Thank you.

I love 'em too - lucky finding a local polisher to do them, he did a great job.

Looks great - especially those wheels.

Was that pic from yesterday's Italian bike fest in Lincolnshire?
I had hoped to go but the Mrs is away for the weekend so I was dumped with the weekly supermarket shop ..... then there was a hedge to cut and an oven to clean - oh what a fun day. Still as the sun never bothered to show up, I didn't miss as nice a day as I might have.

Certainly was, great day. More Italian bikes than Buells, i suspect.

320 miles for me and the Falco was faultless all day.
