Daz, Champ, Hog, Alan...

Zebra-stripe it in a mix of Matt and Gloss black.

 

heh. I typed that at high speed, while the world (ok, the project)
around slowly fell off it's axis. Stress does odd things.

 

Oh dear. 'That' project, the big important one? Oh dear.
It doesn't seem to help with the feral apostrophes much, either ;-)

 

oops. Mine passed UAT with flying colours, and i got a promotion.

 

I almost did it to the last one. It may be a goer on this in order to
keep the road plastics perfect for resale.

 

Mine came in three weeks early and on budget.

 

Very good point. In fact the is a headlight unit on Ebay at the
moment for bugger all, I may buy it for a spare just in case.

It's already got mushrooms fitted, but they look a bit small to me.
Will have to use a plank of wood when I get it to work out if they'll
keep the fairing off the ground.

 

Forgot:

The one thing I'm really worried about damaging is the tank and I
can't think of an easy way to protect that.

 

Baglux tank bag.

 

<fx: high-fives Blaney>

<fx2: limps away clutching bandaged wrist>

 

... fitted to the purchased second-hand pre-dented tank, the
pristine one being safe at home ...

 

Aye. The whole sleeper thing was part of my motivation for getting a
b12. A gixer thou made up to look like a CX500 - now there'd be a
joy to behold!

 

*boggle*

**** that's a bargain, mate!

The -12R was over 900 sovs FC with the same 3yrs NCB and, for comparisons
sake, I tried getting a quote for a Gixxer thou and couldn't get it below
a grand...

How about a real challenge? A CX500 made up to look like a proper bike.

 

Congratulations, sir.

May I just say, "Woof!"

You might want a little day out to P&H in Crawley, then. They've always
got demonstrators of pretty much everything that most other dealerships
wouldn't ever contemplate, i.e. R1, Gixxer thou, 'Blade...

Nice folks, too. £20 for the test ride, refundable if you buy a bike.
Usual humongous excess if you total it but if you just nadger a lever,
that's all you pay for.

No big deal, it is all in your imagination.

 

What's brought that on, then?

You'll get used to it, it's hard having to do some work after years of
drinking coffee and posting to UKRM. DAMHIK,IJD,OK?
