    Looks like a fun day out on the bike, @Dartplayer! :cool: Yep, any excuse for a ride. ;) What a good mix of bikes, and a few cool cars mixed in there too I noticed. Thanks for sharing the photos!

    It's nice to see so many bikes in one place at a time. I haven't seen anything like that this whole year. :( No rallies, no toy parades, no bike nights… Hopefully 2021 turn that around!

    Absolutely nothing about bike but does the Lego millennium Falcon count?
    Finished and installed on the new stand!

    I made a load of Lego models with my son including the millennium Falcon... very therapeutic, they are all in various sized chunks now, following being played with and dropped... but he had fun with them

    I wish my son was interested (in bike and lego) but nah.
    Nice moments for you and you clearly still remember them so clearly great ones!
    I had "lego thumb" (as we called it) after 2 weeks but enjoyed every bit of it. 7,500 pieces.

    2 weeks ish.
    Not solid time but 4 hrs here, 6 hrs there (on rainy Saturdays/Sundays) and a few mistakes which needed rectification as you can’t ignore them.
    Loved it.

    Legos AND motorcycles! :):heart: I've never done the Legos thing before but I admit this does look kind of fun.

    I've not had an ADV/Tourer before and am very much loving it so far :)

    Bit of minor fiddling with my DRZ400e before putting up for sale. This is the desirable e model with plastic tank, flat side carb and lumpy cam - still under 3000 miles from new too.

    Just a good clean and refitting of the rear light and surround after it getting knocked during the last green laning. Should finish it off tomorrow and list it hopefully.

    Struggling to get pictures to upload...standby...

    Cheers and you're right, most of these are very well used, it took me a while before this one came up and I bought it the same day it was listed without even going to see it. The sale of this will cover most of the gap between the trade in of the Ducati on the new Thruxton RS.

    That's just the graphic, not the tank. They were a total bastard to get on, if it wasn't for green laning I'd have replaced them but they serve the purpose which is to protect the plastics from scratches. £70 to replace the whole kit.

    Hi, yep, I have fitted paint protection as you mention, my Ducati has the full kit. I didn't bother with this one as the tank part is full of perforations and so I thought I wouldn't need to. Weirdly all the non-perforated bits went on fine - dry. The instructions also didn't mention using a solution either. Lesson learned. I wasn't that bothered tbh as its a cheap kit and it is protecting the plastics. I only replaced the original one because the last owner had peeled part of the tank graphic off and I wanted to protect the tank from abrasion. The next owner can do it, I can't be arsed, in the flesh it's immediately obvious that it's the graphic and not the tank. This has been handy though as I will mention it in the add. Cheers.

    I've never done Lego, but I did one of these metal thingy's a while back. It was fun.
