Default Shiny shiny

Just in after my first ride on the beast. Handles superb but the lights are going to need upgrading.

Will post some better ones when I can get at it in daylight

Nice, you got a garage? At least a ground anchor required.

Anchored to the side of the house, chained and disc lock as you can see + the car is now parked in front of it. They'd have to move the car to get at the bike.

Looking forward to the temperatures dropping again at the weekends then?

Nice wheels Bri, love these in Matt black. Never keen on the headlights though for some reason.

If its dry-ish I'll be out. I don't like the lights without the flyscreen - looks like they're stuck way out in front. Turning circle is a bit naff but its so light it doesn't really matter.

Love the colour scheme. Looks great. That should get the colour back in ya cheeks. That looks fast too. Could probably beat a Lambo.
