    My FZX250

    Some of you may be wondering what the world's sexiest four-stroke 250cc motorcycle actually *looks* like.

    Wonder no more.

    (With thanks to Posh Tourer for his photography skills.)

    Being alone at the office on a sunny December 28th has *some* benefits...

    Giving myself an excuse. I'll probably get it a set of MT75s when Leading Edge open up again.

    And I'm looking forward to owning a bike one day that will spin the rear wheel up *without* having to dribble lubricant on it, or put it on a painted line...

    Then 'season' with good old HORSE POWER
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    That doesn't look ratty enough to have been owned by Blakamin.

    Very nice. Now stop being a knob and do some work.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    The accepted method for burnout photography is to get feet on pegs, get bike rolling slowly then peform multiple "dohnuts" around the camera operator.

    More practice required.

    Oh yeah, nice looking bike. :cool2:

    Absolutely. I am a complete n00b.

    I wasn't actually planning to do anything along burnouty lines, just getting a couple of photos of the bike, but you know how it is.

    I'll have a crack at some proper feet-up stuff the day the new tyres go on, so that I don't spend the time worrying about shagging the rear beyond rideability.

    Ahhhh Descretion and valour and all that shit.

    Good thinking, Batman.

    Innit funny how when we get bored and lonely, the only thing that really holds any value is abusing a bike. Good to see I'm not alone on this.
