Yep, they are mine and Dave's.

I was out on a RoSPA lesson and went to the carosel for a coffee, Dave had just got there too.

His was like a bit of Bling ! good.gif

I have spent two days cleaning that bike, it was in a hell of a state after Germany.

But it looks better than new.

Dave's bike is always like that, I think he is touched with the OCD brush.

Well suns out, better go and clean the bike after yesterday ride, the fairing got a fly splat. ranting.gif

Enjoying the weather, it's riding weather not cleaning weather. 320 miles to Keilder and back brilliant roads, great weather and very little traffic. Only downside is that you could record an episode of Naturewatch on my screen.
