ahh, do we have an expat living in west london??
to answer you, no it's not a DOCQ show, it's a EUROTWINS show that bevan puts on once a year, he looks after my bikes well so i'm happy to enter it. (winning best in show helps too)

paul.

Yes, I'm from Brisbane. I grew up on the Gold Coast but lived the last 5 or so years before moving to London in Brisbane. Although I was all over the place before that having been in the Army. I've still got a house in Coorparoo.

Do you know Morgs? Has he patched his 888 back together yet?

Paul, I am never letting you see my bike. It is a piece of crap to look at. It's graceously scratched fairings, stone chips, and general worn appearance, are not for your eyes. You will just have to settle for looking at my tail light and rear tyre.

I tend to agree with what fred say's except the undertrays, I made one up that followed the lines of the subframe gets rid of that horrible original one and cleans the lines of the rear beautifully. I had to have the mini indicators
no where to bolt the originals!!

Got any pics,the undertray is an eyesore.

In the classic car / bike world you would describe it as
'' showing a fine patina, commensurate with its age and racing pedigree''

I agree eric, one day I will attempt to post some pics as I now have access to a digital camera, but getting them from the camera to the computer to this site is another thing!!

Phil,
You are a gentleman and a man of great understanding. And obviously a member of WEWKRA. (Wide Eyed and White Knuckles Riders Association)
