Yammy! - Brixmis - 29-04-15 Hulloo chasps, JD here, known around about as Brixmis (or Brix for lazy sods like me). I have a confession to make - I haven't got my Fazer Thou as yet - I'm testing one on Saturday and barring anything nasty wrong with it, I'll be riding it home.  I've had all sorts of stuff - did my test on a TZR125 - the only other Yam I've had, though I did have a DT as a courtesy bike once, and it spent 90% of it's time with me at the local dirt track  :lol . Well, when in Rome... I had a Tiger 900 until 2006 - best bike I've owned and I had it for 5 years, which is unheard of for me. However, I'm disabled and I got so bad that I had to sell it and thought my biking days were over. In 2012 I was put onto morphine and the pain went away and I turned back to two wheels. As the missus refused point blank to get on anything sporty, I got a big-bore scooter, followed by a GPZ500S, which I'd had in the past and knew she liked. I've had that nearly two years now, and last year I went to test a Triumph Trophy at Webbs of Eye/Peterbohorror. Turned out the swingarm was cracked, but I spotted a 2004 Fazer Thou there and asked to test ride that instead. Best ride I've ever had. Bar none! I honestly thought the Tiger was the comfiest, best all-round bike in existence, but I reckon the Fazer Thou has it beat hands down. What an amazing experience that test ride was - all 3 hours of it. My bum/back/knees felt like I'd just been down the shops on it. Even the missus is impressed! We've sold the car and I will be getting myself a Fazer Thou. If the one I'm testing on Saturday falls through, there are plenty of others around. See how you can do it, if you're really sneaky.... Scooter=GPZ=Fazer Thou and what car?  They just think they are cleverer than us!  :lol Sorry about the life story - I never know what to put in these introduction threads.  :o Re: Yammy! - slappy - 29-04-15 Hello and welcome, good to see setbacks in your health have not stopped you riding.

Here she is - just got home about 2 hours ago with her - after a very quick slice through the Saturday traffic the 50 miles from Mansfield: Isn't she just bootiful!  A mere £1750 secured her - a 2004 model, with 44k on the clock.
