    [​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG]Well ours aren't and we had a decent little spin out today ( 15.12.13) I got the call off Andy this morning at 9.15 am to say him and his good lady Marion were riding out to meet Barney at the Raven for a brew and to see his new machine ....10 am I was at the Shell garage on the A49 and met up with them .The roads were damp and crappy which forced a couple of spin ups but regardless the pace was on par with a summer ride out (except for the tingling fingers).
    Got to the Raven in good time had a nice hot brew and Bacon on toast and Barney arrived sporting a Clint Eastwood look!.
    Had a prat around outside looking at his new steer and then we parted Andy and Marion heading towards home and me and Barney heading towards Shrewsbury which is the opposite way for me but you don't waste any good days like today.
    So a good few hours spent out just washed the bike down and here are a couple of photos .[​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG]

    As ever nice ride out, absolutely love the fireblade !!! i have missed the torque of 1000cc, and the michelin pilot road 3's are a god send in the slippery conditions.
    thanks for getting out great to blow the cobwebs off ;-)

    The BMW's with white wheels also look stunning, mate had them done on his Mk1 and it looked stunning

    2012 HRC Blade also looks with them done
