And here's one I washed earlier

[charlie13]

I've seen a lot of pic's a shiny bikes recently so I thought I'd add mine too. And the only reason it's as clean as this is because it went in for an MOT last week. Otherwise it had been sporting a black rear wheel, and i'd forgotten that the crankcases were actually silver. They still are, mainly.

alright, pic doesn't seem to want to displaty, linky http://www.flickr.com/photos/37672040@N04/3465647994/

I think the aerodynamic hump on the back of my bike is a particulary nice touch, as is the textured paintwork on the forks. And there's some nicely detailed paintwork on the tank that isn't really clear in this shot.

I love that areodynamic hump, I have one on my bike bit its a bit less areodynamic

:kiss:

try a bellypan and a taller screen for your very practical bike there :D

i did have a double bubble, but caught the corner of it pulling the bike back off the abba stand and cracked it off. After sulking for a while that i'd just effectively torn up £60 I put the standard screen back on, no plans for another screen now. Bellypan may be added, but first it's gixxer forks.

I'm fighting the urge to vomit.

Ogden - don't fight it, blow chunks all over it. I need to replace the protective layer of dirt that I washed off it for the MOT.

MYC - how did you get that image to show? Feel a bit of a technonumpty that I couldn't work it out

Well if you go to your pic on flickr, right click on it and "view image" then copy that address and type (address) in your post. Or alternatively use the landscape icon at the top of the post and insert the web address there :-)

and even the shiny new shock has managed to attract some dirt
