Very nice Mark - a lot better than the scabby one next to it :lol:

Put some decent brakes on it and get something done about that seat cover while you've at it.

That front wheel does look a little close to the ex headers, check the clearance on full compression. Are you sure it wasn't front-ended?

Will you now be know as "stone in pocket"?

Rich, you think I'm daft...... :roll:
Why do you reckon I only fitted one disc up front, them forks ain't ever gonna fully compress :lol:
As for the seat, I got a 2:4 as second choice, but its tattier than the one fitted now :cry:
Perhaps if I sulk about it enough, someone will give me a good one, like Padders did with the Kerker :wink:

Hey Piggy, I really like the Red 'un.
It has a Spartan (not greek!) look about it. Bare and moody, I like it :lol:
Now can I have the Hob Nobs as promised for saying that in open forum? :wink:

Don't tell me you've filled them all the way up with oil just to make sure :shock:

Get some wrapping foam from you local upholsterer, take the cover off put the foam over the old stuff (smoothes it out) and warm the old cover up and re-stretch it over.

You have a hands / pocket interface problem :lol:

OK Rich, may give that seat thing a go sometime mate :ek

The frame is mint, no 'crumple marks' around the headstock, and it came from a very reknowned, reputed and authenticate source :wink:

Probably not - you've just given him the perfect alibi to a claim that his plate was cloned thus allowing him to speed with impunity.

I always tried to be careful, but to be honest, anyone can see it when the bikes out and about, anyhow :shock:
Or when the bikes parked in me drive, so I really don't see what the problem is :?:
The law has made it so we all appear on CCTV at least a dozen times a day, and we must have HUGE legal no. plates for all to see at 500 yrds :!:
Thanx for advertising the fact tho' Pasc :roll:
I have modified the photo in Photobucket, but for some reason I hasn't changed on here :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: Whys that then :??

It has changed - the pic you're seeing is one that's already been cached in your browser. Press F5 and it'll refresh the image.

Dark Skies, I changed it yesterday, have done F5, on & off site, refreshed many times, and it still shows reg no on my screen????????
As it should be fed from Photobucket, surely it can't be coz the original file is in my PC :?:

Very odd. The browser will be looking at your Phootobucket pic. Rest assured it has changed. You could just rename the pic on Photobucket and alter the link in your post to suit.

The number plate has been removed from the pics on my screen following an F5 refresh, but I've already got the plate on my bike and Mikeys! When the three of us get caught speeding on the way up to Yorkshire, Piglet will be getting three tickets each time! :lol: :lol: :lol:
