I'll stick with it awhile and see how it goes, I do like the early seats with the chrome trim around the base though. The bonnie is running fine but I did notice that where the ignitions keys dangle and flap around, some of the black paint has rubbed away in that area, I wonder if anybody knows where I might get a touch up paint to match?
Try e bay if not get the code and talk to your local mend em Mend em guy they can match any colour as long as they have a code, even bikes
Shed a couple of stones?? Noooooo!! Your clothes will only fit where they touch and you'll look as slack as a bag of knackers!!
They might even match that. I managed to get a small tin off my local lad for a tenner. They know all the tricks of covering up scratches sometimes the are more than happy to help you out
On the paint thing....... Iv only had this bike a few weeks, when I gave her a proper clean and polish I noticed black insulation tape on the downtubes and front frame plate. Oh dear I thought as I peeled it off!! but it was like brand new under the tape. Last owner I salute you. So the tapes back on and you realy don't notice it. Has any one herd of this before??
It is a good one , there are some fabulous bikes turn up , lots of classics, I've even seen a Vincent black shadow there , also lots of 70's jap bikes show up , there's four or five rd350lc's often come as a group & quite a few old zed's . the Plough is a decent pub too , LOVERLY bike btw , I think I would keep the K&Q too
The image suddenly implanted in my mind is bordering on the unpleasant!! We have a full length mirror in the bedroom, so I know personally of your problem! SWMBO simply looks away in disgust and disdain! Once upon a time I had (more or less) a six-pack! Now it's a Party Seven!! Be kind to your bum, Bob!! (What was that an advert for??) Nowt wrong wi' a bit of comfort!
