Well it is the right colour for a Routemaster

Very nice although those cans need to be shortened forthwith

Great news that your Mrs has got the Sv too.

You love red don't you?

It might have a bit of white viper styleee stripe added to it just as a bit of a contrast. The cans are going as they are road legal with fixed baffles and i cant hear the engine anything over 50mph. I'm looking a pair of Quill cans at the moment with removable baffles, she should roar then

Sweet.

Loved mine. (Black R reg)

Slo-mo POWA WHEELIES!

Setting off rows of car alarms!

Major boom, boom out of corners!

Seeing the "sheep" on their 600's disappear!

165mph!

Likes a drink, jus' like me!

After 3years and 36k, it (not be my poor bike skills, no no at all

)highsided me off into a barbed wire fence and bounced back onto the kerb with me beneath it. Does not matter if folk tell you its soft. Big bikes bite hard!

Go easy (its a lazy twin after all.) Enjoy.

I hear you on that one, apparently it will get 100 to the tank but i'm lucky if i get 80 miles, oh well. Its not so much the consumption as the puny tank size.
