The second on is that the rear reflector might be missing, unless the rear reflector is built into the rear lamp, I which case I'm wrong.

Nice bike though and a credit to its owner.

When can you come round and clean mine for me Wesley?

Talking about RFR's - I've just come back fom Corfu - looking at the state of some of the mopeds/scoots out there they must be exempt just about everything !!!!

:shock:

In true Brit fashion I got up in anticipation of a few hours out on the Gixxer - but its raining of course.

Oi ! this is the "Off topic" area. So leave your testers manual at the door.

Ok there is one obvious RFR , but what is the other one then "Hawkeye" ?

"Tonight" while driving on a Housing Estate and signalling to turn right, some "Cock" decided to overtake :shock:

.

Luckily for "Him" I have previous Riding experience along with a little common sense and a tad of Road Manners and awareness of Other Inconsiderate Road Users

Thus preventing the ashphalt from suffering that awful Red Fluid spilling all over its lovely surface!

"Jim" I can see where your mrs is coming from.

My common sense and Early signalling Is appreciated by many bikers, and often get a toot of appreciation, when they pass.

However, there will always be a "Mr Richard Head", I beleive his mates call him "Dick"?

Make the most of your kids while they still want to be seen with you!

My Daughter who is 7 like to come out on the bike with me, I imagine that will change when she gets a bit older. current wife has a full bike licence too, but at the moment she does not have a road bike. Wife and daughter both have dirt bikes though and my son who is 5 has a Quad, so it must be in the blood.

Always tricky with kids etc. and a business to run.

Are you anywhere near Manchester?

Always looking for someone to have a run-out with.

Kev

Nowhere near Manchester Kev, I'm up in the northeast
