Morning  All
well, after virtually a Year of being sat in the garage unloved...  (due to other stuff just happening) i went to a bike show yesterday and parked up...  My dear ole 14 won best Streetfighter..

I was about to leave too as i was knackered so it was a complete surprise.  Steve Parrish was the judge and said it was lovely....!!!

Thanks guys...
i must admit i was a little chuffed...  its literally sat in the garage while i mull over what to do with it...  it was looking a bit dull and unloved so i bought some Autosol and did a few hours with a cloth. got more on myself than on the bike!!

Ive just done 2600 miles in 5 days on my GTR1400 on a tour in Italy so i was REALLY not wanting to look at a bike for a few days but.. i set to work and tadaaaaaa  my 1st every trophy thing.  i haddnt even thought about any prize or being serious ..  you know, just parked it up..

i might have a little renewed energy to get it a bit fettled now.... 

i was really 99% sure i was going to sell it. !

You have every right to be a bit chuffed.
Well done Stoli  :onya:

It often takes others to make us appreciate some of the wonderful things we have. After I sold my 14, I often looked back with regret. Now I am proud to have another one, cherishing it more than the first. The 14s are definitely not your everyday bike, as witnessed by the comments of many "lookers".

Result ! Well done.

Not long ago someone I didn't know walked up to me and told me (completely apropos of nothing) "You'll never win any trophies with that mate, not with a GPS mount on it".

It had just parked in a car park, not at a show !  Odd.  :lol:

HAHA....  you've the wrong end of the stick bud. :lol:
Do you have Peperami sausages there?  Well he's called "Fanimal".  a few years back Peperami did a Web Competition for the Footy-Ball something or other and the prize was a Fanimal.  so that's what it is

Fanimal - Peperami -  the tag line is "its a bit of an Animal" on the adverts so i thought it was perfect for the 14 - as its a bit of an animal
