Dare you to put these matching decals on it ….

Errrr No!
I have had a few changes of mind of what else i'm doing....
Just come back from the TT's (Great time i'll add, will try and post a few pics etc up shortly) Very much enjoyed the whole experience, did plenty of riding through the week also going out on mad Sunday... however... picked up a fair share of chips flying over the mountain pass, have an slight oil leak, front wheel bearing started grinding like hell soon as I got there, broke my seat cowl because I didn't lift my leg high enough

I suddenly realised I don't want a mint bike.. at least not too mint.. bike looks nice as is although I will still nib and polish plus add a few decals & tank pad but I wont be spraying on the decals as planned.. I'm not disheartened in any way with the marks and bits that went wrong but I think that if I took the bike further taking all the trouble to flat and polish to look like glass as i planned, spray on decals etc etc I'll just end up in a state where I won't want to use or ride the bike in quite the same way, I don't want to be in a position where i'm pee'd off because of a chip or scuff. I want to take this bike everywhere, I already use it daily and i don't do winter breaks so sun, rain or snow she keeps rolling all year around so i'm basically going to leave bike as it.. and enjoy it to the max! Will keep it clean and serviced ofc.. and over time will buy a few extra goodies for it.. want to fit a brace to rear swing arm, maybe rear sets, maybe swap out front end another time.. thinking about getting a orange iridium screen and im sure there will be a few extra things ill think off but as far as paint work goes she can pretty much stay as is.
Plus i have a few stickers which don't go with the bike at all but i'm gonna stick them on there anyway
