Done the deal today to chop the XJ6 in for an FZ1. Nearly new with a few handy mods.

Will be sad to see the XJ6 go, but as I have no car now, wanted a bike that was a tiny bit more fun.

Had a ball-ache with the insurance, when I renewed the XJ6 I put the panniers and hugger as mods: the result of which means the underwriter wouldn't cover the FZ1. Had to cancel and go elsewhere, money down the drain. The best bit was both the old and new companies told me panniers, huggers, poncy indicators and stuff don't need to be declared. Damn it try to play by their rules and they still stiff you.....

,,,,, can't wait for the FZ1, 150bhp, EXUP,

very excitificated now!!!!

Friday after work all being well - this will be a long week. Doing nought now, and very bored as my budget for the month is now a bit different.

Already looking at some goodies. It does have a givi topbox rack (i have a givi topbox), a baglux tank cover (I have a baglux tankbag in the loft) and heated grips.

Will buy a pannier rack so I can fit my Kappa K33Ns.

Can't wait to max it on the Autobahn (or maybe up the M32!).

We get plenty of wet summers, the big problem is prior to april we had 18months of massively dry weather and, well, we got used to it.

Since summer really started this week (the solstice) we might yet have a good one. Last year we were still enjoying dry sunday rides to places like Weymouth in late october- all this wet weather is payback...........
