It's crying out for usd forks, but Brembo's would probably be overkill.
Wider tyres at the rear.
Flames and high-rise chopper exhausts?
And a battery, control gear and motor out of a slightly used TT Zero bike, obvs
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

You deserve one mate.
But which one have you kept?

The one that didn't sell, or the one you couldn't bear to part with?

Of course it is. Like when my little bitch rolls in a two week dead salmon then snuggles up to me to show off her new perfume...

Mind you, fox shite is worse.

Just about to leave to arrange my Dads funeral. Odd thing. Passed over the weekend.

Stink. :(

He was a dispatch rider in Germany after the war, told tales of racing Jags on his Triumph and crashing into ditches. Guess where I get my hoon from...

Sorry to hear that mate, hope all goes as well as it can at a time like this.
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

finding out I'd lost my wallet sometime yesterday while out on the bike, set off yesterday morning and first thing it was abit cold so I put my fleece over my leathers and put my wallet and phone in the pockets. Following a sprited ride to Helmsley in Yorksire I find my wallet as gone, bugger. I thought my stuff save enough in there zipped up but the wind must have pulled the zip down and sucked out my wallet, fortunately my phones remained in the pocket. So today I've been cancelling cards and trying to sort out a replacement driving licence.
I've now gone all European and bought a KTM Superduke GT and Aprilia RSV1000R :D ,
Storm is now gone :cry: .
