It rode like a shopping trolley with a wonky castor :smt010

1. The belly pan goes under the motorcycle. :smt002

Yes I know the belly pan goes on the bottom of the bike, but in its current configuration it won't, the oil tank is 2 fat.

Also the top screen and dashboard mount is twisted, I might well take a trip to Bracknell to get it sorted.

Indeed!

You could then try circulating the M25, popping up the M11 and dropping by here for a coffee, with the seat for the Zed on the back :smt002 :smt001

Good to see youre out on the bike again. I wouldve hated to see you bin it and never ride it again. Bikes should be loved.. after all you do enter into a relationship with them. It'd have been sat there feeling unloved, lonely and unwanted. A tad unfair!

So is young 'un going to take it?

You need a Falco oil tank rather than the Mille one (now that you're back to twin exhausts).

Glad to hear you're planning another ride-out :smt003

I'll not have another rideout with it removed, I'll put it in the car boot.

And yes I think he wants it, (well 200+ miles should convince him)
