Took the freshly Pilot Road 4 shod Fazer 1000 for a good spin to bed in the tyres.
Definitely superior to the PR3s in term of feel and grip.  On the way home I found I could push the front harder than on the PR3s, less tyre movement also which I prefer, more like the Metezler Sportec M5. :thumbup Whereas the PR3 had excellent grip wet and dry I never really liked the movement, but these PR4s are excellent. Now to see how they wear.

Now it is cooling down a bit here in sunny Spain. Just out and about enjoying myself. Now the tourist season is as good as over had some great roads to play on.
One of the pics is of a resevoir not far from were we live. The water level is really well down apparently it was only 19% full two weeks ago but is back upto 30% already as we have had a lot of rain this past two weeks and when it rains here at this time of year. We have just had the hottest and longest summer here since 1999. Funny when I looked at the photo of my bike it looks as if it is black which its not. Best £4k I ever spent, bought it of a forum member.

Went to get MOT for Fazer. Passed :thumbup
Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

got her MOT'd, only 2 advisorys,both of which i was aware of and both due to it falling off the main stand when it sunk in the hot tarmac at the back of my gaff back in the summer-shortened clutch lever (snapped the end off ) and cracked front mudgaurd (hairline crack,ive been keeping a eye on it and hope to find a 2nd hand one over the winter) so happy days.
they mentioned my chain could do with adjusting,so they did that for me,bless them noticed that ive put more miles on her in my year with her (2,996 at the time of the mot ) than the previous owner had put on in the last 3 years.

R1 Vs choppers: Choppers: slow, often only HAVE a rear brake R1: Isn't the rear brake just for decoration (and setting up for corners)? Red98, 0; delusion: 1,000,000 :lol :lol :lol

Fitted some R&G heated grips and took a run out to Squires at Sherburn. Never switched them on as weather was so mild.
About 40 bikes at Squires, not bad for a Friday afternoon in October, like me probably taking advantage of the mild weather.

Battery charged in anticipation of weekend weather! Mild today in Midlands.

Drained carbs, applied ACF50, charged battery. Tank already brimmed and fuel stabiliser added. Goodbye to the Fazer for 6 months.
18-10-14, 05:53 PM
Put it away for the winter blues.........spent a couple of hours ACF50ing it, optimate on...........cya in the springtime.......now where did I put me book....
Rexr.
