That's precisely why I don't like it! Just makes me think of that hehe
The first thing that popped into my head was the "One Life. Live It" stickers that Land Rover drivers are so fond of.

Look really well made George, how much wonga?

I've had RST Slice gloves - dyed my hands when they got even damp, poor stitching, threads everywhere, velcro came off the cuff. Put me right off RST! £10 second hand RST Razor jacket looks very worn too, but I think it did have a hard life before me to be fair!

I've also had Spada Predators - very nice well made gloves, but got smelly quite quickly - odd!

Now got a pair of Alpinestars SP2s which I nabbed on ebay last year for £40 - didn't fit the chap. They've been worn a lot, and haven't got smelly half as bad as the Spadas did. Really comfortable and well made, bar some of the vinyl lettering and detailing peeling. Really like them and will buy Alpinestars gloves again for sure!

Should have a set of these Triumph LED indicators coming within the next week... going to look smart hopefully!


Plan to tidy up the tail tidy wiring with a little waterproof box at the same time - like this:


Just need a pair of crash bungs, and an engine protection cover set now... and some carbon trinkets perhaps!

Did you see the BMW 9T ( I think...?)

Loved the look of it...some other pics of the night..

That's a modified R1200R, not a 9-T. Still lovely though smile
Right...it was on a 14 plate and looked so unlike any BMW id seen before, proper retro, I thought it might have been..

Couple for Y2. ...not as scenic or hardcore as your pics but if Carlsberg did mountain biking...








I had to pop up to Halfrauds to get a couple of bits for the MB, as the footie was on, the town was a mare, couldnt be arsed to stick all the leather gear on and get the GSXR out but the LC is a great town bike..

Yeah it was a shame there wasn't anymore down there. There was some nice bikes down there though, a couple of Moto Guzzi's, a Carbon HP4 and a few very loud superbikes of various sorts.

It does look very nice, a very R90S vibe going on. The easiest spot for the Nine-T is that it has conventional USD forks rather than the duo lever suspension all the other R series bikes have.

I sometimes find myself thinking "I could never own a black bike, give me a bit of lively colour any day" and then I see this bike and I'll like "Oh fuuuu".
