Default Now there's a pretty thing... Northwind comes over all TSM





My experimentin's led me down a bit of a dubious path I've been scooting around like this for a couple of weeks, it's actually pretty liberating. "Bit windy out, will your bike be OK?" "Who cares?"

Soon, all bikes will be TSM-rats. That's scottoil burn-off on the exhaust, not rust, btw. But it definately is rust on the starter. And yes, my luggage rack's made of wood. Not just a pretty face

Very clever modular rack system with the adapters for bigger loads at the back of the picture.

They're my favourite bit, you can really see the love and care that went into it. Fairing's off to see how I get on without the screen etc, since I had to get in behind the clocks for a wiring fix I decided to leave it off for a while and see how I like it. My neck is growing thicker by the day...
