Everyone on here seems to have mint exups with perfect paint jobs :(
I'm ashamed to post a pic of mine on here....its got a crappy paintjob, grease and
oil stains,dead bugs everywhere, and I notice that almost every piece of plastic
has cracked in the last few months (most recently the plastic bit that houses the fuel reserve switch).

I think abUSED is the word wot you're digging for Stig. My son came up with a classic line
yesterday. He said "when u bought the bike it had two fat chicken strips on each side
of the back tyrpe....why has it got 1 chicken strip down the middle now?"

Mine looks rough too. Crashed, rebuilt, abused. Not bothered if it looks a bit rough as long as it goes well.

Not mine mate !!!!

My bike was a state when i got her. Sat in some blokes garden for ages, all rusted up etc.
She runs fine now and all the suspension, brakes etc are all sorted. Still looks a dog though. :lol:
The final thing is a paint job but no matter what you do to your bike........it'll still look shite until it's got a new lick o paint.
