Hey , Dek yer it was a tough time. I ended up seeing a councillor for a few months but my daughter and I got through it. Yer 22 yrs as a couple and bang gone in a 3 weeks.
I had major spinal surgery at the Heath Hospital so titanium cages in my first 5 vertabrae and 8 wks off work and some physio.
First time back on the bike was May last year so 9 months away from the R1 , first ride I was very nervous and any speed over 90mph was too painful.
But I did do the Nurburgring the Autumn before in case the surgery left my with a stroke or paralysis but I was lucky and make a 95% recovery.
Just a small problem with my left arm when I straighten it. :rolleyes Not sure if it was the surgery or the car accident i was in ( passenger a few months back)
So yer this year a Gen 2 Fz1 fazer and I can't wait to fit the full Akrapovic you sent and ride to France with my fiancee who has her own baby blade {but too worried to ride her own bike across the pond} she has a CBR500R now and passed her test and got her 1st bike the first summer we met 2009 ( myex physio at the hospital). :evil
So looking forward to getting across the water of The Gen 2 Fz1 and having fun again mate.
Just out of curiosity what model Renthal's were they as I'm about to buy a pair in gold too ?? thanks again Dek for the full system it will be here in a few hours I'm sure and I have bought all stainless new header bolts nuts n washers and plan to srip all the corroded pipes off and repaint the silver engine

If it's got more than 2 wheels it's a car!
