what did you do with your fazer today ?

[Grahamm]

Lead a Ride-out for 10 members of the Solent Advanced Group from Wickham Square, up the A32, down Steep Hill, then along the A272 to Cowdray Farm Cafe at Midhurst.

Back down the A286, along the B2141 (only a little bit flooded!), then to Loomies along the A272

Good Ride

Did a run down to Salisbury today. Had been watching the rain all morning, blustery winds, thinking, yeah, but I need to RIDE!  :lol

So got going. Rain stopped, was still pretty windy though, and had to watch on some corners where the wind tried to snatch the wheels out from under me. But that A338 has some pretty good stretches where fun was had. Hit another flood with associated bow wave, stopped to take a pic for photo challenge on another forum (your bike with both wheels in 2+ inches of standing water) - how no one beat me to it I'll never know. 2 more similar floods were traffic light controlled, and took these at a more sensible pace.

Got to Salisbury where the guy controlling the parking at the cathedral tipped me off to a MAG organised do in the market place on 13th April (Sunday) - will be custom and show bikes, food stalls etc. Sounds like a good day out so might go. He also watched over the bike while I had a stroll around - good man  :thumbup

I was looking forward to getting out with you again,,,,buttttt, now i have second thoughts,

[nick crisp]

I thought about heading west, but forecast said that was where the rain would be, so I went south instead  8)

[RobG UK]

put new chain and sprockets on.  Boots next cos Avon on the front and Dunlop on the back (although they haven't let me down yet) just preys on my mind a bit

[NorthWestern]

Checked oil ready to go to work on, decided the rain was way too heavy to bother with seeing as google was saying the M6 was traffic free....


Stuck in the traffic in the car on M6 15 mins later.....  Contemplated turning round to go get the bike but Northbound was chock too.


Blue Sky all day.....

finaly got out for my first little bimble since late november last year,put the battery back on the bike in glorious sunshine,started her up and left her to warm up while i went to get kitted up,looked out the window at bloody hail stones and a sudden gale blowing 

let the rogue shower pass,and went out anyway,had a great 90 minute ride around my 'got no where to head' route plus a extra fast blat along the A303 to see what the fazer has got to offer (bearing in mind ive only pottered around a few times since getting her last october),she's no thunderace ( God i miss the torque of my old Ace) but she goes when the need is there.

got home,washed the muck off her and lubed the chain,noticed the exhaust id put on was a bit loose,so re-fitted that. text my friend that id been out on the bike,while she's stuck at work and her R6 is still tucked up in her garage,she was'nt best pleased!!  :lol

all in all,a great way to spend a few spare hours on a day off- roll on spring!  8)

[kitcrazy]

Day off today and the sun is out dont know where im going?but im going

[fazed]

Put on a set of Kappa panniers with motohaus frame carriers.  Seems like I broke all my fingers doing it!  Had to relocate rear indicators, re hang number plate replace grab rails fix brackets on to pasenger footrests and then mount the frames to carry the panniers.  Instructions with the goods were1 fuzzy exploded badly drawn diagram and a list of bolt types.  Took me hours but seems worth it....... roll on the hols...
