Started on mates and brothers bikes in the early seventies but it was easier to pull birds with a car!
Came back to biking during a mid life crisis, age 40. Fazer 600 to start as it was the best middleweight there was (is?). But it had to be spanked to keep up with my mates and after a few years traded up to Fazer 1000 which has over 35k showing but still polishes up like a good'un. Although I've got money saved to chop her in, after hundreds of hours fancying this that and the other, I can't think of anything that would give me the same all round capability as mine.
I've heard that older boys than me are returning to the 600. Lighter, nippy and does what it says on the tin. Maybe that's me in a few more years, when arthritis kicks in!!
