Seriously though....if you are running the bike in then it might be best to do most, if not all of it, by yourself. My bike was about 50% run in and i went for a ride with Nick_1871 and SDMF. The hooligans sped off into the distance and the RPM restriction went out of the window, so i could catch them up.

N.B. its safe to ride with Nick if you are on twisty roads

Dont worry, we wont dissappear and leave you stranded. We can hash together a marker system so that we all know where we are going.

Seeing as you are not familiar with your new bike, i'd say your the new favourite in the offski stakes!

We'll have none of that talk round here lad!

My mate got knocked off his Fazer on monday.. He got a flat tyre, spent ages waiting for recovery.. Went and got a new tyre fitted then 2 mins later was off. Car cut him up, grabbed front brake and then ground/sky/ground. He is ok, got 2 broken fingers and just cuts and bruises. Looks like the end of the Fazer apparantley. And... it was his birthday...

He has only been riding one month! Seems like everybody is coming off
