Haha, yes, they are a proper cracker-oner's bike. As owned by canny lads who work down the clutch fitting depot, have many pirate sized gold earrings and are just in it for t'craic.

Biking Stereotypes. Could be it's own thread. I'm of the opinion that all FZR1000's were owned by self employed painter/decorators.

I had an FZR1000 and I'm all Channel Four talking and shitting good degrees and full of myself like one of Tolkein's High Elves!

Can you fit me in next week for living room paint and feature wall papering?

I can't do anything until December at the earliest and it's £300 a day for labour.

Yeah, has to be a '97 - mine was and it was genuinely mentalist. I knew a guy who made F1 exhausts and he made me a full system with titanium cans and that bike was a rocketship. I was quite offended when they pulled me in for a recall and fitted a fuck ugly steering damper. That got binned very quickly...

I ended up taking the steering damper off cos we were doing some engine work and it was a total PITA to have t keep removing it to lift the tank. It was even better without that!!

Soooooo many people told me it was dangerous not to have it fitted

Know what you mean about the French and bikes. I've never been to the Bol d'Or, but I know you can't expect to get any sleep for just that reason...

I went to Le Mans 24h in 2003 with some friends - I'd go again, but at least now I know I won't be able to sleep
