Yep I'm with the Proff on this one. I like the seat, don't listen to any gay jibes about the back rest. Most of these people LIKE top boxes!!!!!!

Be careful with pics like that -they'll want to mow the grass and trim the edges

Maybe just a lot of old snoozers with time to watch the grass grow, it's suprising what becomes important as you get older

I reckon the pictures are photoshopped, there are a fair few pictures there, none show any gang members on street corners, no guns, no hot dogs or Tacos, no cowboys, not even a 'yee har' redneck or anything remotely American.

i'm the opposite the older i get, the less i like mowing the yard. brutally evident in the pictures.
tthis is bumblebee #3 coming home this weekend. 16,000 miles, low fender, same seat. i'll buy everyone of these while they are cheap. plan is to sell the minter stock one, that will pay for the other two.

Pack,
Remember the guy auctioning the tobacco, what patter! I can sort of visualise this round your way there!
Quick question: My R100GS has no engine number next to oil-fill hole, is it elsewhere on the cases or does it mean it had a new crankcase? (Bike is 4,000kms away)

Can someone post a picture of a really grungy Bumblebee to make me feel less inadequate
Numbers are lower down on block, flat machined part behind lower rail..

This is mine - taken at St. Mary's Loch near Moffat in Feb 2008.
It doesn't look too bad, but 20 Scottish winters have pitted the alloy and I can't get the wheels or engine cases to look brighter than dull grey
Hope you feel better now
Bob.

Cheap sand blasting gun, a bag of glass beads and a compressor will bring all the casings, hubs etc up as good as they can get. Messy operation, you have to be careful to block up all holes -yours and the bikes
-and spend some time with compressed air to clean up. The glass beads get in every where. But the end result is worth the effort.

I have the full grit-blasting set-up. But never fancied pointing it at the alloy parts (even with glass beads instead of 'J-Blast Superfine')
).Its great for things like battery carriers though
