After a couple of dirty days I decided to clean the beast. Thought I would share it on here and et some feedback and unbiased reviews on the beast.

Nah, don't worry. It's fully faired.
And we're a tolerant lot. Take Rosco's 'pile 'o shite', he wishes someone would!

Sorry that's a bit harsh. We'd miss it. After all where else would we go if we wanted a drink of oil (another long story!).

Firstly the bike, very shiny, very tidy very nice, I like a lot, secondly I know Ross's bike likes to vomit oil occasionally and lose the odd spot of air out of the tyres but just remember he's probably the only member that comes on a rideout with a box full of enough spares/tools etc to probably build a spare bike.

At BC last year he had a spare lever after someone had a spill and snapped theirs, plus he supplied the tools at TOL that I took Rozy's bike to bits with after her little argument with the cattle grid.

I won't have a bad word said about Ross's steed Wink

Very nice looking bike Chris.
Have you done anything to her or is that they way she came?

I couldn't have anything other than black wheels on mine as the seeing the oil and dirt on them really annoys me and I get urges to clean them.....can't be ar5ed with that.

I know you're well Jel of my bike Greencat and calling it a pile o'shite is a merely a term of endearment. You've been listening to Terry too much and I know he has a thundercat fetish.

Thanks for defending me against the enslaught of abuse I received Steve.

Cheers
Rosco

Ps what kinda Nikon / lens you got there Chris?

Or even Surf & Turf?

I can vouch for Inspector Gadget and his box of goodies. He's a star he is, where would be without him? Still sat at the side of the road probably!!


The muck on Ross's bike keeps it all together so I wouldn't be cleaning it either.

Thanks guys. I personally have'nt done anything to it but i want to put LED lights with a seperate battery and swithch in the wheel arches. Although the owner before me put on: heated grips, d/b tinted screen, scottoiler, rear hugger and some little decals. I am using a Sigma m/f 55-200mm lens for nikon d40.

Very nice, loving the yellow wheels too. If you hadn't put a picture up and just described it I would have thought 'yellow wheels??? Really???' but they really look top notch. Good work!

It may still pass with a note. I forgot to put the baffle back in my Cutdown Beowulf and it still passed. It's down to the Db level.

If you have an iPhone or a Newer iTouch I sure there is a Db Sound app. that will give you a guide on how many Db's your is producing. You have to hold the revs at something like 5-6k, maybe someone else can add more to this.
