My Bike

Post by radddogg »

So now I've accepted the offer from the finance company I can look towards putting my bike right and how I want it.

I'm going for a Rossi look.

To make it so I can still use it I'm going to a bit at a time so this week end I fitted my Scorpion, removed the pegs and sprayed the pillion white.

My new exhaust. I had to put the DB killer back in as it is way too loud. Although it was fun setting off car alarms

Image


I'm gonna have to touch the panels up as they both sagged after lacquering.


Image


More sagging here. Luckily I think I can get away with touching them up on the bike.


Image


And this is what it looks like at the moment.

But...... it's a 125.

It's kind of on a par with bodykits on a 1.2 corsa dude. :sorry:

Yes, I know a 125 is quick compared to a lot of cars, but a 1.2 corsa is quick compared to a pushbike, or walking. Doesn't make it right.
