Perverted?

#1 Post by k1w1boy » Tue Oct 19, 2010 7:02 pm

... Anyone else think falcos look sexy without their screens? In anticipation of the replacement for my tatty, chav-shattered one, I removed it and am guiltily enjoying the windrush and overlook above the trim panel. The front looks more aggressive with just the mirrors and steeply sloping nose after my dark-smoked double bubble. Looking forward to my 'smoked' standard new one. Snot like I needed the DB with my average height anyway lol

Don't think anybody has ever actually removed it totally for road use.
Obviously the famous "Hacksaw Man" took off half of his screen, with his favourite tool at that time!
Sadly I actually like the Dark Double Bubble, so wont be changing mine!
Good luck!

First Hacksaw Man; now, Jacksaw Man!

That was brave, Paddy; I know too well how easily these plastics can crack/shatter

... Maybe. Bike is running well with the yuasa battery, brakes sorted, and new rear tyre. Falling in love again despite the long resident crumpled can and tatty plastics. Sort my visa now and start planning the Easter trip to Budapest! May even finally upgrade the shock ...

Bloody hell that latest video from Paddy got me nervous, was just praying the saw wouldn't slip and run along that nicely painted tank! :smt009
Was hoping he would stop and put an old blanket over the tank, just in case.
You're braver than me mate!
