what did you do with your fazer today ?

[red98]

That was for full system nick, cant remember make but it was one of the top ones...I was offered test rides on both the 7 and 9 but didnt have time today......the 7 is bike of the year so that will be interesting, a twin cylinder 700c but the sales guy who ive known for a few years said I would'nt notice riding it.....sitting on both the 9 was a bit uncomfortable for me, very narrow seat, the 7 was better, cant see either being good for touring....looking forward to a test ride....

Music to my ears Red and everything i hear about the 7 is the same about how awesome it is.


But lets face it....the 09 has more street cred and looks a little bit better although neither are pretty bikes really.


Now that ive disounted selling a kidney on Apage's advice due to the fact i drink too foccing much well i reckon that through all the hard work that i have done over the years and all the hard work i continue to do and by all accounts the zero actual holidays i've had over the last 15 years...going to scotland to visit the parents doesnt count as a holiday really and skiing in Bavaria also doesnt count coz that was subsidised by the army........& the fact that my clothes all come from TK max or sports world.......


Well anyway you get the point......i reckon that maybe its not too much to ask that little young me could dispose of say £100 a month for 3 years to own a nice pukka bling new bike eh..........lets say i forget about life insurance for another 3 years and also that ill have a micro nog in january.......i know folk on the dole that have kids & they spen £100 a month on smokes & drugs & sky TV so why the fuck shouldnt i enjoy something....




I digress again :lol ........but £100 a month basically means that by next summer i could chop in the FZ & get an MT07 easily peasily.........or if i somehow save up say 2k too then i could have a mighty MT09.......& 3 years later ill be sat here having paid off my trusty Skoda, my shiny new MT......plus have a 3 year Pride and joy.....& a kid to look after

Not going to read back through your posts noggy, iam 52 and just dont have the time  :lol....have you test ridden any of them yet ?.....from what the salesman was saying today the 7 is the better buy and at £5400  ( I think  :o ) sounds like a bargain.....  cant see the point in paying out the extra for the nine, if gossips correct the 7 does it all.....bit like my old boxeye but not as fast....

[noggythenog]

The bungs don't seem to be long enough for that. My feet just slip off of them. I know I could ride it now, and probably be ok, but it's improving daily, so I'll give it another couple of days at least, just to be sure. Just a bit awkward with the gear change still.

Should I say that again? The bungs don't seem......... :lol

[unfazed]

Use Velcro  :rollin

[nick crisp]

You mean like this?
