wouldn't that be a treat......dont worry ill be lurking around.....theres always the what did you do with whatever else you got thread......except i havent got anything else yet :'(
Anyway it has been a pure joy on here, first forum i ever joined & i've had so much help both with the old FZS & the FZ1....i've been a complete ditherer with both bikes & it has been fun getting a bit of stick about it......personalities really do come across in here & i've had much chuckling to myself so many times.
This year has been a really forced effort.....because i still wasnt totally happy with the thou, coupled with the introduction of a micro noggy in my life...having a child is a wonderful thing, far exceeds my expectations...but it isnt condusive with going out on my own for days at a time on a bike.......so i needed the small ammount of time in th saddle to be just right.....yeh i can go quick on the thou, corner well on it but im not always fulfilled by the whole experience...sad really......still biking....just not friendly enough....why not try something else eh.
Glad i got the lofo ride in....really wanted to make the effort to meet some other foccers although im usually not in the best frame of mind for too much chat when my helmet comes off because my head is so fried with concentrating & loving riding & dying to get going again.
All being well ill be meeting Devilsyam inc & friend next Sunday & the mighty thou will be sold.....at a fair price i reckon as the bike needs a little bit of small time TLC & some fettling to bring it up to scratch.......described well as a thorn in my side...yes it is.....owes me £3500.00 spent on it originally & a shafting by the previous owner who did me out of all the original parts & was a complete bullshitter...& probably another £1000.00 trying to get it right.....i probably would have spent another £1000.00 & still found it just not quite right for me......such is life, only money.....but i just dont want to spend any more.
Will look out over the winter for an old school bargain i reckon....something that more suits the back roads and twisties of SW Wales
Thought id get a sneaky welsh spin on the beast today, back to work tomorrow.....would be my last chance.....got it outta the shed.......started foccing raining....as i said to DY.....it is Wales.....it was also a sign :rolleyes
Last pic of her in the garden...taken today in the rain after a wash.

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
