Nice one Nick...i concur good photos...you sure get about.


I got foc all scenic photos, just the usual drivel........i did 230 miles today to get warmed up for tomorrow......did some right newb things but eventually got in the flow & carved some decent turns & i had a great time...although i got soaked on the way back...for a fair weather rider i seem to do an awful lot of riding on the rain/fog/sleet :rolleyes .....noggyfighter was a little slow to pick up low down to begin with....a good thrashing seems to have cured that well




Went Aberystwyth for a lech....very quiet.....but looky looky.....a mighty thou.....taught the guy the foccer salute & he was amused & did it to me as i rode off....he has used foc-u but never joined so i said he should....apparently he has a 600 under a dust sheet....check out his number plate too. 8)






Then it was off to Rhayader......& llandovery which was also quiet.....& the same foccin red fiesta is blocking the car park...complete with police will impound thus vehicle docs on the windscreen.

My IAM Group is having a Scatter Rally each month, this month's competition is to find pubs or cafe's etc in places starting with letters A to E, take a pic of your bike next to them and then making the longest route between them.

I got three a while back in Aldershot, Cove and Eversley, today I was doing the other two in Burley and Durnston near Ringwood (you don't have to do them in order, just get the longest "virtual route")

I got there from Portsmouth by going via the Morestead Road, Winchester and Salisbury because it was a nice day for a ride

Stop at the castle if you get time Bill - an hour or so if you don't linger too much. Fantastic views of the Wye Valley from the battlements. Nice tea rooms at Tintern- pleasant outside if the weather is kind, plenty of indoor seating if not. Enjoy!

Another good day out nick  .....and as usual some great piccies......good luck with the job....

Thanks Paul. Hopefully looking at the next phase of my motorcycle trade career. And if I get it, hope to be moving to Gloucester.
On the doorstep of Wales! Oooooooh shit!  :lol

Just a bimble today Noggy, taking in the scenery. Bike doesn't seem tip-top at the mo - I think the carbs could do with a balance - service soon anyway, going to be a big one pre-Euro tour 
I thought those last photos you got, on the misty day, were excellent - very atmospheric.

Yeah, that red car with the bodge tape go faster stripes has been there every time I have this year - think it's parked in exactly the same spot, not moved at all. Make em an offer  :lol

Good luck with the thou - take it easy, eh?

Bought a prezzie for the mighty thou....the "peep peep"from the standard horn is just not man enough....130db that should wake a few cagers up 




well just been out to the garage and hooked the new horns up to an old battery.......foc me there loud  :eek.....bought off ebay for 12.99 free postage...seller,twowheeljunky....ordered monday night delivered thursday monring 

[nick crisp]

Where'd you mount em Paul? Piccy? How easy to wire up? Very interested, couldn't agree more about the poxy useless OEM jobby.

[AllyBally]

very nice Red.
I agree about the standard horn, planning on taking the twin horns I put on the Divvy,sticking the original back on then fitting the twins to the Fazer. Am tempted to just buy a nice shiny new pair but haven't had a good look for some real loud ones, they all seem to be around 130db. My old ones are 155 and paid about 15-20 few years ago, they're nice and LOUD  :evil
Nick, they are easy to fit,just used bigger mounting bracket on the Divvy, and a small extension to connect the wiring from one horn to the second.

Took it to Victor motorcycle for Mot at 9.30am , walk to Mcdonalds while waiting and have bacon&egg macmuffin , walk back , failed Mot due to horn not working , says he's checked connections and can't see anything wrong , got home , had a quick look , fuse has blown , get a fuse and a couple of spares from Roys Autos . Phone Victor , line busy . Had a job to do at Clevedon Medical centre , get home , take a chance , ride back to Victor motorcycle , tell him it was blown fuse , he has to finish Mot on Honda Blackbird and then he will check mine , all ok , new Mot , so will be able to go out for a ride on Sunday ( happy days ) .

Feeling rather pleased with myself. Just changed all the brake pads front and rear. All went smoothly. Went so far as to take calipers off this time. Good clean. Copper slip and rubber grease in all the right places.

After fixing the centre stand spring last weekend and cleaning out the front sprocket area one before that I feel like I'm on a bit of a roll!

I wonder what I'll take apart next?

[Mark YPVS]

Loaded it onto the van and waved goodbye to it :'( :'( :'( but will see it everyday as I sold to my friend who I work with  :lol :lol :lol

Turned down my scottoiler a tad, cleaned it all, and then put a layer of hydrophobic sealant all over, sprayed it into all the crevices as well. beading and hseetign like a trooper now

[noggythenog]

Cleaned the noggyfighter......then cleaned the SEM-A.....lubed the chain on the sem-a.....with no paddock stand yet & only a side stand it was labourious.


Met Unfazed & his wife who were passing by, he got to see noggy towers & the fazers....always good to meet another foccer. 8)




Put the sem-a in the shed & the noggyfighter is relegated to outdoors....poor noggyfighter :'( [size=78%]...couldnt be so harsh so went to halfords & got her an oxford cover.[/size]

[mickvp]

just bought one of these:

Yay me! Took the mighty Thou into work and back when the roads were mildly moist and as a bonus no one in a car tried to ram me off the road.

Forgot to mention that there was an old-ish Gen 1 Thou at Asda in Adel, Leeds. Black 1.
