Hmmmmmm that's not right....
 
went for a ride yesterday afternoon couple of hundred miles so everything got a bit warm, at one point I gave the bike it's head and tried it full speed down a bit of motorway, came off after about 10 minutes and pulled up for a fag, to find.......................... I seem to have melted my offside rear indicator and side panel :o

I've already ordered a new pair of indicators, but I'll have to twist the can somehow to stop it happening again.

Heh, mine is slowly distorting the numberplate, but it's just far enough away and out of line that I don't actually have to be rsed doing anything about it. Score.

Honda VFR 400?
Seat, Rear fairing and white wheels looks similiar.
But chain on the right hand side confuses me :(

But the chain switched sides with exhaust, makes me think a older style Aprillia, they have that set up on their current small capacity bike..
Still not sure..

Hey Mark, so you have that bike? Is it a runner? what's it like? I take it's a stroker?

See you Friday

rictus01 13-02-09 04:16 AM

Re: Hmmmmmm that's not right....
 
Well yes and no, the engine was donated as an engineering project sometime ago, the rest is in parts in my shed, yes it was a two stroke motor, guess it could be rebuilt, but not really of any interest to me.

Cheers Mark.
