Cheeky git

I should point out that my recent 3pts/£60 were earned in the cage in broad daylight.

It least I go out in the dark, unlike certain BMW riders (who shall remain nameless)

05 model. looks the same judging by the description. But I really struggle to read them, maybe I need a new visor?

how about GLASSES

Dunno how good the clocks are as two of the bulbs arent working and as I've crushed the speedo cable that doesnt work all the time either.

I know you will all start saying why dint you get SV, but I just like the Hornet- you do need help -. As a matter of interest are the SV's clocks any good in the dark?

Eat more carrots or get an SV surely no one could love a hairnet that much? You could? Could ya, really? Nah, don't believe it!

All you need to see is a needle whizzing round that circular dially thingy

The thing you constantly go off of

Perhaps the reason you can not see the clocks is the same reason for buying a
bike that looks like a Hornet in the first place. ie. Your eyesight is very very bad.

If you're finding it really bad, maybe an aftermarket option like a Veypor might be your solution- not cheap, but very clear.

Yeh, i cant read my speedo/tacho at night either.

It would help if i changed the bulbs which have all gone.

Just buy a small torch. It's cheaper
