Going to get it dynoed before end of the month to keep it in tip top condition.
Then its remove footrest hangars for powder coating.

In the spirit of the slow bicycle race can there be a separate competition for lowest mileage ?


Never thought I'd be a low mileage user but the last couple of years have really limited my riding so I offer my 7000 miles 53 plate :?

My 2001 1000 has now done 26000, I bought it this June with 19000 on it. Has proved ultra reliable, always on the button although it unfortunately has to live outside. Did I read that correctly Snap, 92000????? My mate has a Fazer 1000 thats done just under 100,000; and most of that was done at work (bike training school)

:) I have a mate with a 100K Fazer too - it's a 'family bike' used for all sorts including commuting to London from Newbury.

daren't think how much I've spent on oil and tyres :pinch: she lives outside with a cover on between OH's Kwak and the 'family' Pegaso - am convinced that she translates conversations between the Japanese and the Italian :lol:

Matt bought his a few years back with 15k on it, and racked up around 10k before he sold it a couple of months back....something he says he now regrets doing :doh:

Mine, same year 2002, bought it with 8060 miles on it last year, and now I think its gone over the 10.5k, although for 12 months I'd been pregnant etc, so I don't think its done too bad to get a couple of thou miles out of it this year. Saying that though, its been converted to miles from kilometres, so not sure if its counters are acurate. :?


Either way, a baby really, and I intend to keep it that way too!

I wonder if that's anything like my wife's sister, who in her younger days was known as the village bike? :revrev: :evil:
