You're familiar with this manor then! I live off Banham Road. 'Riggy Hill' is normally populated by little chavvy scrotes on those awful mini-motos.

Yup he's an ugly sod but good with seats....@tu*

I was about to buy a Melvin Hunter seat for an R1150GS I had, but then it got stolen :cry:

I can't ever see a black '02 model without having a second look, just to check!

Possibly. I've usually avoided places like that as they're normally full of sportsbike riding car drivers who only ride in the summer and I have very little in common with 'that sort'.

But if there's gonna be a bunch of 'Bird owners there......

grats mate. some nice little extras I think I spotted on there, clear indicators front and back, clear tail light maybe? cant quite see. Dont like the crash bungs though was told you can right off the bike as they snap off the mount on the frame.

Yes there's a clear tail light - that will HAVE to go! But I do like the clear lenses up front.

I'll have to look into what you said about the bungs. That's a bit worrying.

nice @tu* in the fastest colour too @tu*
good job you got black, if you had gone for red or blue you'd have been on the forum in a flash asking advice as to why it was so slow .... the slower ones are basically C50 step throughs with 'bird plastics ....

here's a red 'bird when you remove the panels

and here's a blue one

with a BlackBird you need to be aware of this data
