Helmet holders seemed to be a "must have" fitment to 80's bikes that has fortunately disappeared. It was tongue in cheek (as to a lesser extent was the rest of my post)
Mine too, was tongue in cheek: no pillion, no wife to 'here, hold this a sec'...and then walk to cafe leaving her with 2 helmets, bags, shoes etc
I’ve always liked the way JVB carved the rear part of the tank away to allow access to the rear head/plug/carb. The routing of the exhaust that exits through the rear of the side of the seat, on the other side, may fall into the impractical category, but IMHO doesn’t detract from a finely crafted, minimalist custom.
Met a lovely chap in misano, he told me all he wanted to be was a firefighter. Edit to add, iv no idea why anyone would dislike this post.
He was chilling alongside his family on a sun lounger on the section of beach he manages, I must say we were made most welcome and franki chatted for over half an hour. He was amused that I named my foxterrier franki after him. This is franki posing with another firefighter.
Gawd... I never realised they did rear sprockets that small. It must have been just off idle at the ton.
Let me think, wheel rim tape, Ducabike clear clutch cover and stick on wings, mmmm Not sure I care if they do Andy
Probably the same on my Darmah... although I suspect that may just be down to an over optimistic speedo But I know what you mean, long legged doesn't begin to describe it but there's not much better than the easy speed it provides. Although the clutch & chain might complain.
It was measured at around 140mph by Performance Bikes at a frenzy with some revs left but it never sounded stressed
