    Don't you think it could be improved with a small mountain of Ventura luggage? Maybe a modest 200L or so?

    Staying with black!

    got a few bits today, another side fairing ,£20! ( just a few stone chips on it), yoshi carbon r77 mint of andy,mirror etc.... Going to get a full re spray I think in black, with a slight twist on the finish......and some new carbon bits that haven't been done before.... And maybe some uber bling parts.

    cant wait now......

    Thanks anyway, but black is best for me.... Subtle and classy.

    New zero gravity corsa ordered too and new clip on and bar weights.... Just need the plastics filling and smoothing (if they can, if not a new set), yoshi bar ends, rizoma grips, rizoma indicators, new peg and rear brake lever, engine casing protectors and definitely crash bungs for plastics.

    Ah, well that's easy!

    Tiz the same as what's fastest, the HRC's or predominately White bikes, as science has proven that Black colours absorb the most heat from the Sun's rays and Heat, as we all know' is the enemy of the internal combustion engine in terms or performance and economy!

    :D

    Thank you, thank you, I'm here Monday to Friday and most weekends.

    Now, as I don't relish my position as community grown up because A I'm not fond of doing anything with the word community in it and 2 I'm not fond of doing anything with the words grown up in it, can we now go back to doing what we do best, talking bollocks and taking the piss out of my hair colour/age/accent. It's getting like a goddamned girls school in here.

    Simon Norris, your bike looks fucking shit hot in the colour you've been trying to polish off of it since you got it. Even with road rash it looks more spectacular than mine.

    Everybody else, when the orange light/last bar on the fuel guage comes on, slow the fuck down and start looking for big neon signs over the hedges.

    Me, I'm going to sit in the garden with a very strong coffee and wonder where that half a bottle of Absolut went last night. Memory told me that Ciaran drunk it for some reason, what the fuck that's all about I can't say.

    Oops, that sounds like Jeanette pulling up, better get on with the hoovering.

    Remember, all of you, don't argue with idiots, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience. Now fuck off out on your bikes!

    That is all.

    Glad your going for the Yoshi's again Si they look great on your bike. I am just jealous they don't do them for my year. Your bike has always looked awesome Si, you have good taste. Hope it all gets sorted quickly mate, whatever you do it will look great I am certain.
