It looks OK to me - nicely used.

That seat looks like a plank. Is it as hard as it looks?

Its actually supprisingly comfortable, Quite happy for an hour or so, but fuel dictates a stop quicker than my pain......

Its not usually that dirty but it rained today and I was out on it quite a bit...

awfull photo...

Nice to see a "Used" bike. The pleasure is cleaning it afterwards and making it look shiney again :)

nieve maybee...

I looked at kitting it out properly and it came to nearly ?300 which is my excess, and if i use all the bungs itll probably be bike terminal regardles...

not really, there is so much exposed that if i do crash it, it will more than likley be an insurance job any way...

the handle bars get ripped off wich exposes the rest of the bike to the road...

crunch.. boo hoo

can I just say that crash bungs are great for protecting your bike, but in the case of my accident, being only top faired (and the bungs being quite wide) it was the crash bung which snapped my Femur. Will make me think again before I buy another set for a naked bike

Leg is healing well I think, got loads of mobility in it already after just 3 weeks but still cant walk on it. No idea about wrist as thats still pinned up and I cant move it even if I tried.

That's a bit like my Dad's car accident - he received his worst injuries from his seat belt.
Although I wouldn't say put yourself at risk to protect your bike, I would imagine that it was quite a freak occurence and you have no idea what would have happened without the bungs which might have been worse.

GWS! & soz for the kinda derail :)
