Had come back to bikes in 2001(albeit on a Honda that was a)cheap & b) available from a friend. At the company I worked for a "young" guy passes his test & bought a new silver foxeye-I was smitten!
Forward to 2008: My beloved partner had died prematurely from cancer age 54 & I had just turned 60. I retired from work that summer and played around with a couple of smaller Yamahas then on impulse bought an FZ6 in Jan 2009. Only kept it 6 months then in succession had a RED FZS1000(ivanised) a blue FZS600 Foxeye(rough) then a RED Foxeye(pristine) & eventually the tricolour Boxeye(red/black/silver).
Between RED foxeye & last boxeye briefly owned an MT07 naked. Now campaign MT07Tracer(BLUE) & preparing a slightly customised Honda C90 Cub (25 yrs old also blue) ready for the day when I can no longer manage the Tracer. Took C90 to Manx GP in August ( not telling you my lap time for the TT course :lol )
