    Its just about ready to go to paint, just about set on a 90’s supercross theme, if u followed American MX / SX I’m going with a 92 Damon Bradshaw theme with some other additions

    Richart Concepts do an amazing job so given Richard a few things to include and pretty much letting go for it!

    He’s painted all in about 20 helmets for me now admittedly all for work not myself and impressed each and every time so far so my turn now

    Will post pics once he’s underway

    Cheers
    Lee

    I have a number plate fetish, so I must applaud you on 'Lucy's' plate:D.

    PS. You bike's come up okay also;).

    Lol cheers

    Should really have edited that out but feck it too late now!!

    Bought it for my son Lucas but if there’s a Lucy out there I may sell it ha ha, it’s on my beloved Honda Zoomer which I reckon has to be the best example out there with only 848mls on it!

    Screen looks good.....what brand is it? :)

    Did you manage to fit the radiator guard without any problems? I've had a look under there and there is a bracket that supports the front brake lines......Can you fit it without moving it all out of the way? o_O

    Powerbronze light tint double bubble, really pleased with it!

    Rad guard was easy enough, had to loosen the fairing either side then slides in, no need to move the bracket

    Yes mate, almost went for an R&G guard but so glad I never, RRG is amazing value for money at £29 and quality is bang on plus service first class so really can’t recommend highly enough

    I really wanted a can then I was done but all the throttle issue chat put me right off, although whilst I really dont want to tempt fate for the only 46 mls I’ve done so far it feels bang on

    Just ordered the rad guard.....I meant to get one a few weeks ago but the seller was away!

    GB Racing covers next week off the Mrs for my birthday too!

    I agree again with you about the Can, I'm happy to stick with the standard as all the chat about fuelling and making it run worse has also put me off. I know I'll get bored after a while though so an Arrow Gp Pro race is on the watch list ;)

    Ha ha am totally with you on that, once I’ve got some dry miles of ringing it’s neck I’ll be going for a Can 2!! Something short like ma sull!!

    Other than the Can not really anything else can do I suppose, thought of some lighter wheels but figured if I upted my cardio there’s easy a stone to lose which I’d see the benefit of easy and save me some dough!

    You've got me sussed. Quite seriously, I actually Googled 'Honda Zoomer' because I couldn't remember the model style! Leem's safe though; it's not for me:D.

    I was picturing @exuptoy 's B.I.L mint R6 though!

    Lol an acquired taste right enough!

    Some years back I kept buying bikes for summer then selling them so never had a decent no claims so thought i’d Buy a scooter and just leave it in the garage and add bikes to that policy which worked a treat as now insurance costs have come down and the little bug eyed scoot appears to have gone up in value... win win!
