Hi Alisey, Nice scooter. That'll keep the chaps happy. I had a quick read back through your posts, can’t really read it thoroughly again now though – have you fixed your Autolube leak since these photos? – I take it that’s what the pink fluid is? Looks like your shed could do with dirtying up a bit, but that's not the way to do it. The best way to put photos on here is to use something like Photobucket, which is free for something like 16Gb, and is easy to use for photo and film. For big albums I’m using Flikr now too, which is also free for I think 1Tb. I’ll use one of your pics as an example in photobucket: 1) Drag & Drop your photo into photobucket: 2) Click the photo 3) Click the bottom of the four links to copy it to clipboard 4) Paste link into your message 5) Use Preview to check it 6) Repeat as many time as you like  |

lurvely bit of scooter porn, gets my saturday off on the left foot,thanks, i'm a lefty/cack handed so dont do right foots, nice lookin scoot tho, saw the floor mats on the floor ,i'd advise dumping em as they encourage/hide rust ,an unless regulary scrubbed with a toothbrush always look dusty/dirty .
an no doubt certain reprobates on here will now tell you ya need mirrors/racks/chrome ,i'd leave as is being a "less is more" kind of guy ,an be careful of scratches/rubs as white is the hardest paint to blend in repairs/chips on . so "ride it like ya stole it an park it like its hired " ,Henri.
an sime once again i reckon youve a blossoming second career as a tech photographer ,an as you understand flicker n photobucket an can explain it ,all puter stuff is a invention of the devil being my opinion,are you related to beezlebub or work for him, if so put a gud word in for me ,cant hurt to curry favour in my eventual retirement home. Henri

Hey sime, yeah I sorted the leak, well it wasn't actually a leak I unscrewed the looking glass because I was curious. Dont worry ive got a nice pile of dirty rags building up on the floor! Cheers for the guide as well I used this method too upload an event picture! Weird thing was I went onto photobucket and I already had an account with some pictures on...
Mirrors are on their way henri lol - but only two! along with a new cover with the holes for em in. Think I will leave the mat off it's nice to have it minimal. Well there's two directions i may go in - rear rack with spare wheel and a flag, some accessories but not fully modded out, or the less is more approach with everything nice and clean, nice paint job, wheels etc. And a sweet ass racing seat!

Now I remember some tit unscrewing the sight glass! – Glad you got it sorted. They do look good unmolested, but I reckon mirrors are essential, and I reckon they look odd with mirrors and no flyscreen. I have a rack for practical reasons like rallies, not to hang flags off! It’s very much your scoot to bling as much or little as you want, for your taste. Of course now you’ve got uploading the photos sorted out, we’ll expect more scooter-porn as you bling it up mate. Here’s a comparison of mine, bare, and with the bits on – I do like it bare, but it isn’t very practical:  (The front mudguard chrome bumper is going; I just haven’t got round to it ‘cos I need to paint under it) |

Im torn at the moment, i really could do with mirrors, and would probably feel safer having them, but hate the look of them as they come which is why i had them removed. Im looking for another solution.

haha yes yes I am the big titty. It's annoying me not knowing if any old bill are behind me when I want to give it some ( Giving it some up to the relevant speed limit, of course) however the fact my bloomin speedos packed up again doesn't help either!
I'm afraid your gonna have to wait on the scooter porn because we had a problem with our new camera not turning on just after we bought it so sent it back for it too be fixed, they've sent it back only problem is they forgot to put the battery back in the camera!
Nice bike too man I like the backrest, do you actually use it?! Are they indicators on the front of the blinged up one I see you've changed 'em? Agreed about the chrome mudguard bumps too.

How about a rear facing camera mickingle? Then you could mount a screen somewhere up front..

Alisey, those were posted just for interest, not as serious alternatives to proper mirrors.
If you really don't want a good pair of mirrors, why not consider legshield stadium mirrors?
I think they're ineffective and overpriced, but that's just my opinion.
Re earlier questions:
- Yes the rack gets well loaded up with tent etc for rallies.
- I've got black smoke indicator lenses (with orange bulbs), and I've got a black smoke flyscreen to match.
Keep it legal, but do your scooter how you like it, and if anyone doesn't like it then sod 'em!
