Is that white stuff on the roof some kind of insulation?

That's a bike to go on tour with my god that's been pimped with lights, it wasn't an Asian who previously owned it was it? I remember at a campsite somewhere in Europe on the way to Norway and German guy came along with one and his trailer and was reversing in he had about 5 attempts to get it straight, I held up my hand as if to say Halt! and then lifted the trailer so that it was straight, he was not chuffed

Hi peter...most of these are pimped out...this one is discrete until you flick a couple of switches...
Standard from factory they are all plain..no chrome or bells n whistles....labour of life for the previous owners...

Graham

That's stunning Graham. 40 years since I road a bike but envious of yours.

My plates are A3LON and when I bought them about 12 years ago I got dogs abuse from the missus as she hates private plates. As a joke I mocked up some for her birthday a couple of years ago and barely escaped serious injury as she thought they were real.

Well it does look great and the lights are only pimping when switched on, is it legal to ride it with the pimp lights on?

Peter

 

[A13GNR]

nooooo cant ride with all those on....although we do for charity rides..like llandudno Light parade...etc

cheers

Very nice Graham, I've never had a cruiser, always opting for super bikes with my last one being a Triumph Daytona 995 but gave up when my son was 16 as he wanted to get one and the only way of stopping him was to give my own up. I know its hypocritical but he's more important to me. Now that I'm a bit older and he's more interested in other things a Gold Wing would suit my fat arse. Thanks for showing, its a lovely bike.

 

[bigbob]
