I looked at it through the window of my car with the heated seats on, and climate control,

Let's just say I'll never moan about having the swerve test in the Mod 1!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - lew600fazer - 06-12-13
Hopefully just bought a pristine 2009 FZ1 with 10k miles on it you will all know the one I mean. Just waiting on the seller contacting me.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - JoeRock - 06-12-13
Washed the old girl. For a 10 year old bike, with 30k on the clock, I must say she's doing pretty damn well!
Gonna miss how bloody practical she is as well when I come to selling her in a few weeks!

Would you sell the tank cover, being trying to get one like that for ages?
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - mr self destruct - 07-12-13
What did I do with my Fazer today? Well I guess it was only a matter of time. :thumbdown
For the first time in months I went out for a ride just for the hell of it, I was out for 5 minutes, lost the grip on the front end going round a mini roundabout and kissed a BMW. Luckily, hitting it kept me upright, but I took a chunk out of his back wheel and we swapped paint.
Pisser was breaking my big toe in the process, but at least my left leg protected the bike. :\

In my case the fairing and my fucking leg! :lol
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - noggythenog - 07-12-13
Uh oh mr SD!!!!
Remember to use that toe to hit as many surfaces as you possibly can over the next 6 weeks while it is trying to heal.
Especially remember to get the toe cought up in the duvet cover & if theres a baby gate in your house be sure to kick the bottom lip of it for the first time ever & then continue to do so every day or so. :lol

What was it, diesel, pitch line, white line, manhole cover? Glad you didn't get it worse. Time to get the missus to fetch and carry for you for a bit! :lol

That would be my under construction ZX9R! I'll get some photos up when I've actually got some work done on her, waiting for a load of parts to arrive any day now!

I will do when I come to sell the bike mate, I'll keep you in mind before putting it on eBay
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dead Eye - 07-12-13
Beginning to rethink my idea of going out tomorrow what with all this slippery-ness... I'd like to limit myself to one crash every decade, or more, if possible...

The trick is to be aware of it and ride accordingly. After all, you can crash in the dry too. But at the same time, there's nothing wrong with avoiding it if you're not comfortable with it. Tomorrow, I'll be out for a ride. I won't be out for a thrash.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dead Eye - 07-12-13
Yeah I know, I ride rather more sedately when I'm by myself most of the time - its more the general bad luck that people are having that I want to avoid haha

Thats what it will be , a calm gentlemans ride.Still fun though,,remember the danger areas are mainly JUNCTIONS,, :eek ,so approach carefully,move off carefully.
the rest of the roads are still good fun to ride,,

This week including today I've done sweet foc all, anything fazer related appart from typing this message. Might balance the carb this afternoon though. See how it goes
