    Is that an anodised tank to get that extreme red bling?

    I'm not sure - its a factory paint job - but I always assumed it was a metallic paint. Very metallic.

    Its a definite orange, by the way, although in photos the colour can be a bit deceptive.

    Been out today on Trixie for a 120 kms brisk bimble. While out picked up a new Chromebook for Mrs Biglad. Virtual brownie points awarded - but that was 2 hours ago ???????

    I think brownie points are to be regarded as "discretional". That's what I was told anyway.:(

    I have NO idea what you mean Eric.....................................

    Looking forward to seeing you in July. I decided to make it a 3 week tour of the UK to see friends and family and doing a bit of touristy stuff.

    Definitely need a night out in Leeds and a curry in Bradford.

    Well it's lucky I didn't see this, otherwise you would have been receiving my sound advice o_O, but you made your decision without any help from me so I will keep my opinion to myself :no_mouth:;):p

    Well, good for you, DD, for looking at lots of information and data and thinking it through. But then going with your heart--and the seat of your pants! :) I think lots of vehicle decisions, be they motorcycle or car--come down to gut and heart. :heart:

    Totally get where you are coming from on this DD, I felt the same when I rode a mates BMW S1000R, very fast, very capable, did everything well ... too refined, didn't like it :confused:, told my mate my feelings & described it as a bit 'beige' :eek:

    He had the arse at the time, but only kept it another couple of months before buying an Aprilia RSV4 Tuono which he said has more soul! :p

    Today the old Honda CB700 after 10 years of ownership has gone to a new owner down sarf.

    Time to start thinking about taking the dust sheets off another classic bike and get it on the road :)
