None of those Ted - Just a small boating lake at Stubbing Court Wingerworth :)

I might also add, Oscar Wilde's quote “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness"

Despite what Oscar Wilde says my 500 will end up Black not remain the bronze colour it is (when funds permit) - I think it makes the 500 look more retro in a good way as does the old style front number plate.

Out on mine today, first outing this year. Dry roads, no wind, not too cold and no salt, what more cold you want?  :) [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

When I had my first 500 Gold I always wanted black, so I changed the colour, then I preferred the gold after a bit, then went back to black (I know a song about that  ;D ) and then I wanted gold again. I always fancied Candy Jade Green as well after buying a side panel in the colour but never fancied the brown at all.

I did this in about 1978 to my first 500, started off black and standard, but ended up like this (black base coat with mirrorflake) definitely a 70's thing! Apologies for the quality of the photo - taken with a Kodak 126 Instamatic  :) [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
