The hair is indeed my own. We're it fake I would not have chosen snow white for a colour.

The grass is indeed Astro Turf. Front and Rear. Hate anything to do with gardens so did them both late last year.

.. and very nice it looks too, and the grass, so nice in fact you have me thinking about the sorry looking trodden mess that I sarcastically call my garden.

And youngest son just bought his RM back, still to get to a decent place to ride it .

New bike purchased yesterday, hopefully a step up from my F4 CBR600F

CBR was picked up yesterday and this is being delivered next week. Can’t wait!

Commiserations, I understand the F4 is the perfect bike.

Jokes apart, I’d be really interested in your comparison/review.

Certainly is, not that i bought it based on that. I wanted a K4/5 and this fit the bill and comes with the aftermarket can as standard. It also has a slightly different paint scheme and blue seats and thankfully the stock blue chain has been replaced at some point with a standard chain. I've bought a single seat cowl thing for it too which i think finishes it off.

That would be awesome, beers tokens can be sent/charitable donation of your choice

Been 5 years since I retired from mx. Too old and fat and too many long term injuries but the want to race anything I can is still there

I decided to go out yesterday on track and share my sons bike. He went expert I went inters

I forgot just how physical that sport is, you have to be top of your game for core strength

I was a bit skittish in places and had a touch of the old whisky throttle on my 6th lap so decided that was enough for my first session

Marshals came over to me soon as I pulled in and asked me to go expert. After all that time off to get asked that (and this is only a practice not a race like a track day) made my day as silly as it sounds. Talk about stroking my ego

I did 3 sessions (motos) and finished with an ice cold peroni, a bacon sarnie and a smile ear to ear.... Walking about today like I've shat myself



And a side by side of my son and me...

That looks a lot of fun.

It was like a windmill after that haha

I've been getting some period-correct leather bags and seat custom made in the US for the '47 Chief. Just had photos through of them ready for despatch - Wow - don't they look great?
(OK, I accept the style is marmite)



Fringes The world needs more fringes

[Krikkit]

They look like a great investment - the style suits an Indian fine, but it would look a bit knobbish on a 1200GS!
