Yeah, awesome picture!

Isn't the tax disc meant to be on the left side of the bike though?

Chris

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

No idea about  which side it should be, was on that side when I bought it. I've removed it now anyway, the red colour was slowing it down :)

Pic was all done and edited on my iphone.

Good pic
But the tax disk is a new one on me (dont think thats right ) -- not, not on the right - but not right as in its not right that it has to be on the left. If I am right.

Depends on how you look at it....from behind (snigger) its on the right........from the front its on the left.....who says its from behind or the front to determine whether its right or left

Is it not bad enough to have to display it at all, let alone being told where to display it - I always was under the impression that it was just 'displayed' and that would do.

Roll on October, no more tax disc.

I'm sure it was so that if the bike was parked next to the pavement, facing in the direction of the flow of the flow of traffic, then the tax disc could be seen without standing in the road to look at it. Hence why it's in the passenger side of the windscreen on a car.

A quick google search throws up this:

http://www.nidirect.gov.uk/car-tax-rules

About quarter of the way down this page^^ in the display tax disc section it says that it should be on the left hand side/kerb side of the motorcycle.

Chris

P.S. Just to be clear, I couldn't care less where anyone wants to display their tax disc but it's good to know the facts. As you say, won't need to do it for much longer anyway!  :D

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

It's not rocket science, disc displayed nearside, but I don't really think being offside will affect the ride performance but may confuse some thieving b'stard :)

Mine just out of the garage after some work. Most recent mod is a Poly 26 fairing. I managed to break the other one by dropping a big piece of steel tube onto it when tidying the garage. I'd repaired it before so bit the bullet this time and actually shelled out some cash!. Other mods are Delkevic can and downpipes, Fazer 1000 rear caliper and mirrors, braided lines and wavy disc on back and Aeromax d/b screen.

Rear rack on about five minutes after the pic was taken! I had literally just put it all back together. Fairing took a bit of fitting but I like it and it's a bit different. Going for the black/silver look for the bike, but can't decide whether to experiment with some chrome look vinyl highlights for the plastics, or a bit of a speedblock effort.

They are all looking really nice folks. As Noggy says, it looks like there has been plenty of winter fettling and everyone is now chomping at the bit for some decent weather so we can all give them a nice airing  8) I know I am. I have withdrawal symptoms  :\
