Thruxton Post your Thruxton pics here

I'm kind of hoping that the police will view it in a similar vain to how they will view a non legal plate, I'll see how it goes.

I bought the LED strip from eBay. I've actually ordered a new one that is 12" long (currently 8"). I bought 2 for about £10.

My mate who's a MOT tester has exactly the same set up on his 'hand built' cafe racer. He has been pulled numerous times and simply pulls out a copy of the MOT testers guide lines on number plate's. Theres so much ambiguity in the regulations he's never been done.

 

........well, the accumulated brownie points got me the factory heated grips for Christmas......fabulous addition to the bike, IMO every bike from new should, by law, have them fitted.....but sadly they never stretched to the fly screen......

......but then I spotted that Forum member Mach 1 had a flyscreen going cheap off of his new T120 he did not want......after contacting him he actually sent me the screen and brackets for free, said nobody was interested in buying it....''I cannot even give it away'' he told me......what a gent....and in return I sent him postage, some extra 'beer tokens' and a brand new tank pad I had that fitted his T120. The mounting brackets are slightly different from the T120 to the Thruxton but nothing an hour in the shed making a couple of simple brackets didn't sort out.....once again Mach1, many thanks,

Cheers, dickydido

 

Great pics zad,

So good, I wish I could see them all over again

 

Ha hah. Why is it that you get the urge to press send twice just in case.

 

It was genuinely worth it mate.

I love that colour scheme. Beautiful

 

Here's a couple of mine.

Aint ridden it since January & I'm missing it!

 

...must say, I'm tempted by those short LED indicators.

Hmmmm.

 

Those pics weren't taken in Jan you wee monkey!

 

Hmmmmm!

 

They were actually taken in May the day I picked it up, but I happened to mention I haven't touched it since last month.

Jeez Eagle Eye Crispey, I'd have to get up early in the morning to catch you out

 

....Anyway, what's the story with your front end?

 

Crispey just giving it the Sunday clean.
So how many clues gave away that it was not January..???????...

 

The biggest giveaway is the lack of feckin piles of wet salt at the verge bloody gritters grrrr.

 

I was just thinking summer weeds, or they might be flowers, iam no gardener!!!!!

 

Not only lack of salt, abundance of greenery but also the lack of shadow length showing the sun is quite high.

 

180 miles on mine today. Thank god I had heated grips fitted.

 

Been there, done that, in warmer climes mind, but aren't there some great roads to get there and back?!

 

Are they the factory heated grips?
