Yeah - and it does look good (honestly) .... might be just the thing to have when I hit my 70s

..... given the Hawkwind theme so far (your Sig ... my username) I hope the next person will contribute accordingly ...

ahh - 'tis a nice looking bike

but

as gio once said, its not a falco - but:

Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights,
And if I can't be wrong I could be right

(I would still possibly have one though - as a second back up touring bike!)

I will let my sig do the talking....

I have a mate with a bike exactly the same as that.

Where'd you get the luggage from and how much?

I haven't seen many of these in the flesh (Timson's dad had one on our first ride out three years ago...... what happened to Timson?). Recently one has passed me a couple of times on the M62 and I must say its a striking bike on the move. Like your colour.

i thaught the luggage was standard with those machines.

Most Futs came with luggage as standard. If you know someone who's after a set, I do have a spare pair of panniers.

It's changed a bit since that pic was taken; replaced the nasty after-market screen with a standard one, and there's a nice shiny NWS Silver Ghost hugger going on this weekend, after the tyres have been replaced. Thinking of fitting silver radiator protectors as well. Or is that overdoing the silver theme?

Nice and clean - with an aftermarket can peeking out...?

Mile muncher, VFR with added character.

The cans are Staintunes, with an H-pipe replacing the collector; I don't really think they offer much of a performance advantage over the standard system (really needs a PCIII to get the most out of them), but they sure sound better.

Thanks for the nice comments.

careful mart - you are getting the modding disease.....
