Hmm, that image doesn't work for me.
I get a grey 'no entry' image instead. Is it available for everyone to view?

I can't see it Rich.

I can see it in the post Rich.

Did Shay share with you as an individual, but not made it completely public?

No, it just shows up in the post. No special consideration  :)

Ditto. I imagine it's because of... litter bugs. (I've no idea, just follow Rae's guide!)

Line round a grey box is all I see here?
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Middle bolt at the bottom of the side fairing looks a little pinched but otherwise as nice a GT as one could ever want to come across.

Well spotted. Also I think they forgot to use a plumb line when they built those walls. NHBC?

I think you'll find they did and it's a trick of the lens. Let's face it they have been (mainly) standing for centuries...

I am not sure what it is about this time of year, apart from it being my birthday month but I always seem to change bike about now. This time 5 years ago I picked up the K12GT from Rae and I have been looking at what was on the eBay and other places for a few weeks - this particular bike went up a couple of times so I made a bid, contacted the seller and we have struck a deal.

Payment processing and working on the courier as we speak! Cant wait :)

Now I have to also decide what to do with the K12 - the market for them here is not great :( so it might go back across the water!

Nice! Like the pod on the rear too.

Is that boot-shaped one a clutch protecting bit of carbon?
