Search Google images for ( in this case) animated laughing Gif, open the gif of your choice and right click on it and choose copy image location then in the message box used the image box  and insert the link. It should then come up in your reply.

But Michael, them's "CNC MADE STREAMLINED ALLOY INDICATORS" ! Might explain the extra £3k asking?

What do we think to the pinstriping on the tank and tail piece?.....I think I like it but I'm not quite sure...

In fairness it is a very nice very clean and 95% original low mileage bike but even then I'd reckon it's only going to be worth £2.5K tops.

I do like the CNC indicators but they're not worth £3.5K!!!

It looks a very nice bike to me, obviously a bit over priced. I like original / standard so I`d prefer the standard indicators as to 3k CNC ones  ;)  I`m liking the pin stripes!!!  :) The clips you`ve attached Steve play/move on my work computer but not on my home one...any ideas?  ???

Personally I don't like the pinstripes, and as for the three mucho grando indicators.....well what can one say. CNC..innit ;) ;)

Don't like the pinstripes, as the standard decals work best, on their own, and, as for the price, i dont think so  :-\
Its a £2500 bike. Tony reckons this bike was at a previous Thumper rally, and was for sale then, at a much cheaper price.
