...until you multiply them by the speed of light squared. Then all lives energy.

This is what it looked like before I started on it

Looks great Paul - is that a seat I would find comfortable?  :) Oberon fuel cap? I just got one in blue - great taste !! :)
The older I get the better I was
The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

Paulpmy

You would find it extremely comfortable Geoff
I'll give them a ring tomorrow to see if they do it in little lad size lol

Campbell's custom exhaust sidewinder - dare I ask how much?  :)

The MOT laws are changing soon, you might find your bike will fail as HIDs will be illegal on bikes, check with your local MOT workshop.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

That's looking real tasty.  :clapping:

Where in France did you get the seat?
If you are going to run out of fuel, do it in your garage.

It's only a short walk to the kettle.
