Matching yellow toys

The FZR is a classic worth keeping.

First decent ride out of the year today. Bewdley, Crossgates, A483 to Newtown Church Stoke, Craven Arms and home. 132 miles.

But being a (temporary) bum, means I can go out during the week.

I've not been out since the end of November when I got caught out in blizzards and slush.

Viffer has been tucked up in the garage ever since, and I have been too busy at work for the last few weeks to get out on it.

I have a local VFR meet at the end of this month to go to, so might be my first outing this year - nothing like a bunch of experienced spectators to settle the first wobble of the year nerves

Being a semi permanent bum means that I have this option most weeks - at least those days when I'm not expected in the stealership

This came out of the crate on Monday:



There are a few modifications being made. When finished photos will be up

That's pretty stunning as it is. What are you having added? Akrapovic pipes maybe?

Had lots of bikes best one my pal gave me I used it for about 1,000 miles and then had a very bad injury on a jet ski in Florida so I decided to hang my boots up and ended up putting the bike in my study



Was most probably a good idea as the bike is pretty unique and when we went out it would only have been a matter of time before I dropped it down the road as I was always struggling to keep up!




Now I just look at it and my son uses it as a toy for him and his pals!
