At last winter!!

I love what you have done to that Harley. I have toyed with getting one of them and you have done exactly what I would to it, except I would also put the mirrors under the bars and have the bars about 2 inches higher and kept the instrument dial more upright.

You can never have too many ratchets...

Cheers! I had the mirrors under the bars but could only see my elbows and with the clip on bars the clearance with the tank is pretty tight. It's still a work in progress, get some bar end mirrors and fix the rear end in some way.

Owned naked, sports and dirt bikes. Just trying something different.

Well yes

Actually I put it in shot to show how weedy a 1/2" drive breaker bar is compared to a 3/4" drive ratchet - it has never failed me yet against the most stubborn seized nut or bolt

Went out on the bike today, needn't have bothered washing it yesterday.

[Hooli]

That's still clean From the same distance my number plate looks exactly the same colour as the mudguard/wheel/swingarm/exhaust/etc etc etc

I don't think you've washed your bike in all the time I've known you!

You have to make sure you park next to OCD on the next rideout you come to, you'll make him ill

Agreed, are we starting the dirtiest bike pic again competition to freak out the OCD cleaning lot? Mine is doing much better than this one already!

[Deranged Granny]

I do like that colour scheme, Tom. Agreed about washing it. I've just stopped bothering now. I kind of like the dirty look.

Everyone says that. I think they might have sold more if they had painted them in decent colours rather than the boring stuff that they did. My only gripe is that the quality of the paint job isn't great but looks good enough from a distance.

He's done that before on a ride out ... I have to look away and bite the inside of my mouth...

I Have seen this bike before, really love the Thunderace such a great bike...how long have you had it?

That paint job really suits it too.

[Jonjo91]

Taken whilst out last weekend. Such a buzz everytime I ride this bike.
For a 400 engine it's so much fun, stupendously loud too.
