IT'S SIGNAL RED!!!!!!! Not bloody orange :-X

Does look a little bright in the photo I'll agree, but there's no point in making a special, then hiding your light under a bushel :-)

Got all my non biking nieghbours over for a toast last night. None of them got it at all, they just couldn't see it :-( Then Chris, the only other biker in the close came over with a special tumbler he bought me for the Talisker malt I picked up in Scotland, and we did things properly :-)

UYmmmmmmm hate to tell you this, but whilst you were toasting yourself and the bike, some low life turned up and pinched the engine...

Looks good to me and makes the pile in the shed here look sad sad sad.

Aye Pat,

The makings of a bonny motorcycle, complete with 'luggies'! Rear sets as well?

Slainte, with a drop of Ardbeg on this foul wet night.

Great stuff Pat, though whether you've done enough to avoid the "Ride of Shame" is debatable. Secretly, I think you really want to do it anyway :-)

Pat, the rear suspension looks a bit hard to my untutored eye. Seriously, good effort. Mart

May should see me start moulding the body panels, so she can start to put some meat on her bones. Poor old girl has lived under a blanket since that photo, think I'll get her out tonight and pretend to ride her :-)
