Oh, alright, I'll be honest - it's as ugly as a hat full of arrrsoles - happy? 

When did you see that?  Actually, I'd rather you not say.

Re. the bike, I reckon it looks okay.

How polite of you. I would say that the front view is butt-ugly !  It certainly doesn’t have the sleekness of the ST1800.

I'm sorry to hear it has come to this.  I guess it's a decision we'll all have to make one day.  I hope it goes to a good home and to catch up to you at future RTEs.  I think you were the first person I met at the Normanville RTE all those years ago.
