I've just come out of my restricted period - got the certificate and all that carry on. No one ever asked about the restriction or asked to see the certificate - including the insurers .... most expensive bit of paper (that no one has ever asked for) that I've ever bought !

Hmmmmm ..... indeed !

miriku.......... hope the project goes well. Let the good times roll .......

Going to be saying goodbye to my trusty wee Fazer 600 which I've thoroughly enjoyed throughout the even more satisfying 2 year restricted cc period (yeah, right) which is now over . I commute daily and use my bike when out visiting patients as part of my job. I really like the look of the TDM 900 as both a daily sommuter and occasional tourer. Was just keen to hear any thoughts on the bike as I'm unfamiliar with it and whether you'd recommend any accessories to enhance the experience ?? As always, cheers in advance

Just watched them all - Dunkirk spirit at its best chaps

If I ever wear white socks and sandals my wife has permission to shoot me .............

What on earth would your last thoughts be ......

Welcome pal ..... Can't help on the finance question but as for the fazer (which I commute on daily) I'm 5'8 and find the bike just about right although possibly a little small for my tastes. At 6'6 I really would have reservations about you not becomeing pretty sore esp if you're putting in decent milege ....... just my humble opinion though. Hope all goes well on the finance front ... been there ... couldn't afford the T Shirt.....

Went on a long ride out with some friends not too long ago and my backside was aching afterwards. I haven't bought the item your asking about but spoke to others who have - basic answer was they do a good job but if your putting in serious mileage then you'll still have to stop and massage the ol' buttocks ....

Did they have bikes back then ???????

I agree . Living in quite a rural spot I travel long some country roads before hitting the motorway for work and during the summer the blinkin airbourne bugs are akin to a squadron of kamikazee pilots. I love keepin the visor up on the lid but I've now decided to keep it down when travelling over 30. I also came off at a low speed in January - headbutted the road + torn rotator cuff. Don't want to think about having no helmet would have produced .......

Ooops. Sorry - posted several times accidently. Wasn't that angry ....... honest

Riding home from work today behind some chump on a BMW who : 1. Didn't acknowledge a single driver for pulling in to let him past - and there were a few and 2. When I happened to end up sitting on his wing at the next set of traffic lights - I looked over to give a wee nod - ignorant git didn't even turn his head :madflame: What is up with some bikers ???? I know we can all have a bad day and would gladly kick everything in sight while on 2 wheels but I've passed so many bikers recently who are either legally blind and don't see me or must suspect I've killed their dog & slept with their wife - or is itt the other way round? Rant over ! Something funny .... read the reviews and buy at your peril. You have been warned ! http://www.amazon.co...ASIN=B000KKNQBK

But it gave us battered mars bars so Scotland still gets a thumbs up from me Welcome Sam - are there still druids kicking around those glens??

Good job RubySR ... did exactly the same thing. It still gives me pleasure as I pass the queues every morning and think ... "that was me" even through the wind & rain.

Yeah ... and mobiles too. Had some jobs worth get at me recently at Sainsburys for using my TNT(sorry, mobile phone) whilst filling up... can't remember the last time my mobile phone blew something up ....

Cheers lads ... reassuring advice indeed. Thanks for replying.

Welcome -and keep at it - the licence will come

Welcome

Welcome

Hi Lads & Ladesses.... I've noticed when turning on the ignition of my Fazer a series of clicking noises that lasts for a few seconds. It sounds like it's coming from around the switchgear somewhere. The bike always starts and is running well. Any ideas ? Or am I just hearing noises ??? Cheers in advance

When they make something that moves as fast as my wife does on my wallet then I'll be impressed ..........
