what did you do with your fazer today ?

[Fazerider]

I took the bike down to Portsmouth today. On the way back up the A3, just before the Hindhead Tunnel, the bike started making unusual "tonk,tonk,tonk" noises. Fortunately a services area was just a mile further on and as I slowed down the noises got louder and then I lost drive.
Instead of the catastrophic damage I'd imagined (stripped gears, dropped valve etc.) it turned out I'd found the false neutral in the gearbox again... and the worrying noise was only the centrestand bouncing off the road surface because the return spring had failed.
Ten minutes to cadge a bit of string from Waitrose and secure the centrestand to the exhaust bracket and I was on my way.
