Let me address these observations:
1. You're wearing a jacket that looks like something you got from the Oxfam shop in 1990
No.....Garland & Griffiths Haverfordwest 2001.
2. What the f*ck are those trousers
20 year old faded and ripped Jeans! People pay a fortune for new ones that look like this!
3. You've probably got those gay boots on
Of course.....but they're something you wouldn't understand! It's called Style!
4. The scaffolding has ruined the lines on that bike
It didn't have lines! Those give it the authentic Charley Boorman look!
5. The tyres are gay
Gay? No! Maybe slightly effeminate? Tourances will replace them eventually.
6. The cast wheels on that style of bike are gay
They're not actually cast though. Those bike spokes are actually bolted on!
On the plus side, it's a very nice village square
And that's not a village square....it's outside my house!
Regarding my pic......a lady from Georgia (US) has just said on FB:
"That is the Miami Vice look too, Pete and my goodness, you take my breathe away, Pete".
"Winter, Summer, or Fall, Pete belongs on a magazine cover".
In reality a lot of screens make it worse with the buffeting they cause! The 1st gen Strom is a classic example! Also the original XJ600S Divvy!
I've got no problem with naked bikes and no screen.....but then, I'm not doing distances at high speed!
150bhp and no screen?
That's a bit hard on the neck if you're doing distances surely?
Thinking about it, probably not! Cos the van has got a windscreen hasn't it?
I can never understand the purpose of these big naked bikes in a Judge Dredd type of style! What are they for?
They always look to me like a sportsbike where the fairing has been taken off.
This is what a big naked bike should look like to me.
