if we leave Thurrock services at 11 with a stop approx half way for fags or tea (at Burnham?) should be in SoS at 2ish.
Sounds good, as I need to pick up a swingarm for the Christofighter. :-)

Christofighter 8) ...i love it!, we can be like the Blues brothers....obviously ill be the fat one!
Christo on a serious note....is the plan to go with the mega plans for an uber fighter or do you just want a basic fazer on the road???
What im thinking is if you just want a running fazer & you get a project or all the components then maybe jus maybe amongst all us foccers there could be all the bits you need just lying around in sheds and garages that you could be donated.
For example i might be prepared to donate you a standard end can & 2 front calipers (calipers that used to be yours).......but if this makes sense, not bein funny but i wouldnt donate stuff if you then went out & bought like a fancy r1 swing arm or whatever for silly money.
Anyway just a thought, all the parts are probably out there just sitting around gathering dust.shame really coz you already had most of them but hey you didnt know America would go tits up did ypu.

Long story for another thread, Noggy, but in short: I've been banned from insuring another bike by my parents until after uni - 2 years from now! Anyway, insurance is silly money since I claimed, and since I'm on 33hp till June. About £800 p/a for a :faz !
So I plan to do up a great Fazer, to my ideal spec and keep a sneaky eye on the insurance quotes...

Will try and meet at blackheath or thurrock, depends what time I get up. I'm located half between the two, so either works.
However my daughter has been I'll, puking everywhere, hopefully on mend, but if she's really bad tomorrow, will have to stay home and help wife.

Re: Focced up Febuary - 1 year of LoFos - Exupnut - 09-02-14
Home aswell 35 min from sarfend.. Followin grandma and red ceri filterin traffic @ courier speeds. :-)) NICE. Grandma was sublime on that fz8 and i noticed she didn't eat today. I think she Survives on 4 stroke lol.
What a fantastic day. Red ceri planned a great route with some fantastic twisties and no rain. Perfect.
Top marks to deadeye for drivin down from Bristol FFS. Awesome. And hats off to christo for bein a good sport about the pisstaking. That was the best lofo I've been on. Missed kosmic kartman and nick crisp but they would only have been out ridden lol so no drama there.
Red98 even managed to meet captain Birdseye at the ace and bring him along but we didn't get any fish fingers hehe and he got some expert tuition on how to ride his bike and the proper colour for his next pair of bike boots.....

What a great day and good to put names to faces.thanks to red ciri for a great route and hats off to those who put in the big miles.

Re: Focced up Febuary - 1 year of LoFos - Kosmic Kartman - 09-02-14
Glad you all had a good day and the rain Gods stayed away despite my best efforts, ripping the Southend page out the atlas and submerging it in a bucket of water
:lol
I really missed this one. Wish I was there but shit needs to be done at home so sometimes you can't go out to play. As a heads up... I don't think I'll be able to make many LoFo rides this year. But I will be there in spirit and as Christo's and Exups Guardian Angel.
Play safe and ride safe.
