What's the point

I pretty much agree will Al I had a Fazer thou and it was a great bike but the MT must be very similar.

All good points made

Rob I should get on and do the big Kat up, I could spend lots of money on it to whatever spec I fancied, it owes me nothing, if it was done up right it would be like a new bike and even if I put fancy wheels on and really went to town on it it would still be much cheaper than a new bike. The trouble is working with bikes every day I need motivation to do my own, it would take a good while to do and I need to really be in the mood, I think I'd do some then it would get left again, maybe leave it until i'm done working on bikes, then it can be my garage hobby.


Nick get yourself a VFR and come out racing with us Firestorm parts fit them well


Al and Duffy, Engine wise the MT10 feels closer the the Storm, just with masses more, the FZ and MT do have similar riding positions. What the FZ1 can do is keep your back my drier in the rain than the MT, that thing gets me soaked from behind when I'm not even wet on the front That's a big downside, I could have the rack and top box on all the time but it's an SP, ohlins all over it, top box for longer trips only..

The Storm is a waste in my ownership really, poor thing, there's just no real value in them, I'd sell for the right price but not going to offload it cheap. unfortunately that right price for me is £2500.. less than 10k miles, sorted forks, WP shock, all the bits done to make it a good working and looking bike, but someone would rather pay £1300 for a sh1tter and think they have a bargain

The point is (for me)
I enjoy having them
I enjoy working on them
I enjoy writing them

I don’t spend money on smokes
I don’t spend money on prostitutes gambling or drugs other than A pint or two off the shelf and brewing a 5 gallon batch every couple of weeks

Each of the bikes mean something to me I don’t really own any just because

2001 VTR The all the time rider

1976 RD 400 my second ever street bike

1983 Rz 350 my third ever street bike

owned this one since 2003 it’s been a duel sport, off-road only adventure bike, and now super Moto.

2007 YZ450F my youngest son’s last dirtbike before he went out on his own saving it for my grandson ( though grandson’s dad doesn’t know I have this one back and I’ve been restoring it going to give it to my son as a present very soon )

2006 SV650 where is my son’s last street bike before he crashed it hard right after moving out in his own.
It was taken by a wrecker as he went to the hospital.

what he didn’t know is I bought it through a third-party from the wrecker service and paid all the fees and have been hiding it and building on it ever since.

He’s been talking about riding again once he makes the decision to get back on the bike I’ll invite him to go for a ride only it won’t be the loaner bike I’m gonna tell him I’m barring he’s been talking about riding again once he makes the decision to get back on the bike I’ll invite him to go for a ride only it won’t be his mom’s bike like he’s thinking it will be

I don’t know if that would be the point for anybody else but that’s the point for me
