Remember the black R100GS Special that was spotted at the Carole Nash Classic Show at Lanark on 12th May ???

The owner / creator is "The Tourist" of this site, he (Bob) lives in Lockerbie.

Bob has sent me some pictures to post (while he gets to grips with Photobucket :augie) along with this message:

"Hi Bob,
Just a quick note to say thanks for the offer to put the pictures on GSER for me, I`ll send the spec sheet so you have a better idea of what`s been done. I could do with a brief description of how to put the picture on myself, but if you could this for me I would be grateful. Let me know where you are putting them.
Did you know the bike won “Best Modern” and “The People`s Choice” the judge said it would have won best in show if it had a black rim on the front wheel, but that’s another story!!
Thanks again,
Bob."

No side stand? That might be interesting for the vertically challenged? Makes the lhs look clean though:thumb2
