it aint changed mate, the other day two chav little ****s broke into my robin reliant, although picked the wrong time as my dad went out and caught them.. the tool they used to do it was huge though.. must of stolen that too... cant lock my reliant up now as they have ****ed the doors... and the ignition wont turn either...:shooter

Thing is nobody would dare touch our bikes, we are well known for our bikes round there.. and they know we wont tolerate anyone touching them.. worse trouble we have had is the 'little kids' and i mean these are like 7 tops.. keep shoving stones up our exhausts.. they've stopped now.. after we had words.. nothing like seeing a lil kid blubbing :D lil ****ers:D


Oh and jedi, i wasnt posting up to show you, it was to show off the bike, post up your gixxer.. see how different it is to everyone elses.. oh wait.. its not.:grin2 no sense of personality some people.:laugh2

I KNOWW!:shooter i didnt put that on there.. the previous owner did! its the one thing that is wrong with the bike.. but the pad does its job.. i have another.. but its a crappy paper one..:( not much of a 'tank pad' is it. Maybe ill just cut out the 'S' or make it into a '8'.. cant be advertising the enemy now can i!?:grin2

And the seats are mega comfy.. like a throne.. you can sit on them for hours on end and your ass still wont be numb! ;)

Course nowadays I have a hardened, scarred, leather like bum thanks to the Africa Twin's plank like seat and the 100 miles a day round trip to work.

Sell me your seat Tooey!!!!!!

My mate had a gelpad in a special holder on his Triumph tiger when we were on our way to Plymouth, then Brittany. When he went to the toilet in the motorway services we filled it full of stones from the flower beds. He never even bloody noticed.
