Found a pic of one of my man toys today...
When weather brightens up I'll wheel out the Mad Max and take a pic.
Is that pre-EXUP? I had a YZF 750 and always wanted an FZR 1000 EXUP but then marriage, kids and a sense or my own mortality intervened!

My new Man Toy was hijacked by the missus. A nice new Mitre Saw... made light work of firewood and got some nice 45 degree cuts in decking planks for making a large raised planter.

That's an FZR 600 innit? Didn't have an EXUP valve? Stand to be corrected though.

Yep - I'll go with that. The 600 only had single front disc iirc.
Ah well,the meths and turps made me a bit queasy
.Actually,it dates from way back,when my then girlfriend,who worked as a Saturday girl in Boots,advised a particularly obnoxious customer that a small tot of the tincture,last thing at night, was one of the beauty industry "inner" secrets!Ever the imp was Anna.Ive often wondered what happened.I don't think the woman ever appeared again at her counter

Vanishing Cream?Ah well,the meths and turps made me a bit queasy
The same girl once described one of her customers(never forgotten this)as looking like "a dogs bum with a hat on"The mind boggles.Looking as I do,Ive been a bit wary of the Cosmetic counters ever since.

It's a 600, 3HE7 model, one of only 20 Kosinski edition bikes imported to the UK with paint job mimicking his race helmet, and signed by the man himself. Believed to be the only surviving intact example in the country, so I'd never sell it.

I used to have one of these and wouldn't mind another one.

Never tried a maxi scooter. They look smart.

Thanks for clearing that up.
I was trying to think who had that helmet design. Mamola? No. Lawson? No. Rainey? No. Then I gave up.
Kosinski was never one of my favourites but he was as quick as anyone when his head was in the right place.

A lot more comfortable than a motorbike due to riding position, plenty of storage under the seat , uses less fuel, can still do 100mph , no gears to change and better weather protection.
