Just bought this old beauty to do as another piece for my man room mainly and for more practise on curved surfaces; watch this space, starting as soon as it arrives :)

A steal at £9 and it fits

Before re-painting it in pearl matt white/cream i decided to have a go with the eld Sharpie's, not bad in my opinion, need lots more practise on fonts and also eat breakfast- hand is very shaky ffs.

You need to cut down on wanking if your hand is shakey.

Forgot i never posted what happened to this lid, went a different direction after a close friend bought a H2R, he managed to not only write the bike off but also break his neck before i got this to him.

Is that not what its called? The supercharged chrome looking kwak? Anywho it were up Yorkshire way, bike was a write off.
He’s alright now i hear, metal plates galore.
Another friend did a similar number on his 16 plate R1, Jordan, he was a mess for about a year, seen him playing golf this summer! No way i’d have been as lucky.

I might well be wrong as not up on sports bike models, but believe the H2R is the 300bhp non road legal one, with the H2 a road legal 'only' 200ish bhp one

Crashing ain't good

Is he paralysed or anything?

Both alright strangely. I’d have definitely crumbled way before impact.
