Parsley1000 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hello everyone I'm Parsley,(yep that is my name)!!named after the lion for those of you old enough to remember! Well up untill recently i've been married to suzuki but this FZR came my way for a small amount of money so I thought i'd give it a go,fixed it up a bit ,rode it a bit & loved it loads!!!! so gonna keep it, i'm now sueing suzuki for divorce! I'm not entirely new to Yamaha,my real wife Donna has a Radian,she doesnt like it being called a Radian ,she thinks it sounds like washing powder! so we call it the fairy bike because its been airbrushed with fairys on it!i'll put some pics on the gallery of our bikes,my oldest lad has a FZR600 in standard guise,mine however has been chopped & changed a bit,its got race twin headlight fairing,R6 subframe & seat,R6 brakes,motor has a wisecoe high compresion piston kit,shes not too arse up n head down so long runs are not a problem,i'm in my mid 40's & have a beer belly so needs to be comfy!! Infact weve just been 170 round trip ride out to see a viaduct just outside Peterborough on A47,74 arches well worth the run & the sun was out too!! thats it for now I will just say I am a motorcycle mechanic & will try n help anyone if they need help,but its always hard if you cant see or hear what the problem is!
