Had enough of my dodgy battery, it proper let me down and we had to bump it the other day to make a ferry. Fitted a Motobatt, starts like a 4 now

Bugger VTR failed its MOT today - Worn front wheel bearings and small nail in rear tyre. So as Tony say's "upgrade opportunity" to get the wheels powder-coated while it's all apart again in the two-week's to get it all done before the retest.

They are just parts bikes banished to the naughty corner. Will strip them once new garage is up.

Is that a fuzzy-elbow olde-farty velour/crushed velvet seat cover?

Are them damn haemorrhoids acting up again?

And where them carbon engine covers? All I see is a strip of duct tape?

And is it just the light, or is that newer firestorm a deeper red? Is it still R157?

Questions, questions?

Alcantara Dave not crushed vevet...

Self re-padded with a bit of memory foam, its not the best looking job but is a hell of a lot more comfy than the std seat.

Don't suffer with farmers.

Duct tape is just to hold them on whilst the silicone cures.

Answers, answers ?
