  3. Cibie Z beam headlight.
    S&W Street Stroker rising rate shocks
    Alfa 41 straight through pipe (loud as)
    Rickman full fairing
    Clip ons
    Other bits and bobs I can’t remember.

    The god of a rider wears
    Custom painted (by a mate) AGV Sheen rep lid - before AGV bought one out.

    Jack boots ;)
    And ever so sexy red one piece that has been down the road many times, note bust zip on calf.
    Glad you like :)

  4. My daily is an old Cagiva V-Raptor which uses the same TL motor, albeit a little detuned & shorter geared, and what a stormer of a motor it is too.
     
  5. Like is an exaggeration I feel. They can be interesting as they can be pointers to a persons good taste.
    As an example bradders tank tops………

    Loads of carbon, in fact every piece of black plastic was replaced with carbon fibre including a full undertray which looked amazing.

  15. Just found this - 748 that I’d just bought in Paris and ridden back to Blighty. 18th May 98.

    Ended up being a lovely bike after I’d cleaned it but it did blow its engine on its first trackday….
