  1. As my bike is my only transport, i ride all year round but if the snow/ice is too bad, i'm not afraid to admit defeat and cadge a lift to work.

    This will be the first winter on the ace, so i'll find out how manageable she'll be soon. Smoothness and reading the road is essential at this time of year.

    You do have to be a special kind of crazy lol

  2. i really rated the metzler metz3 sport touring,on my foxeye, think they were dual compound so were harder in the middle and didn't square off when touring or commuting, but sticky for the corners. really inspired confidence

  3. thanks Ryan09, sheffiron69...it all started with the zup, they're a good bike too, funnily I always fancied the RU model (looked like the yzf750 and the fzr600r that i had) and ended up with the ace :)

  4. thanks Sacha, she's a little bit cosmetically challanged, the photo doesn't show previous owners scuffs on middle panel and the small cracks in the plastics, but she goes well :)

  5. Yeah, she is a cracker, had some gr8 times on her this summer touring England and Wales, though the riding position wasn't too good for me. Thought i would be ok with the fazer cos i had a fzr600r before and it had about the same power (similar engine, didn't find it lacking) but, the ace has corrupted me lol It's so much easier to make ''good progress'' :)

  6. Well, after 2 weeks with the Fazer600, i had to get my Thunderace back, so basically it cost me £150 to find out I am addicted to power lol. I'm now looking at Harris raised clipons, to take the strain off the old neck and back. I know.... I should have done that first! Live and learn ay?
