Ok so u know i got a new bike..

now I had new tyres- yummy look at the tread.

and then the thread re the hugger- i got a bargain on a black one with gold mesh - which a lot of you said would be best-

I still crave a white one with silver mesh ..!

however- it dont look bad- just dirty- which is unlike me- washing her tommorrow.

Get those hoops scrubbed in, unless they already are and the camera flash makes it look like they're not. :)

Hugger looks smart BTW. I like it in black as i think if it was white the whole rear end would look too pale.

You should live down south, it was a nice 13C here today. I got my new tyres fitted and scrubbed in today, via a speedy hoon with HooliganDan.

A few of us are also off to the coast tomorrow. :cool:

That is pretty dirty, although i can hardly speak as my R6 was filthy and the chain had rusted until i sorted it on Monday.

I take a more casual aproach to cleaning my bike. :)

Personally i would ride first and then clean if there was time. After all no point having a clean bike that you don't have time to ride.

Black / White doesn't matter, just enjoy the good deal you got. so relax & enjoy it, if you keep looking for a white one then it won't have been such a good deal afterall.

I would leave that plate as is, sounds like you had the misfortune of dealing with a particularly knobbish one - unless you're going to be in North Wales a lot?

Blue dust caps you Chav! ;) own up, did you put them on? or were they already on?
:D

Thats some nice deep tread you got going there, like the hugger in black as well.

all you need now is some of that gold mesh to close in the fairing at the back under the hugger to stop all that cr@p getting in.
