Steve's already said that the photos were on the exit from the bend - if there was nothing coming the other way............ Nothing wrong with those positions?

Then plug me back in..........

It`s a bike prone to abuse and failure so we are informed love the home made plywood fairings though :wink:
Fiat Panda.
Fiat Scudo (with speedblock, pipe carrier, reversing sensors, reversing camera, tow bar, some new rust and Fake Plumber logo)


started out with nothing, still have most of it left.

What's that blue thing on the front brake calipers in the first two pics?
Just some bling-bling?

Thanks!

Well, I guess those calipers need to be protected when storming through the Amazons, South America, or the rain forest in Congo, Africa.
