Thanks Andy, it is a beauty and rides as good as it looks, I'm very pleased with my purchase. :D You're obviously another person on here with impeccable taste. 8-)

But isn't it strange how a certain person on here, who's always banging on about how he likes to be different, in an attempt to wind up the purists, doesn't like it when someone else does something different.
Or is that simply envy? :roll:
Can't wait to see what sh1te excuse he comes up with this time. ;)
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

They're all fitted with Pirelli's, out all day today so can't say which type. :(

Back home now and can tell you it's fitted with Pirelli Phantom SportsComp' tyres. All insured now and rearing to get out on the road. New genuine RE screen came today, (less than a week from India!) so I'll be getting that fitted asap. :D

If you mean me, carry on - whatever floats your (fishing) boat. They're pretty in an agricultural way, but I don't want one.

Nope.

Excuse? Dunno wotchermean. I just prefer 2 strokes.

I was a bit slow getting that one Paul, probably because I'm not used to such subtle sarcasm from the perpetual resident grump. :roll:
But to answer your expertly worded sarcastic dig,
there's no problem with oil slicks.............yet. :lol:
