New member from Middlesbrough. - dickgam - 29-12-11
Hi, I have just joined this site despite buying an Fzs 1000 new in 05. I have added Yamaha hugger, crash bungs and belly pan, I have also added a radiator cover, race can and front braided hoses and i will get round to fitting the different tie bars for the rear suspension that i have had for some time to sharpen the steering. I also own a CCM 404 DS. Roll on the warmer weather.

Hi Dick and welcome. Not much riding up there this time of year I take it?
Re: New member from Middlesbrough. - dickgam - 30-12-11
You can always get out somewhere, i took the Fazer off the road in October, it is not worth riding once the salt hits the road, the finish on my engine is appalling, worst i have seen in a long time. :eek
I have taken the enduro tyres off my traily and put more road biased tyres on so that gives me a bit more scope for getting out and about.

I thought you said you'd taken your Fazer off-road :eek :lol
If newcastle and gateshead are geordies, and sunderland and durham are mackems, then what are middlesbrough and stockton?

We have the title of "smoggies" because of the heavy industry and chemical works that we used to have here. :faz is off the road, :'( CCM is T&T so fit for purpose, road or off road. If I'm up here, where is down there?

The "monkey Hangers" are the good people of Hartlepool after a little mishap in the Napoleonic wars involving a monkey and a piece of rope.
