Just a few tweaks to get it running :-) ........got a bit carried away !!! XS650 Makeover

[lchris21]

Cheers all it was nice to get it out after the weather we've had lately

Sounds great, some serious pot holes on that road

yeah well spotted.....typical local council..............the remnants of disused Pot Noodle Mines most of them

Well done getting it up and running on the road, I still don't like the no front mudguard thing though. Alright till it rains while you are out

ha i'll take my chances.......went through a few puddles......the fresh spray in your face wakes you up a bit

10 mins well spent here...Rant if i may? why don't people take home there litter from the countryside that Vista point is foul with rubbish

its terrible up there, and since lockdown its got worse...........absolutely disgusting, i report it every time im up there....

Pure stupidity and a bad attitude, end of.

stiffer penalties in my opinion, but we'll leave that discussion for another thread

I like it without the front mudguard and will be running mine without it

 

[julianthegypsy]

Beautiful. Nothing else I can say really!

@lchris21 is right, since they’ve reopened all the Macca Ds during lockdown it seems no one want to take their rubbish home.
Was only saying to Mrs Exuptoy the other day they should stamp the boxes with the car reg somehow when you order, that way fines could be issued!

That's a really good idea, print their names and addresses on would be really good. I sometimes feel like picking it all up and dumping it in their doorway. If you can carry it while it's full you can carry it empty to a bin.

Nearly 2 years since the last update.
And after 2 years waiting...Cinderella eventually made it to the ball. Some pics from Bikeshed show London 2022 held last weekend. Some incredible bikes on show, honoured and privileged that mine made the grade. Absolutely exhausting 3 days, but met some great people, and the bike was well received.
Glad to get out of the big city though....3 days enough for anyone

View attachment 349444I'm impressed! I thought there were a limited number of ways you could ruin a bike, and he's found a whole new way of doing it. What a horrifying monstrosity!
