Hi All! - thunderpantz - 02-09-13
Hey guys, bit of a bike nOOb here. Well when i say a bit, i mean a massive nOOb! Basically passed my bike tests last week and have now got my heart set on a 2000(ish) Fazer 600. And where better to get info and help than online!
Off to have a look around

Welcome to the site pal, no problem being a newb,theres loads of us, we're like a fazer plague & slowly but surely we are wiping them out of existence :lol ,honestly stay safe as lots of us have crashed recently, take what youve learned so far & keep practising & learning more & have fun because the fazer is an awsome do it all bike & very forgiving.
If you fancy dabbling in a bit of maintenance theres lots & lots of threads on here detailing every job.start off with the easy stuff, doing a small service,oil,air & oil filters, build up your confidence & learn how to set up & adjust all of the controls.its your bike now,not the schools so get it as comfy as possible & youll flow more when riding.
Any questions, try the search function along the top,if you get no luck then stick up a post, youll get an answer soon enough.
Cheers

Hey,
Welcome to the forum and congrats on passing your test.
The fazer is a great first big bike, take your time to find a good one there are plenty out there to choose from. Any questions then ask away but mind and have a search first as a lot of common things have been asked already.
All the best in your search and don't be afraid to ask for a hand, there are foccers everywhere so one or two might literally be able to lend a hand! haha.

Welcome!
As a noob too, I can say there's a great deal of help here, good advice, and friendly at that.
I can also honestly say I think I made the best choice for a 1st big bike too.
Re: Hi All! - thunderpantz - 03-09-13
Cheers for the welcome guys. Put a deposit down on a fazer 600 today, should be picking it up Thursday.
Looks like I'll be sticking around
Re: Hi All! - Punkstig - 03-09-13
I don't want to be negative about anything but if the bike you've bought doesn't have crash bungs or engine bars buy a set immediately.
As a new rider you will, and I mean you really will drop it at some point, best have the protection on there before it costs you!
Re: Hi All! - Chris - 03-09-13
Get some pics up when you get the bike 8)
Punkstig's comment does sound a bit harsh but we've all dropped it at some point and as he said, worth having that bit of protection...

Don't worry about sounding harsh mate, i can totally see your point. And yes, there will most definitely be pics

Hi thunderpantz, I just replied to your post on DW there, hadn't seen you signed up here already lol.
Welcome aboard matey
Re: Hi All! - thunderpantz - 07-09-13
Hey Mick, yeah i'd already signed up. Got my mitts on my fazer too now. The buying has already begun
Re: Hi All! - mickvp - 08-09-13
Good stuff mate, you will need to get some pics uploaded and show the bad boy off.
You have also forgotten the most thing about your :faz, what colour is it? (This dictates how fast it is...obviously :lol)
Re: Hi All! - thunderpantz - 08-09-13
At the moment he's gold but must of had a new headlight fairing at somepoint as its a different shade. Should be 'transforming' this week. Pics to follow at the end of the week
