quick self intro

[Stedman8]

Hello, just a few short lines for an introduction - my name is Steve I'm in my 50's physically, still in me teens mentally. I have

a Fazer fzs 600 (2001) nice metallic blue colour ( will try and post photo if its easy)I also have an xv 125 virago which I used

as a runaround practising for me test. Me and the bikes live in Chester - I like messing with things that I buy to make them a

bit different - nothing too extreme, the odd polished cover here and there, colour coordinated grips,so prepare yourselves

for some questions along the lines of "Help I took this off to polish it and I cant get it back on again" that sort of thing

I'm not a mechanic by any means but I can do the odd thing - and frequently do! Anyway look forward to future chats oh

and Merry Christmas and God bless us one and all cheers, Steve

Welcome Steve. Near top of screen, where you have "Home-Forum -Help-" etc. put your mouse pointer over "Help" and on the drop down menu click on "Basic". In that section it tells you all about posting photo's.
I see you have already put some photo's in the gallery so you have already done most of the work. A very nice looking bike it is to, same colour as mine.  :thumbup

Eh? a vicar ? oh the god bless us all- its a quote from from Dickens " A christmas carol " Tiny Tim says it ,I think

[Stedman8]

OK I think this might work -pics of bike- This is what it looked like when I bought it ,I have since put on a custom seat cover, dark indicator lenses and an led dark lens rear light , stainless down pipes and changed the brake pipes for braided ones, some other things in the pipeline ( no pun intended ) will post pics of what it looks like when I have it how I like it ( never  ending job -theres always something I didn't know about that I cant possibly do without  ) cheers Steve

I know slimwilly, it only had 7500 on the clock when I got it (about July last year)- doesn't look quite so clean now what with farmers replacing the road surface with soil and other things which I'd rather not think about, the bloody weather and all the other things that the bike has to drive through but never mind ,most fun things involve getting dirty

[Looney tune]
