what did you do with your fazer today ?

[garyb]

Got the engine connected back up after the removal for the new camchain, she started first time and is lovely and quiet now!

I am delighted with it and that I was able to do it myself, roll on the weekend and a nice ride out!

[Dead Eye]

Went to try and sort out the suspension - got one damper rod loose then the others wouldn't budge. Then the bike decided to fall off the centre stand and trolley jack and fall over ... seriously considering just giving up and getting rid of it. I'm just sick and fed up of simple jobs becoming impossible because of some stupid paradoxical issue; aka you need to undo this bolt - that bolt won't undo - well you need to undo it - well it won't come undone and so on and on and on...

Maybe you need time to go off and think and do other things for a bit. Come back to the bike when you feel fresher about it.

What Nick Crisp said.

Any fettling to do on your MG?

[Dead Eye]

No fettling - needs a gearbox change but I can't proceed with that if I don't have any transport

Bike is just being a pain in the ass and I'm fed up. Might just stick the old forks on it and see how it rides - probably not a good idea and I need to get it off of the floor first... not sure how the hell I'm going to manage that at current

Is your shoulder still focced then?

Any chance of getting lazy Foccers (read Exup  ) with too much time on their hands to be your muscles? What abourt Fuzzy?

[Dead Eye]

Shoulder is mostly healed - can't lift particularly heavy weights but its healed up relatively well, still some residual pain left

I refitted the 600 shock and spring as could not get any clearance to the expansion bottle with the 1000 shock.  I've ground the frame to get the eye to line up stripped both shocks to swap the springs and spent the last three nights in the garage and all I've achieved is lubricating the suspension pivots, it's now all back to standard. So either I'm to picky or I missed something.  Answers on a postcard please...

Blue bike + movie making = Blue Movie Productions. :b

[Andy FZS]

Wezdavo, cheers for the link. Once I've done all the wife's jobs I'll have another look, I did take the bolts out of the expansion bottle but it seemed reluctant to move.  Maybe I just need to try harder, hmm that sounds familiar from somewhere. Lol

Had a brilliant rideout to Brackley with some Foccers. Nice getting to meet some new Foccers, and get to know others better!

I also now know I must never challenge Doddsie to a drinking game that involves beer.  :eek :eek :lol :lol :lol

Good chat about music, hope you enjoy Will Killeen. PM with email address on it's way in a sec.

Thrashed her to and from Cleethorps playing tag with some power rangers one of which was a ZZ1400 doing 150 to keep up. Fantastic day.

Had the front sprocket cover off  to check the front sprocket , then spent 2 hours cleaning out the old lube , went through a whole can of degreaser .
Later in the day , took the Fazer for a blast down to Cheddar up through the Gorge and then back home . Nearly got squashed between 2 cagers when the car in front decided to do a u turn in front of me and the BMW behind nearly ran into the back of me when i slammed on  the brakes  to miss the car in  front  .
