    It's been great, but time for a change.

    Well, after a lot of soul searching I've decided to sell the trusty Fz. :( I've decided I need a fairing, some hard luggage and a slightly more 'relaxed' ride to get me some longer distances so I've bought a 900 Diversion (quit sniggering at the back!). I'd just like to say a big thank you to...
