Doing great Roger thanks,

SX is still going well, coming up on 15K now, still sort of gainfully employed, (again  :undecided:)
The Z1000sx forum is going really well, and we are off for our third ride out this year in September, hitting sunny Wales this time, should be fun. Still fun to keep an eye on you lot on here, always make me smile !
Good to hear from you
regards to you and yours from me and mine

Stay safe

Roger Hi

Done the chunnel many times, answers as follows:

Book in advance I have always found it to be better value, book direct not via an agent, generally you can book a time band and choose upon arrival at least one time slot either side of your booking, this does depend upon how busy the chunnel is.

Cost again is dependant upon time and day of the week, and varies drastically.
With a bike you just ride on and they get you to park at a slight diagonal with the side stand down (Not main stand) they also encourage you to sit on the bike for safety. Total time 35mins.

Don't forget your breathalisers, Hi Viz jackets etc, (For France) strictly not law until November/December, but they will stop you and advise you of the new laws.

Don't forget any device that has speed camera locations on it is now illegal in france, including Sat Navs.

Have fun

Cheers

Welcome back.

Hi Roger

Yes would be good to meet up, pretty busy bike wise also the SX owners are on their third ride out this year on the 14th Sept, another good bunch of guys.
Funny you should mention the work  :rolleyes: I decided I had had enough again, so tendered my resignation, having a couple of weeks off, then starting a proper job, in July, full time and everything  :help:
Seemed like a good idea at the time, had my usual run down to Spain in May and am busy planning next year, also looking at the Blue Ridge Mountain parkway, well maybe not all of it! just the southern end all being well.
Trouble is it may have to be a 'Hardly Ablesome' still better than a cage.
Don't forget if you are ever down this way drop me a line, and I will do like wise,
Cheers

My mate has just p/xd his Fireblade for this and he LOVES it

A guy I know (Asif knows him too I think) Martin exchanged his GTR two years ago for one and loves to tour on it


Roger et All
Yeh I still have the SX, fully sorted now, riding position is good, standard seat is crap, (I have a sargent now which is great) mirrors need spacers, very agile and 100kgs lighter than the GTR, prtty much the same power output, done about 12K on now and still like it.
Oh and its the faster green model.

Hope all is well

Martin
