Just like to say hello - M4RTIN - 16-05-14 Hi all Never thought i would be joining a Fazer forum. But i had a bit of bad luck last Sunday and came off my bike. I had a Honda VFR1200F which i got new in 2012. when buying it, I was going to keep it for good. But on Sunday i was out and i got took out by a crosswind and the bike ended up in a ream totally under water.  The insurance have written it off, so i am now just waiting to sort it all out. I never of thought i would be so upset and gutted at the loss of a bike. i did look after this one, it was mint and had never seen rain in the 5000 miles i did on it. I've had a good talk with the wife and after looking at all the pro's and con's,  i would not be getting another vfr12. So we went out and i have replaced it with a Fazer 8 in black. I have now just got to wait for the insurance to sort out so i can put the Fazer on the policy. Wife has a XJ6F in black so she is happy i went with the Fazer 8.  On the down side i'm not over the moon at buying another bike because of how i lost my vfr12. But i'm sure i will grow to love it just as much.  So i am looking forward to getting to know you all on here. so get ready for lots and lots of question. Kind Regards Martin Re: Just like to say hello - slimwilly - 16-05-14 Oh dear,,welcome anyway Re: Just like to say hello - Willie - 16-05-14 Hello there,the VFR may be a hard act to follow but you will soon love your Fazer and enjoy your riding more than ever Re: Just like to say hello - Dave48 - 16-05-14 Welcome and hope you enjoy the Fazer 8. Any particular reason you opted for the 8 rather than the FZ1(thou)? Re: Just like to say hello - slimwilly - 17-05-14 I moved from a VFR750 ,the last model, it was a bit different but it was good,,i loved the Fz1s from day one, i think i am adaptable on bikes and have not really fell out with one. Thr fazer just gets you up in a seeing position,,different at first but nice when its grown on you. Re: Just like to say hello - M4RTIN - 26-05-14 Here are our bikes.  The wife XJ6F and my new Fazer8. Re: Just like to say hello - slimwilly - 27-05-14 Very smart, i had to look twice,thought it was 2 FZ!s
