Hi Turtle,
Well that does look sweet, I do notice though , that nobody will be able to accuse you of  having or carrying the hump around  because you have the seat mod on that lovely new  ride. Good luck with it.
Is the manual that you found for the police model or is it the standard civilian version.
Cheers , Winston66

White is right!  You've just got 200 to many ccs.  But a nice looking bit of kit, looks in great condition.

Very glad it arrived at your place Turtle.  And happy to have had a part in your acquiring it.
I can confirm it's in top nick.  Handles nearly as well as the Candy Glory Red one I know so well.
Purists may laugh, but I find my GiPro gear indicator very helpful.
You might put up the name of the company who transported it for you, since they appear to have done a sterling job.  They picked it up from the seller's place, a fair way out of the city and delivered it apparently without a scratch right across the country for just over a grand.

Well done and congratulations  :clap It looks a little different in the picture to the last white one (Abe) we had visit us here   :whistle  :whistle


His was just a little sleepy after a big day out I guess  :popcorn



Pockey  :wink1

Spitting image of my bike, only I have a few farkles added. Love the white Police bikes, Biggles will never admit it, but they're very much faster you know! :wink1

Nice pick up  :thumb

Everyone knows that white ones can only go faster when they have a blue light on them  >:()  :grin

Post by: Couch on December 19, 2013, 10:07:55 PM
I must admit, there are times I wish I had a blue light, and a siren, and the badge to go with them :law we probably all wish that at times.......if only!!

The number of times I sit at the lights watching lassies playing with their phones, then leaving several car lengths before starting off...     :well

I'm afraid I'm anal about driving- you're there to do a job: transport yourself efficiently.  The prevailing attitude seems to be that being in the driver's seat of a car is much like being in a coffee shop or sitting by the pool.  It's a casual affair that doesn't require a lot of attention or effort.

 And that's why so many people get killed on Australian roads, inattention, not speed, as our law enforcement officers would like us to beiieve! :-(((
