I'll get a better one once out but honestly it looks like a very clean light. I did Germany with just the low beam mod and had zero issues or complaints

It was a mixture of bad camera and exhaust smoke/fumes I think making it look that way

It's an official model in the Suzuki range on Indian sub continent. You spotted an RWern yet? wink

I did have a little chuckle when I saw that... hehe

Then I was back to normal grumpy

P.S.

I'm off that social media nightmare that goes by the name of FB, too much drama for me.

Wow there some bikes right there! I found my Tuono ok with Germany and I did a fair old amount of miles. I think 1300 in 3 days. Its a bit annoying anything above 95ish though with the buffeting

And didnt know he used to race - I see why now. I'll give him some slack as I did too and if he had an ACU he'll know my old 5 digit number shows when I got mine compared to most high 6 digit now! He'll come back with a 4 digit 1980's special Im sure haha

I have no idea where my UK ACU licence is. It was probably issued in 1999 after a long layoff. My SA National was issued in around 1979 and International in 1981/82. Never rode anything except 4 strokes as I was and remain a lard arse.

1982 750cc Proddie field at 1st turn Kyalami


1999 UK Earlystocks bike


1983 F1 Katana on a budget see 19" front wheel


1981 on a Z1R based F1 bike again on 18" front wheel and standard brakes


2000 UK Earlystocks 750 Ducati Pantah [1978 bike]


1979 me with a new road going Z1R and my youngest brother with his 50cc Italjet that ended up in our pool in SA.


1999 UK Earlystocks me with "Wally bib" on a std CBX which was such fun.



Clearly all of these were a million years ago now and I am a fat old pensioner who ponces around posing with nice bikes.

Thats brilliant! You were racing when I was born biggrinlaughlaugh

And as for the italjet 50...I had one too in 1986 with the orange tank!



Beautiful MV you got there. I loved mine but prefer the 'naked' type bikes on road

I had a Tuono V4R 1000 ABS APRC and found it to be a great bike. I was just never convinced that it would not st its pants so parted with it after 2500 miles and 7 months.

Returning from a trip to Nordschleife.


Nowadays I trundle around sedately on my R1200RS with Spareparts on his R1200GS.

Looking at those two photos the BM is defiantly more your size. BM is XL rather than the XS Aprilia biggrin
