Ha haa, youre not trying unless you're getting sparks Erny. Loving the style, fantastic shots once again.

There's an old saying that it's "Not the bike that makes a great rider but the 'nut behind the stock!" Hope that translates and you get my meaning. ;)

Keep em coming mate ;) ;D

I ground the end of my main stand lug in a chamfer, I was a bit insane when I was younger. On corners I could feel my feet being pushed up as the footrests were being pushed up by the road. The hero blobs were ground flat in the end.

I've gven up replacing the blobs on the vfr, I was getting through a set a year at one point, I just live with the chamfer now, besides it's kind cool in a blatently teenager sort of way. ;) ;D It was always street cred as a nipper to have no chicken strips on the rear tyre and if you got yer pegs down, nevr mind a knee, your were a legend. Obviously there were instances of ambition out weighing ability and a few get off's but it was all part lof growing up. 8)

My left shoulder would argue now though!..........thinking on, can you get new shoulders? ;D ;D ;D

I have titanium hero blobs now on my CB1300, they spark if you ground them. Looks really cool at night. So they tell me.

Ah, those hero blobs... had to replace long originals on my CB1000R by short ones, very annoying already in the first corner of the racetrack, but then next to come was brake lever and blobs remained untouched ;D
