I'm sat chilling with a whiskey after finishing my night shift and driving home at 1deg looking at pics of a dry warm new Mexico.  I must have been really bad in a previous life.....:-\

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - griff86 - 20-11-13

Picked it up off the floor after it blew over in the wind. Fairing is smashed, typical :rolleyes

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dead Eye - 20-11-13

Went to go for a ride yesterday, battery was flat as anticipated (I have an LED drawing constant power -- something I aim to fix by using a separate battery pack) so tried to bump start it... and then pulled a muscle in my back... no riding for a day or two Sad

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dave48 - 20-11-13

not today, not even yesterday, BUT MONDAY I  stripped ,cleaned ,checked & rebuilt rear caliper, fitted rear braided brake line, bled system. Stripped rear wheel, swingarm, & rear suspension pivot bearings, Bought tin of "Gunk"-cleaned off 10 yrs worth of chain fling from front of swingarm. Put everything back together. Yesterday she fired up first press of the button-OH JOY! How I love my Fazer!!  Next on list is get engine up to operating temp, then recheck coolant level. Change oil & filter and reposition,adjust Scotoiler feed. Finally clean chain & then RECHECK EVERY FASTENER IS CORRECTLY TORQUED UP! Then & only then apply protective coating of ACF 50/GT85/Silicone spray and connect to Optimate say "Happy Hibernation" & put dust cover on.  But if we get a nice day or two........Wakey Wakey Time! My back aches & my finger nails wouldn't pass inspection but Im a happy old foccer! :lol

Finally got out on the bike today after about 3 weeks of it not being used ^^

On my way home decided to stop and pick a few groceries, completely forgetting that I am now riding a 1000 and not the 600... the problem with this you ask? The complete lack of any under-seat storage Sad I could get half a cucumber under the seat and that was it... thankfully I hadn't bought much and managed to stuff the bag in side my jacket for the ride home which included a large bag of carrots, celery, spring onions etc - needless to say the cold vegetables stole and core heat I had left Sad

What the heck are you doing buying cucumbers in november for !!!!!!!

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Jdalt - 21-11-13

Got my fazer out today for the first time in 4 weeks, a bit slow to start but eventually got going.
Typically no sooner had I got it out then it started raining. Still I decided that as it was out then I was riding.
Went for a 40 mile round trip into North Wales avoiding the odd fallen branch and patch of mud courtesy of the farmers.


Even though it was a bit wet and blustery I still enjoyed it. Just glad it is optional nowadays and I don`t have to commute.

Ok this is true, it was easier than the full explanation of "I'm a fat bastard and trying to loose weight so eating salady things as a snack instead of everything else that is apparently fully of calories" - its a stop gap measure until I start keto again after Christmas Tongue

I am not hijacking anything! Tongue

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Exupnut - 21-11-13

Apart from the sun lol

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 21-11-13

Finally got the time to balance the back wheel of the Gen 1 after fitting the tyre last sunday and wheel bearing and seal tuesday.
All ready to go the long way to work in the morning. Smile
Used the hooligan bike for work all the week (Serow) :lol

I'm in the same boat. So like me, you're not a fat bastard trying to lose weight, you're a biker trying to gain free horsepower.  Wink

What's keto deadeye????.....is it Ketogenic diet???......seen that mentioned regards my wifes Epilepsy as a way of stabilising it but have you heard any other benefits?...extra bhp is a benefit right enough...might look it up again but got a feeling it's hard work to implement.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dead Eye - 22-11-13

Yup, ketogenic diet - lost 5 stone last year on it across 6 months but need to get a bit more off Wink

There are plenty of health benefits, several I can testify to - I felt more energetic and less tired / lethargic plus its easier to think and concentrate for extended periods. The downside is that you have to go through "keto flu" first (about a week) whilst your body adapts and you generally feel the opposite :\

Lots of information here; http://www.reddit.com/r/keto and much more on the web.

Anyways, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me so that I don't resurrect my Pirate career with another hijacking Wink :hijack

Took her up to Greenwich Park and cleaned and polished her before doing a two hour ride around SE London until my fingers started to get numb in what were described as 'thermal waterproof  gloves.' No doubt when they get wet they'll turn out to not be waterproof, either.
