Got all my carbon panels i have been getting made and test fitting them, so far so good!
Would post pics but file sizes to big and no idea how to reduce them.

I think it just means they have found a New cheaper supplier so it has Improved their profit margin!

Interesting, Z750Jay. Perhaps the black jacket and white helmet makes car drivers think, Police?

I missed two Integras this week, in Clay Cross and Bridgend. Just wasn't meant to be, keep looking.

Going back a few years, one of the local courier riders got an ex police bike complete with reflective stickers as it was really cheap then noticed that the amount of near misses he used to surfer from went down an awful lot.

Had to laugh, a rider turned up on his white Chinese CB250 all bedecked out in Polite vest, Polite stickers on his bike, white lid etc at a local bike night. He got tonnes of grief on Facebook. Now I am not overly fond on the Polite vests but this grief was from a crowd roughly equally split between Sons of Arthritis, Moto GP and Ewan M'Greggor look a likes who between them probably only ride to the meet and back and average 1000 miles a year.
Still, could have been worse, he could have been a AIM rider ;)

Well after almost two weeks of constant rain had to take my leaking covers off, wash and dry off and use a bit of WD40 and ACF50 on those nuts and bolts which were furring up. The Tmax "fared" far better than my CBF in the corrosion stakes. The only bits which were furring were a couple of caliper bolts and rear casing bolts. The CBF's chain was starting to rust, and parts of the water pump and rear ABS rotor :shock: Took 'em both for a quick spin before covering them up again! :oops:

fitted the dr pulley rollers, and used front lower black panel from germany and used a hycote touch up brush matt black to touch up the bar ends and bits on back of mirrors and black fairing front underbelly which were all part of previous owners coming off... (the scoot must have fallen one side then span and flipped other side!!!) fitted used front under panel and used gp type graphic stickers to hide other scrapes on the silver panels, next job is the exhaust tomoz if this weather holds up and some other black work (bought somesmooth matt black vynal wrap to cut to shapes)then the scoots finished for the summer ahead.

Total cost for the superdink 300 and all parts is tad under £1500 so all in all a happy bunny
I cant seem to remember.. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.
