Ah sorry, I'm in the middle of food poisoning and it seems to have impacted my brain function :(.

I say we run educational courses to reaffirm the rules we all knew/know.

Anyway yeah my brain is broken!

Surely, and I know you all know this, you NEVER ride line astern, especially in towns and at low speed because you just do not have any manoeuvering capability when it goes tits up and it always will at some point. End of lecture.

Excellent. That looks quite the part!

You'll have to move those R&G protectors over though.
And is the screen different?

What I find is that it's amazing how fast you (well - I) fall out of love with the old bike - even though it's a perfectly good ride.

It's a V-Stream screen on the red one I also have the original. I have ordered new crash bungs as the old ones got scuffed. The bugs are on back order so I might transfer the old ones temporarily.

That looks well impish in all red. You rarely notice the little horns on the black one but they stand out like, well, impish horns on the red one. Looks like a totally different bike.

I'd call that a result Rae, especially given the circumstances.

You can buy the crash bung plastic bits separately and just keep the mounting hardware.

I have looked on R&G site and all I can find is a section that says ring for spares.
