I feel sorry for the generation that missed out being able to ride a 250 on L plates :lol:
At the risk of upsetting yet another section of bikers, I thought the fizzy and all its clones where a bad joke :roll:

They look just brilliant. Early colour and stripes, though an autolube tank so must be off a late model.
Currently without a GT, but looking

Aye, it's what the fella wanted. It was a challenge replicating the screw on badges. Looks nice in that livery but I do like the popsicle purple

Very nice Kev, you’ve got a real flair for this now. If I can sort the wonga out when I strip the top end this winter I’ll get the fuel tank over to you to paint it in the correct silver colour. The red tank is from another colour scheme it should be all silver ;)

Well, miserable weather so I thought I would try my hand again at replicating Candy Jackal Blue.

So, after the 12 millionth attempt..
