That's a gorgeous little bike one has there...

You don't have to leave it on the pavement, do you....... :?

Cheers! Yeah mate, and I'm in Camden too so I've got to keep my eye out for theiving scum. I keep it chained to the fence under a grotty old cover though......which a local dog has taken a rather disturbing liking to :shock:

That's a bugger about keeping it outside. I wouldn't sleep, personally!! :? for fear of having it nicked..

Hope you chain it with as much as possible......

I'd rather have a dog pi** up cover than have it stolen.. :wink:

Just a quickie. Noticed the chain adjuster plates at back are spotless...
How do you do that. I have a '51' plate and mine are slightly rusty...
Have you done anything to them or just kept 'em clean...

It's ok, I've got my housemate trained as a guard dog and his window it directly above the bike :thumbsup:

With the chain adjuster plates.........basically the person I bought it off really looked after the bike (never used it in winter or rain) and so there is very little corrosion on the bike when I got it. Since I ride all year, I use this stuff which seems to protect the bike well.

I used it on my old thundercat and corrosion was minimal. I've heard that WD40 works a treat too.

Thanks mate. All of the work except the mirror was done by the previous owner. I'm ordering some iridium indicators tomorrow (finally payday!) which should just about finish it off. :D

Yes, watch out... I read in our local paper that a £10k Benelli and a Kwak of some description got nicked over the Easter weekend up here in Crouch End. My neighbour's Ninja almost went missing too the other week...

No takers for my bike yet though... :-k

It's a coloured blueflame titanium dual port exhaust....sounds awesome on the v-twin with the baffles out :D

It was on the bike when I got it. I think there is a price list here:

Bike looks good (very fuzzy) but I think it's time to upgrade to a higher res camera or reduce your picture size to 640x480 to make them look better.

Looks nice, but sod cleaning it for 2 hours - do it in 30 mins and spend the other 90 riding it!
