Um... a Honda!

Got 'Blue' just about this time last year. Came in as a trade in from work, the sales guys couldn't believe they'd taken it on as it was the most pug ugly duckling of a thing you'd ever seen.
They were sitting in the yard, peeling off the Road Runner stickers and lamenting their fate when I walked out.

I kinda took pity on it and it, well, it followed me home Mum. Honest!

4 weeks later and he was turned into a gorgeous swan, with a little bit of Titainium and a lot of Repsol BLUE paint.

A pair of these.



enabled me to keep riding after the surgery on my foot, if I hadn't found boots I could wear without pain (well mostly) then I think the frustration would have killed me.

( a close second would have to be my triple underseat pipe though )



Cheers Mark.

I don't like the newer ones as much for looks = too pointy.

Hee hee, he's got a nice Blue Flame Twin Outlet Evo on him now too. Sounds luuuuuurrrrvvly.

Now it's sunny again I really must let them both out of hibernation and go take some more pics. If only to prove (again) that he's blue and not black!

The SV's Black! See, you can easily tell the difference:

Bought my 'Storm for a cracking price in November; A cheap pair of Allen radios for bike to bike comms with my bro in law. £60.00 all in. (That price does NOT include the 'Storm, just in case you were wondering!) With the kit I bought from Binky61 earlier this year they're bloody fantastic!

Pair of gloves I got in an end of season mail order sale. Thick leather throughout. Insulated with thinsulate, waterproof, not sweaty, great feel, almost like summer gloves, armour on them too. Couldn't ask for a better winter glove (although not tested in a crash yet, they certainly inspire confidence) and then the price: £22 with free P&P
