I like that close in view with the rear brake lever at bottom of frame and looking down the bellmouths.

Shame we have to put those big number plates on UK bikes.

I like that shot too, my favourite I think.

It is a shame about the plates, this is the smallest legal number plate I could do. It is the standard font but the plate has been trimmed to 10mm from the letters/numbers which is the legal minimum. I would love to get a black/silver number plate, but alas do not want to get into trouble with the Police as I am a Driving Instructor and the Authorities take a dim view of us doing things wrong.
