I love seeing these pics and knowing they're not Photoshops anymore. Very pleased with how this has come out :)
Very nice colour, it has a certain depth that catches the eye :clap:

Nice cans, are those the Delkevic 450 mm?
Nope Delkevic 350mm they sound lovely too. And not so much popping back with them in!
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Ordered new rear tyre, booked it in for a fitting, sorted out my chain (was really slack, took so long to notice because I'm lazy and have mostly been doing rides with pillions lately, it was my first ride without that I noticed), ordered new brake pads all round as they're all starting to get low and ordered a new chain/sprocket set to fit next month as they're near the end of their life now (no more adjustment anymore, after I sorted it out, and it's still a little on the slack side)..

Also went out as I had the day off work and the weather was brilliant, done a good 150 miles :thumbup:

Bloody expensive day :lol:

managed to pop out for a short ride on mine this morning, I was very lucky not to get caught speeding.... :eek2
there's a well known road where it's very easy to exceed the speed limit, and as I entered the road, a police car was waiting to turn into it from another direction, so I just kept to the speed limit as I've got ever so slightly loud cans, and ferk me the gods were smiling on me, as half way down the road, out pop two road traffic coppers with a speed gun.
if it wasn't for the other copper at the top of the road, I could have been in all sorts of bother.... 8O

It was always going to be loud- they had two guns and you had no silencer....

Got at a bargain price clutch hose but it's a depressing Van Gough yellow that made me want to chop bits of my anatomy off

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Careful, Wicky. If the engine heat reaches it it will shrink and restrict the fluid flow.
