    Hi Folks

    Bones here from Surrey.

    Picked up a luuurvley Thruxton the other day from Carl Rosner over in Croydon.
    Ive been 'between' bikes for the past ten years having last ridden an R6.
    WOW love this bike. Looks amazing, goes like stink & handles superbly.

    Ive always loved vintage stuff as well as the more modern but as time has progressed ( Im 56 ) my eyes have wandered more to vintage/retro stuff.

    My Thruxton is standard but I want to put my own stamp on it and pimp it up a bit. Nothing to outrageous, just subtle stuff. I will be looking for advise on parts and suppliers ! I think the first thing to do is swap out the rear mudguard and light cluster !

    I will also be looking for rides out ( with more sedate riders lol)

    Cheers folks

    Bones
