10 years ago i think i mustve still had my bright red GSX600F, the "babboons arse".
just before i swapped it for the sprintST to go abroad on. wish i'd kept the babboons arse to be honest.
i'll see if i can dig out some pics, one of the hazards of having a couple of computers and a mountain of backup CDRs is you can never find anything, and ive never been big on photos anyway!

i was working as a waiter in a cocktail bar(pmsl) also teaching scuba diving in fuerteventura so this was a day off ride bike in morning fun dive in afternoon hardest dau was riding the circumference of the isle in 11hours with only crossing roads the whole day apart from a couple of bits that is only doable on tarmac due to sea and cliffs lol from playing in the sea at cofete in 50'c to trying to ride the last bit with no lights along the side of the airport and thru the motorcross track hilarious
j :woohoo:
p.s. bike has been in bits for awhile due to usual top end refresh and new 640 waterpump and sorting out electrics soon be able to play with again once tiggers finished :blush:

Adventure motorcycling is a challenge for those who go but only a dream for those who stay behind.

10 years ago I was riding absolutely nothing. Gave us my Honda Dream/SuperDream 250 engine in 87 and only started riding again 4 years ago on the venerable CX 500 Custom now 31 years old (the bike not me unfortunately). :S

This F650 replaced a '98 Fazer 600, and was itself replaced by another Fazer 600.

Bike's change, jackets don't! The jacket is still hanging in the wardrobe :whistle:
