You didn't mention the sidecar, otherwise I would give you a point.

I had a quick look back at the list on page 1. Venom, for one, did legal stuff when I was looking before: 'Venom road legal oval cans titanium £228.20'

The most recent number that I have seen is 51 built at the factory. At least one in Britain is ready for the road, registered and taxed, but the problem is, so far, he can't get insurance.

When you say the 'entire system', did you end up getting the headers as well? Your price is about £555, which is cheaper than the whole system in the U.K.

But that was just Jaap's Dutch Army nurse (male) period – remember? Things have moved on since then.

but I've always wondered, is this you? –>

He doesn't seem to have as much daring-do as the guy we looked at here a year ago. He was going at the same speed, but all through city traffic as far as I remember. This one is mostly on open road. The other movie isn't available any more. It might still be on another site (superbike site?). http://www.ircuser.org/files/madness.wmv http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2640&hl=

IT's SUMMERTIME. And not only that, it's BRITISH Summertime. The clocks went back last night. yawn. Whoops, they actually went forward.

more evidence as to why the buffalos in merika are so distressed. Can't you guys lay off these creatures? Just eat them and leave it at that. says me

you're looking, err, very well Martin, though you are looking rather 'peckish' after your trip away. Could you not pack enough food? Your bike must go very quack.

With dentists in the UK moving from the National Health Sevice to Private practice, there now aren't enough dentists left who are willing to read the Personal Dental Files of the great unwashed British public. The Govenment has made an agreement with the Dutch royal family to send British Personal Dental Files to Holland where they will be read by the Dutchy citizens as a new and progressive form of National Service for the C21st. Citizens will be called for service in alphabetical order. That is, starting with people whose names begin with 'A'. This post isn't the post formerly called 'Government Motorcycle Strategy' and containing a pdf of same. This post has not been edited at all and especially not by belfastguzzi

Well thanks for the lead, once again, Guy. I was outbid by £1. I was out all of today when the auction finished so I couldn't do anything more about it. The Scura tank being for sale sure was a coincidence.

It has been outside but under a good quality, lined bike cover. I don't put the cover on when the bike is wet, but wait for it to dry. I don't think that it was wet for an 'extended time'. This is the original paint, definitely not a repaint. There is no white primer showing, just the black and the thin clear coat. When moisture gets between the layers it looks grey. It's difficult to get a really good photo, so it may look like white – it is in fact the 'lifted' aeas of the clear coat.

I had them valued –> for the lot

'motorcycle chaps in distressed buffalo leather' It's a sure thing. When even the buffalos get distressed by this sort of thing, the govt. has got to act!?

Not before I sell them, he won't! Wanna buy some?

aye begorrah, the boys is out the road practising away

In fact, there is a clear coat on the matt black tank. This is what is lifting off. Perhaps it is wearing thin and then moisture is getting under it? This is only going to get worse. There are a few raised spots in the area. I wonder are these blisters forming? I took some quick photos but haven't had time to closely examine this – I think that there may be a hole that actually goes deeper than the clear coat, into the black underneath. This is different from your problem finish, Al? There are few different pics here > Scura tank pics

obviously bandanas have the same performance benefit as 'go-faster stripes' what if you combine the two?

Excellent. Thanks to all. Hopefully I will see some daylight at the weekend and will get a few photos.

The Good Captain speaks

thanks, I was looking for blistered, rather than bubbling – I kept finding posts from people whose boots didn't ft right. This isn't related to tank suck. It is on the rear, rather than the sides. Yours looks different, but it could all be due to the same underlying cause i.e. a deficient prep/paint process. Alex: the tank is indeed plastic and the finish is matt, there is no clear or protective coat.

Like when you put batteries in a torch – hope that was illuminating
