Being lazy and leaving it to to others I feel its not my place to comment----------- but I will, i think the union flag in the background either needs to be droped from the design or it needs to be seen more as it just looks like some stripes around the edge. 

So so far we have a flip out mug holder and a FOC badge holder

Glasse are an arse indeed but at least I can ride with my visor open without risk of getting a pidgin in my eye

So soon our £14 alloy tax disk holders will be redundant.
Any ideas what we can do with them- re use as

Sorry but I dont like the phrase "changing out" or swaped out as it is a stupid american thing along the lines of "can I get" er ---no its could I have
Anyway limax is right about the flat on the footrest boss that locates with a flat in the aluminium and it could be that its rounded a bit - but it would also have to be loose to spin. From memory thew alen bolt at the back is about 10mm - it is big I know that and has factory blue thread lock on it which makes for it very tight, I had to hold it in a vice to undo it when I polished up the gear change arm and stuff.

I think the BBC are the worst for it as im sure that they have an whole army (pun) of poppyers whos sole job it is to make sure every single person appearing HAS to wear one.

This was my stand before and after powdercoat, luckily I got it sorted before bad corrosion set in.

How much was the powdercaot.
And from the top looking down (bit we cant see in your pictures) is it hollow so we can get some sort of waxoil or acf50 down there to protect inside.
And is that spring new or cleaned up.
And how easy or not is the stand to get on and off.
I am so doing mine this year, I have kept it touched up and dont ride in the wet but its still going rusty.

Can we have a picture
Is it rusting from the inside or just outside, the reason I ask for extra info is the mine too is 15 years old and want to see exactly where yours went so I want to pay that area a bit of TLC on mine. Going to take it off and clean up and respray

he ran into me, and then I restrained him. As my statement made clear 

 

I am reminded of that ring of red around the m25 --- that was never going to work and if it did it would never be seen from a helicopter high enough to get it all in.
Now if the same was done at a Race track with organised ride ins from all over like the Brackly air ambulance I think that would be a great success and being the great war anniversary this year also I think would work.
And then the picture from the helicopter could be sold to all of those taking part

My biggy.
Friday 13th Sept 1999. Riding my Bandit (yes I know) back from badminton in the twilight. Pulled into the right filter lane ready to turn right into a side road. Suddenly headlights in my offside mirror, I'm being overtaken! Wallop, get hit at speed from behind, me and bike do somersaults. I land on the ground, bike lands next to me with a jet of oil coming out of the engine casing.
I crawl to the kerb, leg a bleeding mess but otherwise all in one piece. Bike in a terrible state. Traffic all stops and a police car pulls up to check I'm OK and tells me I've been hit by some joyriders being chased by the police.
So there I am sitting on the kerb with everybody fussing around me when I see a fat copper chasing two yoofs back my way. He can only catch one, so I cross the road and stand in the other one's way. I've still got my armoured jacket and gloves on. He tries a karate kick but his chin meets the front of my glove. Down he goes and I kneel on his back until the meat wagon arrives and they throw him in the back.
Result - Bandit written off, bruises and bleeding but compensation, 9 months at Her Majesty's pleasure for the perpetrator
Lessons learned - Sometimes there's just nothing you can do about it. Don't let the bastards get away with it. When your Bandit's written off, buy a Fazer   

Woww this tale is just a roller coaster --- being hit like that and then getting the oppo to punch one them in the face !!!. (if only every time you could)
So they had no insurance but were being chased) or followed as the police perfer to say ) how did you get a claim or whatever
Oh and I hope you wre comming from Badminton the place and not the game !!

I would do it the other way around.
I go my specks on lind and tried loads with my current helmet

My mum remembered the V1 rockets flying over (doodlebugs) she said that it was fine as long as you could hear the engine put-putting because when it stopped -- thats when it came down
