Beading colour, Model 18

Chrome? Not much of that on a Model 18!

And what is that strange word 'fast'? Doesn't ring a bell at all with me these days - roaring up the road at a ton on my Trident is only a distant memory. (My missus could hear me coming home from over five miles away when I had a 3-in-1 exhaust with a straight through silencer). Pure music 'twere!

On our sort of bikes fast is what you think you are till the cyclist overtakes you.

That's happened, but only when the top of the carb came off three times on the one VMCC run I've been on, which was in March!

You've all overlooked the best bit of speed kit ever.........black and white checked tape.

Damn it - I'm rather sorry I started this thread!! I think I'll order pink beading for the bike and see what you make of that. Don't go there...
