I thought white lenses were standard oops.
Think i'll get the front wheel matched to the back.

Leaves are optional organic gel seat option :lol:

Glad to see you've got the fastest (and most tasteful) colour...
2011 Harley-Davidson FLD Switchback - yeah, I know. I've always wanted one though...

I was going to buy that bike! :shock:

You beat me to it because I got caught behind a haywagon on the M25. Also DObles only offered me £300 for my f650 :roll:

However, I bought a blue 2005 one from South London Motorcycles instead- and I love it. :D

Ahh, Sorry about that, it was the best one i could find and they offered me a grand for my ten year old zrx. Had a bit of a run in with South London in the past, so wouldn't buy from them.
Still trying to get used to the R, time will tell.

Maybe see you at one of the local haunts? :wav:

Nae bother- the blue one matches my jacket better. :p

Can't say I would buy from Dobles after being offered peanuts for my bike. Although he did raise his offer to a grand after I said I'd not consider anything less than £1300 for it. :twisted:

Hope you get on with it.

You sure you weren't at Flatford Mill, Dedham Vale? :D
(intellectual joke)

I do like the colour. It reminds me of a happy two hours I spent co-hosting The Biker Show on WVLS Allegheny Mountain Radio - about nine or ten years ago - as guest presenter. One of the songs was called "Battleship Grey", all about a guy who bought an old Norton. Can't remember who it was by (it wasn't any of those that pop up on Google when I searched).

Lovely ride from the co-presenter's home 25 miles through the Appalachians on an old Triumph Daytona...
