Damn! Can't see the pictures at work so will have to wait  :cuss 

Have to put some of my more recent pictures up - I keep on forgetting to stop and take them once I am in the riding groove.

That's a great write up Gavo. Great Pics. The Close up photo was a tad scary, I might need therapy for that one.

Love ya bike. Mantastic colour. Not like the anaemic white ones that you see.
