Dobles have a standard one sprayed in the same type design but with a narrower stripe on the side from fairing to tank as well as other differences (No blue section above number board on the front, large white section on tail piece and HRC sticker in a different place etc,etc). They also have the belly pan stickered up and a 50yr celebration sticker on the front mud guard. Double Pauls I prefer yours
Thank god Dobles is at t'other end of the earth to me else I think my bank account would be emptying fast lol.....I absolutely love this paint job If that's still there by the time I've sold my house I'm having it
The Doble's is a good attempt, but I much prefer @PauloHRC 's on which the rear cowl treatment is far superior. I'm generally in favour of black frames, but for this particular paint scheme I think the silver frame wins out. The added SP treatment of silver lower fork legs (Ohlins) (shame about those damn reflectors though) and the deleted pillion pegs make the SP version more aesthetically pleasing to me. I think you're hooked @Lozzy. Who knows what you'll be riding come spring?
Oh durrr I was speed reading and only realised now it's a standard blade That's no good...I want the SP...guess I could pick up a low mileage used one and with the money saved, get spraybay to sort it I'll see how @PauloHRC handles & looks when he let's me have a go
Yes not a bad effort, not quite as accurate and with mine being the SP, it does have that special feel about it Update on the bike, will be delivered on Saturday at some point, time to be confirmed! mentioned that I didn't have a Lithium charger so I've managed to get one of those thrown in. Asked for the permanent charging cable to be fitted to the battery before its delivered. Normally do this myself but better safe than sorry!!
I vote that we all band together and form a welcoming party at @PauloHRC 's place on Saturday. Will be a great day. @Lozzy can bring Spam Fritters and calendars; @Selmer50mark can bring pies; @bradt can bring cigars AND one of those cool masks should anyone suffer the after-effects of too many pies; and I will bring my cat for all the pussy stroking lovers.
Pmsl I think the final coup de grace of your master plan will need you to just casually mention to Mrs Paulo about him squeezing that blondes arse at his Xmas works do then......while she's battering the shite out of him with the frying pan, we'll all have a test ride on the SP
Bleedin' Heck @Wozza. I didn't know whether to put 'agree' or 'funny' for that. I remember you screwed your dealer to the bone. I reckon they were glad to see you ride off and probably won't welcome you back any time soon!!
Hi N quite the opposite they called me to wish me happy Christmas....I always ask in the right way plus they know my bikes like yours are always immaculate no need to send them pics for px etc my blade that I traded in sold in one day and they didn't even prepare it in terms of cleaning it...plus they know I will be back for more....also got free delivery and the 3yr service plan thrown in.....I'm the same with the cars when they go for a service I ask them Not to wash or Hoover it no need....its just how I am I like everything uptogether and if you keep on top of it ...it doesn't take long or much effort....
Yep I only sent them pictures for my part ex and I got a seriously good price for it, so not sure i'll get 3 year service plan thrown in as well !! i'm happy with what I've got so far, I did mention The FREE VIP passes for British Superbikes at Oulton park and Free Umbrella didn't I ??
Might even copy it for myself. If it's good enough for @nozdog to plagiarise it must be open slather on here! No offence to nozdog of course; I am not to know whether he has an SP2 wheel at home. For all I know he might have just bought a wheel and no bike!
Yes, I agree it's worth offering congratulations for that, not only for the bike but also for @PauloHRC 's strong following. Not really a surprise though, because it DOES provide AMPLE PROOF that anything HRC is both respected and appreciated!!
Nige. ...I thought your New Years resolution was to stay away from the Caps Lock THAT DIDN'T LAST LONG DID IT
Hey @PauloHRC ! Special purchase required for tomorrow. Paddock stand bobbins. I see from the pic that Hunts is using the under-the-arm cups and not bobbins. I think you had bobbins on your '99'.
