing up and did not get a chance to take it for a spin. They look good on the Fazer
The pistons are black and look like a teflon coating just like the Fazer 400 Brembos. They are supposed to be the best of the bunch before they changed to radial ones

Carterton to Chesterfield took from about 7:20 am to 10:30am. But, had to stop once to remove pinlock which actually made things worse in early morning cold. Also, 2 leisurely coffee breaks - got to services just before meet point nr. Chesterfield at 10:00 am. Did the loop by 5:00 pm ish (?) - not really sure. Again, we didn't go fast and stopped a few times including longish break for food at Congleton (?) and another longish break (for more food :lol ) at Matlock Bath.
Snowdonia next? Approx 200 miles each way plus play time whilst there. Will need a very early start, might have to wait for longer days again next summer.
No sore ass, I swear to God it's cos of merino wool boxer shorts!

Lew, please tell me, how much does this housework lark pay? :lol
I would suggest hiding spare keys all over the place. For a small wage, I'll come out and ensure there's always a set she doesn't find...
