Hi all,
My name's Jon and I'm yet another bloke entering his mid-life crisis at 40. My wife gave me a choice, I could either buy a Porsche, bang my secretary or get a bike.
Seeing how I don't have a secretary and a Porsche is, well, a VW Beetle for tossers :rolleyes it had to be the bike.
So last year I did my CBT and got a 125 Virago, pottered around on that until I realised I'd better get something easier to practice my Mod 1 stuff on, sold it, got a 1982 Suzuki GS125 and booked a 4 day direct access course.
I passed that a fortnight ago (Did Mod 1 & 2 on the same day) and weighed up the usual contenders; Hornet, Bandit, Fazer, SV etc, but I think I've made the right choice in a 52 plate FZS600 with 30k on the clock, FSH and one owner.
Got no pics as yet as I only picked it up today and went straight into work from the dealer, so in at the deep end with a 25 mile blast down the M6, and I love it! Much nicer ride than the Bandit I learned on.
Only one problem with it, the fuel gauge seems to read half a tank low. The dealer told me it was half full but the gauge read empty, so I stopped and filled it up, and yes it was half full already, so has anyone else come across this problem? If so is it an easy fix?

Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
too fucked up to care any more.
