Tidy mate, makes the garden look rather a mess...

Started to re-vamp the garden at the end of last year, got the new shed/garage up, new path down for the bike.. then kinda gave up :oops:

Was thinking the side stand was a bit short.. or bent? Everything looks ok at the hinge mounting.. thought it was going to fall over the first time i put it back on the stand :shock:

four bins????

Live in a block/row of houses.. they aint all mine :lol:

[falc]

You'll get used to it, I dont know what yours is like, but the one on Liz's 749 bends and flex's when you put the bike onto the stand, I dont trust it one little bit.

I've read a few horror stories about the stands on the older Dukes, I cant remember which model it is but they automatically flick up once the weight is off the stand. Just be careful with it.

[Biker Biggles]

Still the best looking Duke,whatever they say. :D

[diamond]

Still the best looking Duke,whatever they say. :D

Apart from the 749, obviously :wink: :lol:



Greay looking bike, enjoy.

Ditto. I was looking at a yellow 748R when I changed bikes last year. Absolutely stunning looking bike. Still want one, but still love the R6.

Same with an MV Augusta. A chap let me have a sit on his Senna model and I thought I had put it back on it's side stand, when I stood up and it dropped another inch :shock: Thought I was about to drop it :oops:

[Viney]

[Samnooshka]
