In a word: FAAAAAAANTASTIC!

Cut my journey time from 1hr20, to 35 mins. And that was including going round the block twice in Glasgows confusing one way road network. Smile

Once I pluck up the courage/experience to filter, I'm sure this will be sub 30 mins.

And now to my (hopefully) trusty steed. After passing my test just over a week ago, I was itching to get on two wheels. I picked this up on saturday. Such a difference to the XJ6s i was learning on Very Happy

Its a 1998 600 fazer:

And yeh yeh, I know. The subframes twisted.... Wink

Thanks, there is a couple of paintwork scuffs at the back (thanks to some soft luggage I presume) and a slight chip near the indicator, but considering its 13 years old, its not bad at all. Smile
