This is the voice of the Mysterons... We know you can hear us, Earth-people...

07 ex-Management R1200S, just cleaned after a week getting filthy during a hard week at work. Waiting for the Boxertrix decal, and a few more bits and pieces.

One or two bits of trim. I couldn't take the heel-guards from the old bike because they were glued on, so I'll have to get them. Alan at John Clark Tayside says he is expecting a couple of go-faster, flashy bits.

Oh and there's going to be some extra security - if approached by a bike thief, or a giant squid, I'll be able to electrify the hull!

Nice looking bike :D - as said above- the belly pan works better on the new bike.

What's next? Black wheels or frame?

Damn - why didn't I think of that before I tightened all the screws? ;)

Actually I like the contrast of the "metalic" look of the frames and wheels against the overall black colour-scheme.

And Stoney & Al, you're right, it does look better than it did on the old bike.

That looks really neat, Ron!

I took my "sponsors" from someone's Boxercup racing trim, taking the products I actually used on the bike. Of course the new bike's got Metzelers (damitall! :D ) so it's out with the hairdryer and try to remove the Michelin decals.

Yeah mine were custom made too, but they don't look as professional as yours.

Nice touch :headbang: Now all you need is the tee-shirt :tshirt: :wink:

Paul
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

... the Foo Fighters new "Bomb" T-shirt in black, maybe...

... or maybe a nice Emporio Boxertrix one, customised with "Captain Black - Man of Mystery"

Not since I fell down the stairs at Glasgow Queen Street Low Level.

:(

I have three weeks off at the end of the month, and might have a wee birl on it then.

That'll teach you to drink on your way home.................. :?

Do you want me to give the bike a bit of an "exercise" until you are fit enough to go it yourself??

I'm here for you, if you need me (I don't do bedpans or anything like that, though :? )

Al :D
