Now he's got the Dustybin fairing he's going to have to learn the Ted
Rogers "3-2-1" finger thingy.

 

That's so wrong. Poor little bike what did it ever do to deserve that?

 

I *was* going to comment that "at least it covered up that hideous piece of
shit" until I saw the last pic...........

Please tell me he's not taking that to Chimay ..

I'm going to go to away and try to figure out why anyone would wish to
put a fancy dress costume on a bike.

 

*Wonderful*

 

You're just working up to being a full scale nutter who bodges 3
engines together to make a VFR2400, aren't you?

 

Where else do you think it's going?

 

It's reassuring to see that mental illness is flourishing in Thornbury.

 

Don't encourage him.

 

"expression burn-in".

 

"I have a friend who thinks he may be mad."

I saw that. Actually, my plans involve something along the lines of an old
400/4 or 500/4, red tank, racing seat, clip-ons and rearsets etc.

I'm closely watching item 4651603170 also, as it has a kitemark to confound
the busies. I already have the plain black leathers, of course.

Thing is, a properly-faired motorcycle will have a higher top speed than the
equivalent dolphin-faired bike. If I was to mount this fairing on something
like, say, a CB400F - which would normally struggle up to something just
over the ton - who knows what might be possible?

 

I'll be on the VFR this year, but yes, I'd love to take it to Chimay. Next
year, I suppose.

 

It's only trying it on for size. I want a small Honda four for it.

 

Soon, my precious. You may have mail in a little while.

 

She's not. "I thought you were joking..."

 

Health.

And efficiency.
