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
He's done that before on a ride out ... I have to look away and bite the inside of my mouth... You have to make sure you park next to OCD on the next rideout you come to, you'll make him ill

And the salt may or may not have gone down too. There is a bloke I work with, rides his "nice" bike to work most days and has a Yamaha TDM for the winter. It doesn't appear that it gets ACF, or even a wash after each season, it's a lesson in what salt and grime can do to a bike, it's rusted to buggery. The swingarm looks like a rusted iron girder poking out the back of the bike.I do like TDMs though, they look like the perfect commuting bike, they seem to hold their value a little more than I'd have expected though, clean ones fetch more than I thought they would.
yum yum

I've always wanted one of these and I've no idea why. Rarity? Underdog? Because I've never ridden a parallel twin? Who knows.

This and a TRX 850.

How's this for a start, taken about five mins ago outside work & yes my number plate is indeed a totally private plate
Ok I agree, I need to get a pic of mine next week, my plate is about a halfway house currently i.e. still way more visable than yours! Recent rain actually seems to have cleaned the bike a bit lol
No ACF50 no regular cleaning or polishing and its still not vaporised

Colleague of mine has been commuting on his '10 plate Street for the past two odd years, its a great little bike for all the above reasons and it just happens to be a hoot in summer too. Apart from the regulator issue and a dicky clutch lever cutoff micro switch (which seems to have cured itself) its been pretty reliable too. He's lobbed it twice and the damn thing just keeps working.Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
