Stunning pics.

Excellent photos - and you have an unfeasibly shiny Falco there.

You are only jealous because I attract the younger falco owners
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

In light of the gritted roads we're likely to get at the weekend, i'd just coated most of my metal parts in ACF50.
Trivia:
What make and model front tyre am i currently running?

Nice looking bike mate
Good pics as well, they straight out the camera or did you play about with them? they've got a bit of a colour cast (a bit yellow), but it gives the pics a bit of an ambience

Fluorescent lights are notoriously difficult to photgraph things under. Especially as one tube can have a different spectral response to another. Looks like the editing software has coped pretty well with the whole bike pics, but has gone a tad yellow on the close-ups. Still looks bloody good though.

The close ups do have a more yellow tint. I shot RAW then tweaked in Darktable. I left the white balance, as that was closest to how the bike looked under the light in the car park, which was very yellow.
The lighting was pretty dim and as i don't have a tripod these were taken hand held at 200 iso (didn't want to risk the noise at higher settings) - i'm lucky they aren't blurry.

Very nice looking bike there Mr ! Darn good pics too. Maybe time I bought another camera as my dog is now a bit older and might not eat the next one
