End of an era
#21
A friend of mine has a Tiger 955i. Pretty smart looking, although the stickers on the left side of the tank are bubbling despite her best efforts to eliminate them. It's a big, comfy bike. When her son gets his VFR800 de-restricted, he's going to have to start hiding his keys!!  :lol :lol

Yeah the tigers do that, the petrol fumes seep through the plastic and bubbles the paint.

He's taking the piss (I think). The bubbly paint on my friend's tank is due to condensation - the bike was kept on the sidestand in a cold garage. And with all the rain we've had this winter, humidity levels have been horrific.

Fair enough, I withdraw my "taking the piss" comment. There's no odour of petrol around my friend's 955i, and the bubbling is only on one side. I guess the jury's still out on that one....
