A picture a day....biker banter (Vol 3)

[Tim85]

600mile first service done. Ready for a clean and then tuck away un till spring. Can't wait to get some proper dry runs on it. Think I've managed about 100miles in the dry since I got it.
Ready for a quick shifter,tail tidy and some crash protection over winter.











I'll miss this sound un till spring.

Very nice, get an Ivan's kit on the carbs, it makes a massive difference to the low down shove.

I really rated my old Fazer thou.

Cheers Jazoli, I've been reading about the carb kits which look good. Was it you that wrote the post about the different screens on one of the Fazer forums? I'd like a bit more winter protection but can't find a screen that anyone rates?

Nice bike, unusual colour scheme that matches perfectly with the Multi purpose compost in the background!

I doubt it was me, I don't ride in winter or rain so weather protection doesn't really matter to me.

600 Fazer up for sale - 1000 Fazer bought

It's in need of some serious de-blinging but with only 12K on the clock she's sweet as a nut.

Looks nice Andy - wheelie practice bike?

Me 2 years ago looking happy.

I'm afraid for me, all those blue bits are hideous. Completely hideous. Also don't like: stupid long exhaust; hugger (are they actually painted from factory? I presume not - it's horrible); black screen (vaguely better than purple, but nearly as bad); the belly pan; fork twiddler thingies.

Apart from that, well done. It's not personal BTW so don't take offence.

Nice, aside from the bling, that looks in good condition. I've been thinking about one of them as a tourer/2 up bike. Fantastic value. Why did you go for one of them? Doesn't your Multi do the same things just even better?

Cheers Pete and if I could I bloody would!

None taken as I'm not a fan of most of it either! But the bikes is mint in the colour I want so I can live with it for the time being.

This one replaces the office 600 commuter and it lives at work. It's only used for nipping in and around London so I don't want anything too nice. I never take the Multi into London, even when I can blag private parking, it's just too risky. Do you remember big Alex the Italian from the Belgium trip? Two weeks ago someone nicked his GS from the site by Lambeth bridge and that was chained up inside the site right outside his office!

But if you fancy a really nice Fazer a mate has a black 2003/4 one for sale with 2k on the clock. He's had it from new so it really is minty mint!

I never realised just how boring posting videos of your trackday online can be, after uploading this I couldn't be bothered with more.

Been looking on the bay of E's at bikes as usual, but at potential first bikes next year
I love this shape of R6, especially in that colour scheme!



I really badly want to ride a bike. I haven't ridden in a good few months
