There's a couple on my regular commute, wouldn't mind having one to take the risk off my license for a bit.
Leccy boot variant?
It's definitely possible!
Hitchcocks list all sorts of performace kit upgrades, if you're prepared to dig deep (it's all relative) then apparently a 150% power increase is within reach of the home fettler! Probably something to think about once the warranty has expired though...

Yes, this one is electric start, I don't know if they all are though. It does have a kickstart, but no ammeter which makes it harder to kick start (or so I've been told)
The new 2017 models all have ABS now, to being them inline with Euro compliance which seems plain wrong on so many levels.
To be fair Murv owning one ''seems plain wrong on so many levels.''... :wink:

Just a thought do they come with a pair of safety flip flops for that authentic Punjabi look ?

The good news Murv is your wardrobe will now fit right in with the era of your bike! I knew you were a style icon the first time I met you, those plus fours and smoking jacket will look a treat!

Unbelievable. Absolutely no sense of style here at all.

I'll just leave this here, watch and yearn fella's, watch and yearn.




Anyway, can't waste any more time with these luddites, I have a 'tache to grow, and brogues and brown nylon strides to stock up on. 8)

Thanks guys :thumbup:


Kev, very impressed you made it past the 1 minute mark to be honest!

Well, the day of reckoning is looming. Tomorrow morning is collection day. Forecast is for torrential rain.
I have:

300 cans of WD-40
68 spare spark plugs
30 spare HT leads
6 spare chains
Waterproof sandals

Anything else I might need to stand half a chance of making it to a main road to wait for breakdown assistance?

It ain't going to be able to pull that lot Murv! It'll struggle to pull the skin off a rice pudding with no load. Trying to carry a portly elderly git and half of Halfords it's got no chance! :wave:
