I know what you mean Rae but it's taken me 18 months to get the original picture on the Old Gits web site! It needs me, at home, with my computer with time. Getting all three together is proving difficult. :D I'll see what I can do!

Howzat. Mine is the one with the Sargent seat.

That is a lovely pic!
I count 11.

Maybe we should arrange a UK photoshoot - and get as many Ks in a picture as possible.

27 in the group alltogether. 11 Ks  and 3 of the latest Motorsports. I think the favourite tyre was the PR3.

I think you will find it is the plain Grey ( off white ) bikes that are fastest. ( Funilly enough the same as my bike to the left of Tom's in the picture )

They are so fast, all the stickers got blown off !

My bike is that slow that I never even get noticed which is the way I like it.

You have a bike? I thought you merely levitated and swam through the air... :)
