Don't you start with your chrome trim. What if the previous owner took it off. ;)

Debate.  ;D
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

Ah true true, I was forgetting the chrome trim!

Naturally they left it off the f2 to save weight on the 'sporty' model....

That's the theory I'm sticking to anyway!  ;)

Don't do it Steph. It just collects water and the tank goes rusty.

And they put the trim on the seat to make me jealous.   :-[

Don't worry Trigger, that was just me not being able to type on my phone! Meant 'forgetting' not 'for getting'! ::!

So much for technology, give me an old Honda any day... ;)
