[size=1em]Daughter and I went to Loomies (In Hants) today for their magic cheesy bacon chips and a mug of tea, funny how much more friendly bikers are when you have a 23 year old pretty little blonde on the back of your bike. LOL! [/size]
[size=1em]I know cos I'm the same He he![/size]
[size=1em]Met up with another Fazer owner down there, I was taking a pic of his bike for the Forum and he came up an introduced himself, Red FZS 600 Boxeye, nice condition his name was we think Mark H or maybe Mick H, said he gets in here now and again but not all the time, Friendly guy.[/size]
[size=1em]Left Loomies and headed North to Alton in Hants, across country through Worldham and into Bordon then on to Liphook and up to my mate 'Wildplums' house in Hindhead for a slurp and a yak with Terry and his her-in-doors, left there and had a rapid blast down the A3 Southbound, slowing down dramatically just before the Liphook slip road as Old Bill is often there with his camera van, then business as usual once passed the dreaded zone (He was not there) mind you the bugger got me doing 90 mph in my sports car there 7 weeks ago, like the Mrs said be grateful he was not a couple of miles further North as we were allegedly doing a little more than that, but it's all hearsay, my MR2 will not do 135 (Well not with the handbrake on)[/size]
[size=1em]Really pleased with the bike and the way it handles after all the suspension work that went on over winter. [/size]
[size=1em]I feel the Nitron R1 shock on the back works magic, it has taken all the Pogo rebound out of the bike, so no Pogo effect what-so-ever and the Ohlin's front Linear springs coupled with the cartridge emulators are so smooth and the bike inspires me to lay it over, the old Yamaha dual rate front springs were like 2 Yo Yos up front. The work has really changed the bike for the better. I was pleased with it riding solo and today was the first time i have had a pillion on board since the work was done and daughter remarked how much better it is than before. [/size]
[size=1em]It is the rebound that is so much better, the sting is really taken out of the bump, but it is like the back and front wheels somehow keeps contact with the road throughout the rebound both ends, also I have noticed that the front of the bike does not seem to fall/turn in if hitting bumps whilst laying over on a bend, whether that is the emulators or the Linears I'm not sure? but it sure works. [/size]
[size=1em]Anyway we did about 85 miles today and to be honest it would be easy to forget that my little girl was on the back she is so trusting and I was going to say nothing fazes her but were both got :faz ed today.[/size]
[size=1em]Mark or Mick/Mike H's Red Boxeye. [/size]
