Blanco Nero had it's first valet with the almighty Nooj yesterday. Fitted new throttle cables, a new solenoid, and soldered up the LED's and resistors at the back end. Checked the rectifier, and no signs of cooking (yet)

The amount of mud that was washed off behind the radiators was epic!

You need to wash that muck off your screen :) or have you just run someone over?

Where is the hugger?

I'm jealous, nice bike and it even has a fairing nooj. All I get is spiders.

THAT is a cracking piece of design and vision.

Well done.

That is a cracking bike and lovely paintjob. when I stare at it from the side view I can't help thinking something is missing. Its not much but possibly just needs something to lift the wheels, could be needs them in a different colour or even something as simple as some thin white rim tape
But is still 1 very eyecatching piece of kit

I'm not that keen on rim tape, but I agree a white rim tape strip might bring out the wheels slightly.

Not slating the bike at all, I love it anyway.

Without wishing to come over as a pedant, strictly speaking it should be bianco nero. Blanco is Spanish. Doesn't make the bike any less nice mind.

Nothing wrong with that I only opted for that because I was being lazy,and didn't want it to sound like a drink

Unless of course he was using Nero as a noun in which case it would be fine ... Just saying like ;)

If you're being fussy it's actually Nero bianco 2, the Nero bianco has the white and black the otherway round
